- Compare multiple design options with area distribution shown in real time
Transcript
With the site ready, I can focus on form. Using grids, I'll start drawing blocks and assigning them to departments. The live area dashboard shows exactly how much of my target program is achieved, so I can design freely without losing alignment with the brief. For example, I can create an L-shaped academic building with elementary and high school wings, break the grid for the gym, and still see area distribution in real time. Each option I test generates its own analysis, making comparisons quick and data driven. Try now at snaptrude.com.
