Getting Started

HYWE is a deterministic spatial logic platform. You do not draw shapes,instead, you declare relationships and the engine computes spatial configurations.

Interactive Node Tree

The Interactive Node Tree is where you build the programmatic logic of your layout by abstractly declaring your architectural hierarchy.

• Input: Dive deep into how to use the Interactive Tree, toggle to the Lexel Code View, trigger the Hyweave layout generator, sweep through Alternate Configurations, and use the Waggle Exchange.

2. The Output & Tool Sections (Lower Half)

The lower half of the screen contains dedicated tabs for constraining, visualizing, and analyzing your generated spatial layout.

• Boundary: Define the rigid, outer constraints (property lines, keep-out zones) that your layout must conform to.
• Layout: Read the live, computed spatial canvas (Xyxel floorplans and Zaxel massing). Watch how spaces automatically reflow and reorganize to maintain adjacency constraints.
• Analysis: Evaluate the organizational efficiency and performance of your generated topologies.
• Batch: Simultaneously compute and evaluate all 24 deterministic topological sequences to find the most successful spatial permutations. (See Hygrid).
• Teach: Generate spatial intent narratives, apply descriptive tags, and commit your layouts to the architectural training dataset.
• Report: View the exact geometric area calculations and adjacency matrices extracted from the grid.

Your First Layout

Once you've familiarized yourself with the interface guides above, try building a simple programmatic layout:

1. Basic Organizational Input: Go to the Input section and define relational syntax for functional zones. For example:

   (1/15/Foyer)
   (2/20/Living)
   (3/18/Dining)
   

2. Hierarchical Expansion: Introduce nested relationships to group spaces inside a parent boundary:

   (3.1/12/Kitchen)
   (3.1.1/6/Utility)
   

3. Boundary Interpretation: Switch to the Boundary tab to draw your site constraints or footprint limits.
4. Spatial Review: Click the Hyweave button and switch to the Layout tab to watch your spatial topology evolve. Review the generated topology, adjacency, and organizational flow.
5. Sequence Exploration: Use the Alternate Configurations Slider (next to the Hyweave button) to instantly sweep through the 24 different sequence variations of your exact same program!
