TestFit Release - 4.8 - Zoning Data and Custom Garden Buildings


custom garden 3

Highlights

  • Zoning data is now automatically pulled for the current view as a zoning map and when a site is created, pulled for 13 zoning controls. These controls range from setbacks, maximum density (DU/AC), FAR and height restrictions. The user can define property edges as a specific zoning control (front, side, or rear) as well as set zoning profiles that monitor if certain controls are met. (for example, if the building height is greater than the height restriction or the density is past the zoning maximum)
  • Custom garden buildings allow users to have more flexibility and control over the type of buildings that are placed in the Garden configurator. Users can add a floor plan image, set the width, depth, number of floors, number of units, and unit types amongst many other pieces of data.
  • The new UI is enabled by default and the old UI has been removed.
