Below an exploration of a semi-manual modeling mode (part of my ongoing PhD research) that uses Kangaroo within #grasshopper3d to maintain the building footprint polygon within the boundaries of a plot and close to the covered area allowed by the Greek building code (NOK). Tying this polygon to procedural extrusion and set-back defining algorithms allows the direct generation of compliant massing geometries in a given plot.
The online Generative building design platforms I have seen so far either provide full-building massings without customizable dimensions or allow manual gestures to go way beyond allowed code limits, leading to unrealistic designs. (If there's an auto code-check feature in any of the public platforms let me know). Possibly the demonstrated interaction can be an interesting alternative.
