In this video, we adjust a building's unit mix to match project targets using Skema’s drag-and-drop tools. Watch as we modify unit layouts, balance the King-Queen ratio, and update the floor plan in real time. Skema streamlines changes across all floors, instantly updating metrics and eliminating the need for external spreadsheets. See how easy it is to experiment with options and keep your data accurate.

So now that we have our whole building sort of  defined and outlined why don't we check our key  

figures out see how close we got um to the targets  you were looking for so as a reminder it was 275  

and we're looking for 30% King and 70% Queen Alex  how'd you do close on the unit count not too close  

on the unit mix however all right so yeah we can  see that we got 280 units but we're about a 5050  

split I it's interesting that we ended up even  uh well how easy is it to change it what should  

we do to try to get our option more closely can  you talk us through that yeah so one thing I can  

do is I can save this option or I can go back  into this option and let's just make a change  

to this layout and again keep in mind in this  specific example this one layout is applied to  

every floor so this will make changes to every  floor in the tower itself but I can just go into  

my floor plan and again kind of work through that  process again of dragging and dropping units now  

I had too many kings and not enough Queens  so maybe I'll go in and let's delete two of  

these King units and how about I just drag in a  standard single queen unit into my layout again  

we'll use the unit layout editing tools rotate  this I can just quickly mirror it snap it into  

place and then let's copy this again go in make a  copy of this unit itself so now I have two units  

and here I can see while I'm already operating in  my floor plan I can see if I'm mixing and matching  

my units to be a little bit more accurate maybe  I want to just copy over one more single queen  

unit as well while I'm at it and now I see that  I'm getting a little bit closer to my unit mix  

however I do need to alter some of these morphed  units again this was kind of the last process  

in the workflow let's get our standard units in  and then let's edit our morphed units and I can  

easily go back in and do that so what how about  I'll just clear this unit go into this massing  

very simply just resize it and realign it to fit  this new layout and again let's just remorph it

and now I'm getting a little bit closer of a  unit mix how about I hit save and you can see  

every floor within my tower has now been aligned  has now been formatted with this new layout let's  

exit out and now let's see what we have with  our unit mixed summary a little bit more units  

than anticipated but a little bit closer to that  unit mix and to that proforma which is great and  

so hopefully you can see through this process  how easy it is to make different options play  

with different studies be able to drag in and make  changes as you go and see all of your data update  

in real time it eliminates sort of the idea of  let's have a side Excel spreadsheet that every  

someone has to manually go in and check this lets  it really be tracked live and correlated to each  

option so you can really trust those metrics  as you're presenting them back to the owner
