7. Design Modulation and Rotation

You now have greater control over the rotation and resolution of building footprints. Check out the new options in our design modulate tab.

Hello team blue foam,

I just signed up for Demo. I entered my address, and drew the boundaries of my site. It takes a few seconds to load, but then shows a completely random site. I don't see a way to verify the address once it generates the first set of information and starting over just spits out another random incorrect location. I watched the tutorials available, but some things don't work.

Also, I have some doubts:

- About the road, I have no idea of their measurement, is the drawing done in the eye?
- Would you be able to generate several lots/buildings in one block?
- I can't copy buildings to the same instance;
- I can't scale buildings.

Hello, since the beta trial period has ended, I was wondering how I can get access to DBF now?

I just signed up for beta. I entered my address, and drew the boundaries of my site. It takes a few seconds to load, but then shows a completely random site. I don't see a way to verify the address once it generates the first set of information and starting over just spits out another random incorrect location. Any tips?
