Filter
Use filters to quickly narrow down your results based on specific design or team-related criteria.
Like
When clicked, this filter displays only the solutions that are tagged as "Liked" by the user — ideal for shortlisting preferred building layouts or design concepts during early-stage evaluations.

Creator
Allows users to display only the solutions created by a specific team member. If a project has three or more creators, users can select multiple creators to view only the solutions created by those selected individuals.

More Filter
The More Filter feature enables users to refine their feasibility study results by inputting key building and site parameters:
• Search by Solution ID – Allows users to locate a specific solution by entering its unique project ID.

• Floor Area Ratio (FAR) – Enables filtering of solutions based on a targeted FAR range, supporting land use optimization.
• Unit Count – Lets users input a minimum and maximum unit count to match housing density goals.
• Stories – Allows filtering based on the number of floors in the proposed building.
• Gross Floor Area (GFA) – Lets users set the desired GFA range to align with zoning or project size constraints.
Users can click the Reset button to clear all inputs and hit Show Solutions to apply the active filters.
