Frequently asked questions

Does HiFi Architecture Builder work with Blender 4.2 LTS?

HiFi Architecture Builder is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so it runs on current 4.2 installations and later releases. It's built on Blender's extension system and can be added by dragging the downloaded file into Blender or installing it from disk. The add-on requires no special permissions. If you're on an earlier Blender build, you'll need to update to at least 4.2 LTS before installing.

Can I preview and edit structures before generating objects in HiFi Architecture Builder?

HiFi Architecture Builder supports a live preview and lets you edit structures before generating objects, so you can review a layout before it becomes geometry. Once you're set, it generates the objects, and cleanup tools and quick export help you finish and move the result out of Blender. This covers the full path from setting up a structure to exporting it, all within the add-on.

What license is HiFi Architecture Builder released under?

HiFi Architecture Builder is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and it's listed here as free. The GPL is a copyleft open-source license that generally allows use, modification and redistribution under its terms. For the current license text and any usage details, check the developer's page. The add-on also states that it requires no special permissions within Blender.

What was added in HiFi Architecture Builder version 4.5.8?

HiFi Architecture Builder version 4.5.8 adds specific direct extraction formatting for Code Walker (x, y, z) to the Copy Transform clipboard utility. This is the current version, listed at 99.2 KB in size and compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer. For a full list of earlier releases and their changes, the developer's page keeps a version history you can browse.
