Currently it only appears possible to visualise the units based on their area, which in some instances would be useful to differentiate between 1, 2 and 3 bed apartments, however it doesn't allow to differentiate from different types of ownership/tenure.
We often deliver projects with mix ownership for example social-housing and private rental. It's necessary to differential between the two in our analysis.
We need to ability to define different unit types so that they can be allocated to specific units. This will allow a more detailed analysis of mix to be undertaken and to be visualised. These may be things like
- Private Rental 2 bed single aspect
- Social-housing 3 bed dual aspect
- Private Rental 3 bed duplex
- Economy/Standard/Premium Student Apartment/Suite
I would expect this allocation to occur within the floor plan area, and the ability to save these to the library.
From a visualisation perspective, I want to be able to define the colours for these units so that they can be visualised in canvas and a schedule be exportable from the proposal.
When I export to Revit, I would expect these units types to be identifiable.
Adding these features would enable Forma to be utilised more intelligently for space planning from the outset of a project.
