Abstract
In various embodiments, a grid-based design application automatically generates a design for a structural system of a building. In operation, the grid-based design application generates a structural grid based on a region within a computer-aided design of the building. Subsequently, the grid-based design application applies the structural grid to the region to generate a gridded region. The grid-based design application computes a set of spanning directions based on the gridded region. The grid-based design application then generates at least a portion of the design for the structural system based on the set of spanning directions and the gridded region.
