| Create a new [[parametric design]] definition.
| Click on the [[Future Design]] tab
| Select the desired design type. Use "road aligned" for [[Construction]]s placed along the roads. Use "spaced" for all other plans.
| Hover over the Parametric Design button and choose [[Parametric_Design#Road_aligned_design|Add road aligned]] or [[Parametric_Design#Spaced_design|Add spaced design]]. In the left panel a new Design is added.
| Select the desired [[Function]]. This will be type of [[Construction]] placed by the design.
| Select the Design in the left panel and click on the Functions tab in the right panel. Select the desired [[Function|functions]]. This will be type of [[Construction]]s placed by the design.
| Select the desired floors. This can either be a fixed value, meaning all resulting [[Construction]]s will be that exact amount of floors, or the value is not fixed, and the amount of floors will be random for each generated [[Construction]].
| Adjust the paramaters in the Road and Plot tabs.
| Draw the extent in the [[3D world]].  
| Click on the Draw Area button in the right bottom corner and draw the area for the design in the [[3D world]].  
| Set the surface area and distance. Tweaking them alternatingly can help to find the desired result.
| Then adjust the parameters in the Design tab.
| Verify that the selections in the [[3D world]] looks appropriate the desired result. If not, tweak the configuration further.
| Click on Generate Design.
| Apply the design.
| Verify that the selections in the [[3D world]] looks like the desired result. If not, tweak the parameters (in the Design tab) further.
| Verify that the result is correct. If not, revert the application and tweak the configuration further.
| Either apply the design to start a [[Test Run]] or click on Save to Current to construct the Design in the [[Current Situation]].  
| Verify that the result is correct. If not, revert the application by clicking on Revert last Design and tweak the configuration further (this step is not possible when having the design saved to Current).

How to create and use a Parametric design:
  1. Click on the Future Design tab
  2. Hover over the Parametric Design button and choose Add road aligned or Add spaced design. In the left panel a new Design is added.
  3. Select the Design in the left panel and click on the Functions tab in the right panel. Select the desired functions. This will be type of Constructions placed by the design.
  4. Adjust the paramaters in the Road and Plot tabs.
  5. Click on the Draw Area button in the right bottom corner and draw the area for the design in the 3D world.
  6. Then adjust the parameters in the Design tab.
  7. Click on Generate Design.
  8. Verify that the selections in the 3D world looks like the desired result. If not, tweak the parameters (in the Design tab) further.
  9. Either apply the design to start a Test Run or click on Save to Current to construct the Design in the Current Situation.
  10. Verify that the result is correct. If not, revert the application by clicking on Revert last Design and tweak the configuration further (this step is not possible when having the design saved to Current).

Notes

  • A parametric design can only be generated on an Empty Terrain. Remove the Constructions first or choose an undeveloped area.
  • Tip: use the Polygon pick selection tool to draw the area for the design.
