While technically it could be done as far as I am aware of, I'd wager it might look odd on any other area of the land that is not nearly 100% flat.
First approach in modeling a building - further information much appreciated.

Ah now that's a good point! What does happen about sizing? I had been under the impression the largest lot size would be 4x4 and the smallest 1x1, and that our houses could appear on any lot. How does the game deal with relative size of imported housing asset and potential zoning size?
And can you cut all 16 tiles that way ?? (so you have only the borders left ?)
When you import the building and prop it in the asset editor you also choose the lot size for it. So, you can make a 1x1 cell sized building and still set the lot to be the whole 4x4 cells. So, basically each building that is created will have the lot size defined by the creator. This means you can also create several different versions of the same building with varying lot sizes if the building fits the different lots between 1x1 and 4x4 and each of them is required to be individually adjusted, as if you were creating multiple different custom buildings.
Yes, although I haven't tried to do it myself since there has been no need to do so, so I can't say what the end result is going to look like or if it will work as intended.
Can we also specify how many households the asset can be home to? It occurs to me I could make a small row of terraced houses looking like they were 8 seperate houses, but actually just one lot, housing 8 households. Although I guess I'd have to say 4 households because of the density scaling?
You can't directly affect the amount of cims living in a particular house from the asset editor but I suppose it is possible through a mod, as far as I know. The formula to calculate the amount of people has to do with the cell amount and other factors if I'm not mistaken (but don't quote me on that!).
I don't understand how it will work at all then... but I guess it will make more sense the day I lay my hands on it. :laugh:
BTW I remember seeing a post with much technical info about number of faces, different maps, uv's etc etc... wouldn't it be good to have a sticky in this section with all the tech and info grouped ?? (like the info you gave me about holes in the lot and so...) :happy:

excuse me - i make this , but the question , and now ?
You'll have to unwrap the uv to texture it. Google for tutorials.
Oh there is one thing I don't remember reading - how do we indicate which side of the house is meant to face the road?
Perhaps but I don't think I have the correct rights to make any post a sticky. But if someone can gather all the data from my reddit post and from the original modding info post someone made here on the forums from the initial tips I gave on reddit then perhaps someone with the proper rights can make it a sticky.
The front of the building is on the Y-axis but there is a change to rotate the building once you have imported it into the asset editor. And you can always rotate a finished building in the 3D software. You just need to reset the rotation of the building's pivot after you have rotated the building and then remember to once again rotate the pivot (not the building) 90 degrees on the X-axis or the building will appear laying on its side in the game.

Quite possibly...
