Ecotect Mesh Data to Rhino
December 18, 2008 in 3D Modelling, Architecture, Building Performance Analysis, Design
Tags: Ecotect, Generative Design, Performance Driven Geometry, Rhino, Scripting, Solar Analysis, Tutorial
Ted Ngai has posted many interesting RhinoScript and Grasshopper examples on his blog atelier nGai. Especially worth mentioning are two tutorials that experiment with a generative approach using Ecotect solar simulation data to drive the creation of geometry in Rhino. In this instance solar access data was used to determine the size of skylights in a roof based on their orientation.
