New to Grasshopper

I have a question about a project I have to finish this year.
We have an old office building that has to be converted into apartments and some urban functions. Now I would like to work with a alghoritmes. Until now I have divided the building into a grid (buildable area) that can be filled.

I would like to start with a program where you can enter the values (for example, there is a need for 10 student rooms, 20 apartments and 15 studios) so that by means of an algorithm, the grid has to be filled automatically on the basis of some conditions. (eg bedroom to the east, terrace to the south, ...)
What’s the best manner to do this? With grasshopper and Rhino?

I have seen some use of Galapagos (which is Grasshoppers Evolutionary Solver) used to run through different scenarios looking for a best fit scenario. There was a video posted for a floor plan generator you could have a look at to see if this is the sort of thing you're after.

But above all else I advise you to move this to the discussion forum as it might get fewer views here in Bugs and Errors. At the top of the page you will see an options menu as the starter of this discussion.
