Can I make a 1:12 or 1:24 dollhouse with Houscaper?
Not exactly. Houscaper offers 1:20, 1:30, 1:50, 1:60, and 1:70, so there is no 1:12 and no 1:24 setting. The closest to 1:24 is 1:20, which makes everything about 20% larger than 1:24. 1:12 dollhouse scale is not supported.

Module size at dollhouse scales
| Scale | Module size | In Houscaper | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1:12 | 75 mm | No | Not offered: parts would be too large for thin stock and desktop sheets |
| 1:20 | 45 mm | Yes | Offered |
| 1:24 | 37.5 mm | No | Not offered: use 1:20 (about 20% larger) instead |
| 1:30 | 30 mm | Yes | Offered (default) |
If you want 1:24 furniture to fit
Build at 1:20. A 900 mm module becomes a 45 mm tile instead of the 37.5 mm it would be at 1:24, so 1:24 furniture fits with some room to spare, and doors and windows read slightly large.
Why there is no 1:12
Houscaper is built for small laser-cut miniatures and diorama buildings on thin 1 mm, 2 mm and 3.2 mm stock, laid out on sheets up to 600 × 400 mm. At 1:12 one module would be 75 mm, so even a small house would need large sheets and thicker board than the joints are designed for.
Open the Houscaper workshop and set these options in Export. The full walkthrough is in the laser-cut dollhouse guide.
