This study introduces a framework that leverages the synergistic potential of Virtual Reality (VR) and Machine Learning (ML) to enhance graphical modeling in engineering architectural design. Traditional clash detection methods Building Information Modeling (BIM) systems are predominantly reactive, identifying discrepancies only after their occurrence, leading costly time-consuming design revisions. By integrating ML algorithms with VR-driven BIM, our approach proactively identifies resolves clashes, as demonstrated across 28 diverse projects. The results indicate reduction clashes by 16% iterative revisions 15%, culminating 12% decrease overall project timelines. research underscores transformative impact combining VR on additive manufacturing (AM) workflows, significantly improving efficiency reducing nature traditional methods. findings highlight framework’s scalability adaptability, promising substantial advancements architecture practices.
