How this works

Taking a HUD layout

A layout here is the screenshot plus every import string needed to rebuild it, so you can have somebody's interface in a few minutes instead of an evening.

1. Step 1

   Find a layout

   Filter by role, framework and game. Every entry leads with screenshots taken in game, at the resolution its author plays at, so you are judging the thing itself, not a description of it.

2. Step 2

   Install what it runs on

   Each entry names its addons: ElvUI, WeakAuras, Plater, whatever it uses. Install those first. An import string has nowhere to go without the addon it came from, and this is the step that trips people up.

3. Step 3

   Copy the strings, paste them in

   Every string sits behind a Copy button with its slash command and menu path beside it: /ec → Profiles → Import. They install independently, so you can take the whole setup or just the nameplates.

Rebuilding all of it at once

Copying eight strings into eight config panels is its own evening. Copy all puts the whole setup on your clipboard as a single line; paste that into /whh import and the companion addon hands each string to the addon it belongs to.

Tick only the rows you want before you copy. Pasting is what costs, because a large bundle locks the game up for the better part of a minute, and that is paid before the addon can offer you any choice, which is why the page shows you the size first.

Taking a housing blueprint

Importing needs no addon. Blueprints are a built-in game feature, and the code you copy from an entry is the same thing the game itself hands out. The companion addon is worth having anyway, because it is what puts a full parts list on an entry in the first place.

1. Step 1

   Find a build

   Filter by full layouts, single rooms, interiors and exteriors. Housing is retail-only, but the game version still matters: decor arrives patch by patch, and a build made on a later one lists pieces an older client cannot place.

2. Step 2

   Read the parts list

   Where the author attached one, the entry lists every room, piece of decor, fixture and dye the blueprint places, and what it costs against each budget meter. It turns a screenshot into a shopping list.

3. Step 3

   Copy the code and import it

   A blueprint code is short. It names a build held on Blizzard's servers rather than carrying it. Paste it into the housing editor and the game rebuilds the space.

Where the parts list comes from

A blueprint code is opaque. It names a build on Blizzard's servers and says nothing about what is inside it, so an entry can only tell you what you are getting if its author exported one, either from the dashboard button below or with /whh housing. That is also the only place fixtures, dyes and the house type get named at all, since this site's catalog covers decor and rooms.

So the addon is optional for taking a build and recommended for posting one. The blueprint code rides along inside the same line, which makes it one paste instead of two.

The companion addon

Optional: everything here works without it. It exists because a website cannot read your game and an addon cannot reach a website, so it meets them in the middle and hands you one line of text to carry across.
