Download the new version here: Morphis Installer

Features

Area Selection

• Similar to how you can select room and filled regions, you can now select Areas as well.
  

Baking/Placing Rooms

• Similar to how you can bake/place walls, you can now place rooms and set any parameter you want for the newly created room
  

Import Modules as Rooms

• You can now import modules as rooms by following these steps:

1. Click Import Modules
   

2. Import Excel sheet (1) > Select a sheet (2) > Change starting cell (3) > Click Continue (4)
   

   
   • Note: Excel sheet must be closed when importing it to Morphis (only when using button #1)

3. Map Excel sheet columns with room/Morphis parameters
   

4. [Optional] Using the first column “Morphis: Is Selected”, select which rows you will like to use for module creation
   

   
   • Tip: This column is helpful as it allows you to uncheck your “titles” in your Excel sheet

5. Click Import Modules

6. Morphis will create new modules based on the parameters that you mapped

• Module wall type populates automatically
• Baking/placing walls feature has been improved. It is now faster and more reliable

May is it possible to detail the alignment function by tutorial somehow?
I have some issues to understand and to manipulate this.
Thx, regards from BR.

Is it possible to select or lock individual modules while continuing to generate solutions for the remaining modules? Additionally, are there strategies to either save path/region settings within Morphis or return to previous generated layouts?

[Ben]

@aebbert - welcome to the forum!

The features you’ve mentioned are in our backlog, and we will be building them out soon:

• design options: ability to go to previous layouts and compare metrics to alternate layouts
• layout presets: save all layout settings including region, path & module configurations, and other settings of unreleased features
• locking modules & paths so that only the remaining portion is regenerated

Currently we are gearing for the V1 release that will include:

• Generative layouts: layouts generated intelligently based on constraints
• Adjacencies: design constraint that will work with generative layouts
  • NOTE: the other built-in design constraint is the module count requirement

After the V1 release, we will be focusing on the features you’ve mentioned in the order above.

[aebbert]

@Ben Are you able to provide an estimated timeline of the release for these features?

[Ben]

We anticipate releasing V1 and V1.1 next quarter. However, the module & path locking might not make it into the V1.1 release. The other features mentioned should be included.
