Apartments (Line-based)

Use the apartment transform to create an apartment building based on a single line.

How to:

1. Draw a Line
2. Click “Open flow builder”
3. Select ‘apartment block’
4. Edit the settings and outputs in either the Flow Builder or Properties

• Size

  • Set corridor width
  • Set depth of the right and left sides independently
  • Set the start and end depth

• Dwellings

  • Set your dwelling requirements, just like you would in the Usages editor
  • Adjust the unit mix using the sliders
  • Add or delete unit types to meet your requirements

  <aside> 💡 Unit count in the apartment algorithm is not connected to the Dwellings properties in Usages. Instead, the algorithm creates multiple geometries - 1 for each unit. The resulting unit mix is based on counting these geometries, not from a mathematical property.

  </aside>

• Balcony

  • Set the balcony alignment, length, start or end offsets individually for each unit type
  • Set the external and internal offsets
  • Toggle endcap or split

To override the algorithm:

Use detailed edit mode. Either

• Toggle on “edit mode” in the generated features settings
• Use Hotkeys shift + a with the apartment geometry selected

To manually adjust apartments in edit mode:

• Drag units to change their position
• Drag nodes to change unit size
• Hold alt and drag a node to add another unit
• Drag a node all the way into another node to delete a unit
