Re: Parametrically defined or scripted home

Even if only as a thought experiment, it would be interesting to see how such a script would work.
It seems to me relatively easy to define a set of rooms with a few basic parameters, but how would you define the placement of rooms relative to each other?

Recently, I've played around a bit with AI generators, and although they produce something that vaguely resembles a house, they're impossible to live in because of the haphazard orientation of the rooms.

Thanks for the reply.

The placement of the rooms would be defined basically as "first wall width + first room width + second wall width + second room width + ...".
I did not meant automatic room placement.

As an example, I have a long hall (hallway, corridor, ...) with several rooms on one side. My use case would be something like:
- what if I switch these two rooms (which would shift all other rooms and would need complete redrawing), how would it look like?
- what if I enlarge this and this room and make this room smaller, what would it look like?
- ...
