How to Build Blank Plot Custom Build

Construction uses the same placement toolkit as furniture — place, move, resize, rotate, recolor, and an ignore-collisions mode — applied to architectural blocks. Start from one box volume and grow: a single-story box with door and window cutouts is a complete home; every additional box is another room or floor.

Default blocks are white, which gives your build the Dorfic gallery look for free and keeps lighting honest — white surfaces show off the game's real-time lighting and make photo-mode bloom presets read cleanly. You can reskin every surface later; starting white is not a commitment.

Ignoring collisions is how mezzanines, wall-mounted decor and tight staircase nooks get built — pieces occupy the same space on purpose. The cost is visual: overlapping geometry can z-fight or clip in screenshots. Use collision-free placement for the assembly pass, then separate anything that visibly intersects.

Decide the build's one-line brief before placing the first block: "white loft with an aquarium wall", "Eco cabin ringed by plants", "office tower lobby". A blank plot with no brief grows into an unsalvageable layout by room six; a one-line brief survives the whole build.

• Block out the footprint: one box per room, sized generously — resizing walls later is cheaper than cramming furniture now.
• Cut doors and windows, orient window walls toward the view or the sun.
• Walk the empty shell before decorating: if the walk feels wrong empty, furniture will not fix it.
• Decorate room by room, anchor piece first — the same loop as the preset houses.
• Photo pass at the end; fix the two worst frames instead of rebuilding.

Custom builds are where co-op earns its keep: one player blocks out volumes while another sources and stages furniture, and room-by-room ownership keeps two builders from fighting the same corner. The room code stays open while you build, so friends can drop in and out of a session.
