FloorPlan6 — open-source apartment layout generator looking for contributors

Dawid — Tue, 05 May 2026 13:44:02 GMT

Update — FloorPlan6 is now on GitHub (open-source, AGPL-3.0)

Following up on my earlier thread about a floor-plan generator: https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Parametric-design/Floor-plan-generator/m-p/699587#M2271 is now public and looking for contributors.

Repo: https://github.com/poolpet/floorplan6

What it does

A 4-stage pipeline from a plot polygon (drawn in ArchiCAD) to a complete apartment layout — every output enforces the Polish Building Code (WT 2002, amended 2024-08-01):

1. Plot subdivision — placeholder, open for contributors

2. Volumetric generator — placeholder, open for contributors

3. Floor layout MVP — divides a floor into apartments with a compliant stairwell, 1.4 m corridor and ≤ 40 m walking distance to the nearest stairwell, validated by Dijkstra

4. Apartment layout stable — CP-SAT solver places rooms inside an outline read from ArchiCAD; 7 templates M1–M5; bathroom hard-capped at 5 m²; living room takes 80 % of the excess area; export back to AC as native Zones via Tapir

Tech

Python 3.10+, OR-Tools CP-SAT, Shapely 2, PyQt5, ArchiCAD bridge via [Tapir Add-On](https://github.com/ENZYME-APD/tapir-archicad-automation ).

Works with AC 27 / 28 / 29.

How to help

The biggest help-wanted areas are listed in [CONTRIBUTING.md]https://github.com/poolpet/floorplan6/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md

- Stage 1 — plot subdivision (MPZP zoning). Architectural questions

Q1–Q5 in `docs/OPEN_QUESTIONS.md` are still open

- Stage 2 — volumetric generator (storeys + roof to AC slabs)

- Stage 3 — L-shape / U-shape support (current MVP is rectangular)

- Walls + doors export to AC (currently zones only)
