BuildingGen Panel (unit mode)
The BuildingGen panel offers a range of unit components and tools to help you select building parts that may be difficult to directly select from the viewport. It also enables customization of the selected building parts using external assets.
Unit Settings
The Unit Settings section displays various building parts for selection, making it easier to see the available components within chosen units. This feature is particularly useful for editing internal parts of the building that are often occluded and challenging to modify directly via the viewport.
