Original Summary

I have a piece of land with some old buildings on it, and I wanted to figure out what kind of new building could fit there and, more importantly, where it should go and how it should be oriented. I could obviously draw some rectangles on a piece of paper and move them around. But I wanted to actually see what different layouts would look like in 3D — especially in relation to the existing buildings, driveway, trees and the shape of the property. The obvious alternative was learning a proper CAD or architectural design program. But I didn't really want to spend a bunch of time learning complicated software just to answer a relatively simple question: “What could I actually fit on this piece of land?” So I built acrePlanner. The idea is to make a simple 3D representation of a property and let you experiment with different layouts. You can place buildings and other elements on the plot and then move around the scene to get a better feel for how everything fits together. The video shows an example of the kind of thing I was trying to achieve — this is an actual property layout I was experimenting with, with the existing buildings, a possible new house/garage layout, trees, fencing and the surrounding roads. It's deliberately much simpler than CAD. It's not meant to produce architectural drawings or replace professional planning software. It's more of a “let me quickly try a few ideas and see what this would look like” tool. I built it with a lot of help from AI while coding. Once I had it working reasonably well for my own use, I started thinking that I'm probably not the only person who has this problem. So I decided to share it and see if anyone else finds it useful. https://acreplanner.com/ I'd especially love to hear from people who have their own plot of land, are renovating an existing property, or have ever tried to figure out where a new building could fit. What would you want a tool like this to be able to do?   submitted by   /u/skvidvard_yeet [link]   [comments]
