Parallel and perpendicular to

I've been struggling with the use of Parallel and Perpendicular to for a few hours now. I'm trying to draw a series of houses parallel and perpendiccular, but for some reason I cannot select a previous house as an entity for the new one to be parallel to. Any insight?

    Which kind of houses are you talking about here. Symbols or houses drawn with the house tool?

    In both cases, the command work fine for me, but remember that this modifier works on a line, you can't really make a house parallel to a another house, but you can make it parallel to a line in another house (such as the outline). Also note that the modifier won't affect the rotation of the symbol, it is only a modifier for the placement point.

    In regards to houses, I would probably use a couple of construction lines for guides, and make the buildings parallel/perpendicular to those.
  • Hi Monsen.Thanks for that. I'm using the house tool, so I'm going to try using the outline as you suggest. I'll keep you updated.
