Design types (Parametric Design)

Design types

There are two types of design lay-outs available. The design type dictates the algorithm used to place the defined elements.

Road aligned design

A selection generated through parametric design, with the "Road aligned" design type.

In and around the selected area, roads are sought. The new roads in the design are connected to the existing roads. The roads divide the space in blocks. Waterways, parking spaces and the sidewalk are placed alongside the roads. Each rectangle consists of buildings, gardens and public green. Public green can also be placed alongside a road. This design type can be best used for creating spatial plans which consists of buildings.

Spaced design

A selection generated through parametric design, with the "Spaced" design type.

In the defined area for the design, a grid of circular selections are created. This design type can be best used for creating spatial plans which consist of trees or for example wind turbines.

Notes

• Save to current: a test run is not started. Instead it is applied to the Current Situation. This method is not easily reversed.
• A parametric design can only be generated on an empty Terrain. Remove the existing Constructions first or choose an undeveloped area for your design.
