Thank you for reaching out and for your post. While it might seem like a bug, this behavior is actually caused by the random distribution of wall meshes across the building. Fortunately, it can be easily resolved by enabling the “Delete Mesh at Custom Index” option. This setting allows you to remove specific meshes from the random distribution, which will eliminate the overlapping shelter.

That said, we understand this can be confusing, and we’ll work on improving it in an upcoming update. Thanks again for bringing it to our attention!

This thing looks great. Is there any limitations on the number of floors that can be made since i only seen 2 floors or limitations on any other dimensions

Currently, the Building Generator is designed for two-story structures, as the architectural style and procedural logic are optimized around this setup. However, we’re actively working on expanding its functionality, and support for additional floors is planned for upcoming updates.
