Recommended test
Open two contrasting starter projects and compare what each preset configures automatically.
- Start with the Double Garage preset and note its footprint, floor approach and gable roof.
- Return to startup and open the Sauna preset; compare the smaller footprint and skillion roof.
- Open Build Generator in each project and inspect the inherited floor, wall and roof choices.
- Save neither test unless you want to keep it; start the real project with the closest structural baseline.
Available starting points
The startup screen offers Build from scratch, Open workspace and four wired examples: Double Garage, Cabin/Shed, House and Sauna. They are structural baselines rather than decorative templates.
The garage uses an uninsulated gable/truss setup suited to seeing a foundation-wall style floor. The cabin uses an insulated gable/ridge-beam arrangement. The house demonstrates a larger insulated A-frame attic truss configuration. The sauna demonstrates a compact uninsulated skillion roof.
Pick by structure
Choose the preset whose floor, wall insulation and roof system are closest to the intended project—not simply the closest visual shape. Changing dimensions is easy in Build Generator; changing the structural idea later can affect openings, dormers and quantities.
Review inherited settings
Open Build Generator before relying on the result. Confirm width, length, wall height, floor type, insulation, roof type, framing system and roof angle. Presets use real configured values, so they are useful teaching material, but they do not calculate engineering suitability.
Start from scratch when needed
Use an empty workspace for individual Custom Solids or when no starter resembles the intended structure. For a building, even a rough matching preset can make the first inspection quicker because it demonstrates the object hierarchy and related output tools immediately.
