Random house styles

SomeoneElseSomeoneElse
in Mapping with ProFantasy's Software
I'm trying to make a city in CD3. I've been using the street tool a bit but find I often want to more control over house palcement and shape so fall back to the individual house tool. I was wondering if there is a way to make it so that every time I create a new house with the house tool, its style is somewhat random? e.g. just like you can specify the different styles of houses and the probabilty they occur when using the street tool. Because it's kind of annoying to have to keep going back and changing from default to default dark and back again as I decide I want another house of a different colour.

    I Agree that would be a nice feature, but it is currently not available from the house tool, sorry. We'll add it to the wish list.

    This would be a good feature, ideally just a check box on the HOUSE dialog based on the Random Street settings.

    In the mean time, here is how it's possible to do it with a macro. You can cut and paste this into fcw32.mac in a text editor and save it before launching CC3. Press F7 and you'll get a random choice between CD3C Fantasy, CD3C Default and CD3C Future styles. You can change these, and add extra styles.
