# Finch 101: Generating Unit Plans

{% embed url="<https://www.youtube.com/watch?index=10&list=PLAT8LHZMhh0HbJ-13-kC0wWOHm5lHDPn9&v=2cSPxv__ybA>" %}

### 1. Review Your Floor Plate

Open your project and **double-click** into a unit-mixed floor plate (e.g., from the previous tutorial).

Confirm that Finch has already generated unit boundaries.

***

### 2. Set Graph Rules (Optional but Recommended)

Before assigning unit plans, set **graph rules** to ensure consistency across apartments.

#### Steps:

* Click the **Graph Rules** icon in the top toolbar
* Define baseline rules:
  * Minimum bedroom size
  * Bathroom size
  * Overall unit constraints

These rules guide layout consistency and regulatory alignment across all units.

***

### 3. Select a Unit to Begin

Click any unit to get started. For mirrored units (e.g., same shape and size), you only need to assign one—Finch can mirror and sync the rest.

Example: Select a `75.1 m²` unit.

***

### 4. Generate or Reuse Plans

You have two options based on your Finch subscription level:

#### Basic Users

* Click **Scan My Library**
* This searches for plans you’ve personally saved to your account

#### Enterprise Users

* Click **Generate Plan**
* OR just **double-click** the unit for a shortcut

Finch will automatically detect:

* **Facade walls** (for daylighting)
* **Entry points** (for circulation)

***

### 5. Review Plan Suggestions

Plans are displayed in two tiers:

* **Your Studio's Plan Library** (top results)
  * Includes accessibility settings, custom tags, regional data, and furniture
* **Finch-Generated Plans** (below)
  * Fast, regulation-aware layouts, but unfurnished

Use studio plans for speed\
Save Finch-generated plans to your studio dataset for future reuse

***

### 6. Use Filters to Refine Results

To avoid browsing 1000+ plans, apply filters:

* **Bedrooms** (e.g., 2)
* **Bathrooms** (e.g., 1)
* **Region** (e.g., UK for region-specific codes)

Finch will only show plans that match your filters and have a **score ≥ 75%**

You can lower this threshold, but results below 75% may require more manual adjustment.

***

### 7. Inspect Plan Fit Score

Each plan includes a **match score** (e.g., 96%).

Click the **Data Drawer** to explore:

* **Adaptivity**: How much each room had to stretch or compress
* **Daylight**: Whether daylight-required rooms meet facade requirements
* **Room-by-room scores**: Red = more deviation

Use this to understand how well a plan fits your unit shape.

***

### 8. Assign and Customize the Plan

Click **Assign to Unit** to place your chosen plan.

Once applied:

* The plan remains editable
* Use **drag tools** to modify walls, resize rooms, or reorient furniture
* Save changes with the **Save Plan** button or by double-clicking outside the unit

Example:

* Narrow a hallway
* Shift the dining room
* Tweak storage

***

### 9. Smart Copy & Mirrored Sync

If multiple units share the same dimensions:

#### Use `Control + C` to copy the plan

Then select a matching unit and `Control + V` to paste

Finch automatically mirrors layouts when orientation is reversed (e.g., corridor is on the opposite side) — and keeps them **linked**.

Any edit made to one will update the others.

***

### 10. Assign Across the Floor

To assign multiple identical units:

1. Open the **Unique Units** drawer
2. Select all units with matching geometry
3. Use `Control + V` to apply the layout

Finch will apply mirroring and linking automatically.

***

### Summary

You’ve learned how to:

* Apply graph rules for layout control
* Generate unit plans from your personal or studio dataset
* Filter and assign layouts based on bedrooms, bathrooms, and region
* Fine-tune unit interiors and use smart-mirroring for efficiency
