House types

The generator places houses from your house-type palette. Each type has a footprint and a target share of the mix, so you control both the product and the density.

The types list

The House types section lists the types in the current project. Each has a name, a footprint (width × depth) and a mix weight — the proportion of that type the generator aims for. The result mix in the stats panel shows how close the layout came.

Mark

The small box beside a type's name is its mark — up to two characters, shown on every house of that type when you switch on House type marks. Leave it blank and the mark is the first two characters of the name (Berwick becomes BE). It can also be set in the house builder.

Adding a type

Use Add type to create a new one, or open the house builder to design a bespoke house — footprint, storeys, roof, windows, doors, garage and drive — and add it to the palette.
