Week notes #69
WikiHouse configurator - please test it
A quick one to let you know that the WikiHouse configurator PROTOTYPE is here:
password: skylark
Over the last year we have been developing the WikiHouse configurator - an online tool that enables anyone to rapidly design and customise buildings for on-demand manufacturing. As you design, you can immediately see the estimated impact of your decisions on cost, performance and embodied carbon, based on the latest data.
We want to emphasise that the configurator is currently a working prototype. At this stage we are looking for people within the worldwide WikiHouse community (you!) to help us test this prototype. You will find a feedback form within the configurator, or you can email us or use the community to tell us what you think
Some things we suggest you try when testing it:
Finding a site to build your project on
Drawing a site boundary
Placing a structure on the site
Editing your structure to increase/decrease the floor area Adding or removing a window
Changing the cladding of the building to a different material
Giving your building a name
Downloading 3D models and order list for the project
A few things to note:
The configurator is currently localised for the UK, so you will see measurements in m2 and £
There might be a slight delay when loading the models
You can interact with the building menu by using left and right clicks
