A nice idea but.. Prefabricated houses have been around for some time, I can see how one size doesn't fit all but I think a few sizes sure fit most.

- bizzleDawg 10y agoThe plan with wiki-house is that you'll be able to to draw a plan and have software generate the structure for you. A few years ago they were working on a plugin for sketch up to do that - not completely sure what happened to that!
- saeranv 10y agoI remember checking this project out around 2014 and it seemed it was all being done in Sketchup using ruby. Now it looks like it's mainly being done in Grasshopper/Rhino (visual scripting) with some components being done using custom C# or Python scripts. I think its the right move, as Grasshopper/Rhino is a more powerful CAD engine, and has a more useful and extensive ecosystem of plugins for them to develop around.
