    That's cool. What kind of work? It is more of that data. Most people can't afford an architect and almost everyone who buys a templated plan from one of those sites ends up changin…

    I like your house plan collection. Thanks for sharing. You should try creating a house and let me know what you think.

    We have people in almost every country use the product, but we need to add metric system for it to be more relevant. There are likely much different codes as well and this has been…

    In 2-3 days, we are pushing a change to the flow of the product to start on a project and orient more heavily towards designing with a purpose. That page will still exist, but as a…

    Thank you! At some point we will. We are working through the basic generative interactions mechanics and manual editing to allow for people who need to get more nuanced to do so an…

    That's definitely a good use case. Our goal is to make it as easy as possible to design a home. We aren't trying to replace an architect. It'll allow people who couldn't do it befo…

    Completely agree with this. Most cities in the US are not that strict. Those cities are where building actually happen. Not in LA, Bay Area, etc, etc. Majority of homes being const…

    You are literally building your own house? that's cool! I started and ran a tech-enabled pre-construction service for ~6 years and grew up in a homebuilding family. Codes, structur…

    There are a lot of people who dream scroll well in advance of buying or building, so we hope this can be a good place for productive exploration. I'm hoping people get inspired eno…

    I haven't seen anything that can do that. If you're wanting to walkthrough a house that's listed, some houses have 3D walkthroughs. We are working on being able to upload a floor p…

    A bidet would be cool and something we can add to the roadmap!

    We've had people design a house in the software and then recreate it in the sims. We also added .GLB file types because game designers were wanting to put houses in their video gam…

    Thank you for trying it out :) There's an insanely big probability space and everyone has very unique desires/preferences when designing. I'm really excited to see what people come…

    Let me know how it goes! Engineering would be awesome! We want to get to training the model on structural constraints. We will start with basic foundation drawing, but will get dee…

    We had a bug with our furnishing generations that is now fixed, we are working on backfilling all of the old renders that had the issue. Hopefully this fixes most of the room rewri…

    Yeah - we are working on adding multi-story in the next 2 months. I'd love to have you try it :D Zoning constraints will likely be another few months beyond multi-story.

    Right now we are focused on single-family ground-up design. There are people using it for ADUs, but it's not trained to do that well. We plan to make the model better for ADU's aft…

    I appreciate the feedback. They aren't perfect. The renders are just aethetic images that often rewrite the plan, the base plan that you can download doesn't include these. We are …

    Thank you! After we get through building out the basic design tooling, we plan to get more into designing a specific plot of land and will look at adding zoning related contraints.…
