Best for row housing, detached housing, townhouse developments, and neighborhood-scale residential planning
Using Houses for Fast Residential Layout
- Place multiple houses along a line to quickly generate row houses or repeated residential units
- Place single houses individually for more precise positioning and orientation
- Adjust alignment, spacing, and orientation directly within the layout
- Customize and create house types by defining size, shape, and parcel dimensions
- Switch between house types and update multiple units at once
- You can customize house types — controlling the size, shape, parcel dimensions, and switch between different housing types within one proposal.
Houses can be released from the line for individual editing and greater design control (This cannot be undone.)
Adjusting the House Type or Alignment
When you create a row of Houses, you can adjust the House type or alignment.
Select the houses.
- Modify alignment.
- Change the buffer for the road — to define setbacks and spatial relationships between the housing and public circulation areas.
- Or release to single houses — when individual adjustments are needed later.
Select a standard house type from the available template.
Or, create a new custom house type.
Creating Multiple House Types
You can create multiple house types. They are saved in your house templates.
To place different house types next to each other, you can:
- Release the housing line into individual houses for separate editing by click the unlock icon.
- Or, switch to the Place Singles mode (versus Multiple on Line) to position and edit each house individually.
