1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, enable a graphical user interface to be displayed, wherein the graphical user interface displays information related to room plan generation on a display device, the graphical user interface comprising:

a results window that displays:

a selectable list of generated room plan configuration variants divided into possible room plans and violating room plans, wherein the room plan configuration variants are variations of the same room plan, wherein the selectable list of generated room plan configuration variants comprises a matrix of rows and columns that include numeric values at the intersections of the rows and columns, wherein each column corresponds to a different room plan specification and wherein an entry in the selectable list of generated room plan configuration variants comprises a row in the matrix, the row in the matrix including the numeric values at the intersection of the row in the matrix and each column in the matrix;

a rule violations indicator that displays at least one violated generation rule when a violating room plan is selected from the displayed list of generated room plan configuration variants; and

a room datasheet generation button; and

a visualization window that displays at least one generated room plan configuration variant from the list of generated room plan configuration variants;

wherein selection of an entry in the selectable list of generated room plan configuration variants by a user causes a corresponding room plan configuration to be displayed in the visualization window;

wherein the selectable list of generated room plan configuration variants, the rule violations indicator, and the room datasheet generation button are displayed simultaneously with the at least one generated room plan configuration variant that is displayed in the visualization window.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the visualization window displays visualizations of multiple possible room plans from the list of displayed generated room plan configuration variants.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the visualization window displays the visualization of a single selected generated room plan configuration variant from the displayed list of generated room plan configuration variants.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the results window simultaneously displays:

a design rules tab that, when selected by a user, displays a room layout section and a room components section, wherein the room layout section displays at least one mutable field that indicates specifications of an ideal example room plan on which the generated room plan configuration variants are based; and

a solutions tab that, when selected by a user, displays the selectable list of generated room plan configuration variants;

wherein the user is able to toggle between the room layout section and the room components section corresponding to the design rules tab and the selectable list of generated room plan configuration variants corresponding to the solutions tab by selecting either the design rules tab or the solutions tab.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 4 , wherein the room components section displays at least one text box that corresponds to a room component added to an ideal example room plan on which the generated room plan configuration variants are based.

6. A computer-implemented method for displaying information related to room plan generation on a display device, the computer-implemented method comprising:

displaying a results window that displays:

a selectable list of generated room plan configuration variants divided into possible room plans and violating room plans, wherein the room plan configuration variants are variations of the same room plan, wherein the selectable list of generated room plan configuration variants comprises a matrix of rows and columns that include numeric values at the intersections of the rows and columns, wherein each column corresponds to a different room plan specification and wherein an entry in the selectable list of generated room plan configuration variants comprises a row in the matrix, the row in the matrix including the numeric values at the intersection of the row in the matrix and each column in the matrix;

a rule violations indicator that displays at least one violated generation rule when a violating room plan is selected from the displayed list of generated room plan configuration variants; and

a room datasheet generation button; and

displaying a visualization window that displays at least one generated room plan configuration variant from the list of generated room plan configuration variants;

wherein selection of an entry in the selectable list of generated room plan configuration variants by a user causes a corresponding room plan configuration to be displayed in the visualization window;

wherein the selectable list of generated room plan configuration variants, the rule violations indicator, and the room datasheet generation button are displayed simultaneously with the at least one generated room plan configuration variant that is displayed in the visualization window.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , wherein displaying the visualization window displays visualizations of multiple possible room plans from the list of displayed generated room plan configuration variants.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , wherein displaying the visualization window displays the visualization of a single selected generated room plan configuration variant from the displayed list of generated room plan configuration variants.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , wherein displaying the results window comprises simultaneously:

displaying a design rules tab that, when selected by a user, displays a room layout section and a room components section, wherein the room layout section displays at least one mutable field that indicates specifications of an ideal example room plan on which the generated room plan configuration variants are based; and

displaying a solutions tab that, when selected by a user, displays the selectable list of generated room plan configuration variants;

wherein the user is able to toggle between the room layout section and the room components section corresponding to the design rules tab and the selectable list of generated room plan configuration variants corresponding to the solutions tab by selecting either the design rules tab or the solutions tab.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , wherein the room components section displays at least one text box that corresponds to a room component added to an ideal example room plan on which the generated room plan configuration variants are based.
