Click on the Centerline icon
Draw a centerline
A centerline controls the placement of Finch generated corridors. It represents the centerline of the corridor itself (if you input a 2m corridor, the corridor will be offset both sides of the centerline by 1m).
Select the areas you want to generate in (hold shift to select multiple) and hit Generate Floor Plate on the Context Menu.
The generation will begin to run.
The more iterations that run, the more accurate the result will become.
Input the desired Stairwell range in the upper left panel.
Input your Maximum egress distances to generate according to exit distances.
Use Stairwell Attractors (shortcut S) to control which facade the stairwells face.
Adjust Dimensions to customize further.
Users can continously change parameters to interact with the algorithm throughout the generation process.
In the bottom left corner, interact with the algorithm weights to optimize for certain metrics.
Metrics with their sliders further to the right will be prioritized.
Once you are satisifed with the corridor placement, pause the algorithm and click Generate Units.
Follow the instructions on how to generate around a custom core.
