The Generate menu

The Generate menu (⚙️, top bar) is where layouts are created. It has three actions.

The Generate menu — Site, Car park and Fences.
The Generate menu — Site, Car park and Fences.

Site (🏘)

Lays out the whole scheme across your boundary — roads with junctions and turning heads, house plots with gardens and driveways, and parking to your target ratio. This is the main generator; see Gen 2 organic vs Gen 1 ladder for the two engines.

Car park (🅿)

Fills the selected car-park area with parking bays and circulation aisles. Use this after drawing a car-park area with the palette tool. See Car-park areas & the parking cycler.

Fences (🪵)

Automatically builds fences: a boundary treatment around the site and party fences between plot gardens, pairing shared boundaries and trimming overlaps. See plot detailing for tidying afterwards.

Order of work. A typical flow is Generate ▸ Site, tune with the cycler, edit by hand, then Generate ▸ Fences last so fences follow your final plots.
