The building site tool is to be used when defining a building where footprint and placement is specified by the user and not the algorithm. Three different types of building can be placed drawn and are based on a backbone or centerline along with a rectangular footprint. The three different tool types are defined below:
Point house:
- Is defined by a point and direction.
- The anchor point can be set as left corner, right corner, bottom center or center.
- Specify a type plan used. Note that this type plan can be changed later.
Slab building:
- Is defined by a polyline.
- Each segment of the building polyline must be longer than 17 m. A corner can not be sharper than 70 degrees.
- The polyline alignment can be defined as left, center or right.
- A default unit distribution will be defined for the entire building which can be updated later.
Courtyard building:
- Is defined by a polygon.
- Each segment of the building polygon must be longer than 25 m. A corner can not be sharper than 70 degrees. Note that some complex shapes might result in no building generated.
- The polygon alignment can be defined as left, center or right.
- A default unit distribution will be defined for the entire building which can be updated later.
