Hi @JQL ,
Thanks for reaching out! It’s fantastic to see your interest and all these great questions. Let me go through them one by one to give you as much clarity as possible.
Yes, we support mixed-use buildings by allowing you to stack building blocks. This method also keep calculations of Built-up Area and FAR accurate.
By Q1 2025, we’ll also introduce a dedicated “Mixed-Use Building” type, enabling you to set total building height, respect building blocks land use ratio, and other parameters within each Mixed-use building.
You can find the process for this specific mixed use building (pictures below) from the video

I hope this answer the question from @AnnoNiem about Mixed-use Building too.
Currently, this feature isn’t available, but we’re actively developing it as part of our topography and terrain function, targeted for release in the first half of 2025.
To model underground floors, you can place a building block assigned with the “Parking Lot” land use underground. While counting total floors is not yet supported, this functionality will be available with the upcoming Mixed-Use Building type.
Yes, each building block has its own set of parameters, so you can set unique building height, land use, and others.
For integrating parametric roads with existing, non-parametric CAD roads, you have a couple of options. You can either explode the existing parametric roads near the boundary and manually model connection nodes, or convert CAD roads surrounding your project boundary into parametric roads using our Build Along function, which will automatically creates the connection nodes.
Your project looks fantastic! Rest assured, topography functions are a top priority for us, and we’re committed to release it soon.
Let me know if you have any more questions or need further assistance.
