Chat (Beta)
The Chat panel is available in every project. It opens automatically in new projects with starting points like "Define a space program" and "Create your first building." Describe what you want in plain language and Hypar's assistant can act directly in your model: create and reshape spaces, generate circulation, place components, import programs, create design options, tidy layouts, measure, and more.
- Dimension a plan in one go. Ask for "dimension this plan" or "dimension Level 1" and Hypar reads the real walls and gridlines and lays a chained dimension string along each exterior face of the building, placed outside the footprint in tiers: wall faces, the column grid, and the overall span. Ask for less when you want less. "Just the building size" gives you the overall span alone, and you can ask for grid and overall dimensions without the wall faces.
- Attach files (images, spreadsheets) to give the assistant context.
- Everything the assistant does is undoable with Ctrl/Cmd+Z, like your own edits.
- Long chats: Hypar warns as a conversation fills up and offers Summarize & new to carry context into a fresh chat.
Layout suggestions
Hypar proposes furnished layouts for spaces:
- Suggestions show what you'd get (desk, seat, and bed counts) before you accept.
- Choose Expand space (grow the space to fit the layout) or Fit to space (adapt the layout to current dimensions).
- Accept suggestion to commit, or dismiss.
Use them while blocking: even at the blocking-plan stage, flipping through layout suggestions is a fast sanity check that a room size can actually hold what you need ("can this meeting room really seat 14?") before you commit to the plan.
Names drive suggestions. Accepting a layout names the space after it, and it works the other way too: rename a space "Exam Room" or "Meeting" and tailored layouts appear.
Suggestions are size-aware. Expand a meeting room and new, larger layouts appear. They also learn from you: rooms you've laid out (or pasted in from a library project) show up as future suggestions, and swapping in a different desk and chair rebuilds desk suggestions around your choice.
Desk layouts. Name a space "Open Office" for desk suggestions. Then select all desks (multi-select tool or Shift+box-select) and set exact back-to-back and aisle spacing: type dimensions or drag the dotted-line handle.
Where do suggestions come from? Suggestions come from Hypar's built-in layouts, your own libraries (marked with a library icon), and layouts already in your project.
