Structure Management

Building structures is easy with Architect.
 * 1) Simply place the appropiate "Controller Object" located in the "Buildings" or "Foundations" menu in the workshop.
 * 2) Use the controller to bringt up the menu, and clock on "Select Building Design".
 * 3) In the design screen, click on whichever design you want the system to pick, then click ACCEPT, then close the window.

The structure menu has many options to customize each building you place.

Many structures have multiple "Layers" which contain different levels of detail and objects.

Some of these layers: are beds, chairs, lights, doors, stairs, clutter, and other detail. Each layer can be independently toggled on or off.

Main Menu


NOTES: - Position the structure before decorating! - Beds are OFF by default - Not all designs have beds, seats, devices, doors, etc.

Select Building Design

 * Selecting multiple designs will randomly choose one of them.

Nudge Base (Position/Rotation)

 * You can move the controller around easily re-position the structure, or you can nudge it from the menu (which is best used for moving ip up or down).

Lock All Objects: ON/OFF

 * The building can be "Locked", which allows you to move the controller where you want, without it moving the building too.





Main Building: ON/OFF




Design
NOTE: Design options take time to load, so make sure your Position is set before start "decorating".

Global Architect Options



 * You can permanently change the default of each layer in the Global Architect options. This effects all newly placed buildings.

Locking Plate System
"Locking Plate System" allows for easy placement of Architect buildings in pre-set places. Currently, it's only used for Colossal Structure: "The Gallows". NOTE: In order to gain access to the Locking Plates, first place your Structure (Buildings) and afterwards open the "Structure Management" and scroll down to the "Locking Plate Tab"
 * This new system is designed to drop "Locking Plates" down in certain settlements, to help align Colossal Structures (Buildings)
 * The menu can be accessed from any controller
 * Currently only Hangman's Alley uses this so far

Author-Created Structures
"Instructions, tips, and discussions will be provided to help you assemble all the parts of your building. I've worked out many easy shortcuts and processes to help make buildings relatively quick. Navcuts are NOT needed for Architect buildings, providing you follow my tips. Navmeshes work fully upon placement in Architect. Keep in mind, I don't have time to teach authors the basics on building structures in the creation kit, you need to have some understanding yourself."
 * Architect has support for authors to add their own buildings via an addon module
 * Alternatively, authors can contact Zawinul about contributing structures directly to Architech:
