Modelur is a SketchUp plugin for parametric urban design. It offers basic tools for quick and effective urban design. In contrast to traditional CAD tools, where the building is described by its width, length and height, Modelur uses parametric approach, in which the building can also be designed by a combination of desired final parameters, [...]
Rhiknowbot is a knowledge-based and component-based parametric modeling technology based on Rhino for constructing detail models of building masses, facades, roofs and other exterior building assemblies. It aims to make 3D modeling easy for users in all levels of familiarities with digital modeling. It helps designers efficiently explore design variations with very little manual operations [...]
ParaCloud released version 1.0 of GEM, a simple to use design tool for components population. The software is able to populate mesh components over design models resulting in compex 3D models (e.g. a facade or a roof structure). ParaCloud Gem works with SketchUP Pro, TopMod, Rhino3D, Cinema 4D, 3DS Max, Maya, AutoCAD or any 3D [...]
Led by Peter Trummer and assisted by Martin Sobota a research group at the Berlage Institute investigated traditional chinese building typologies. Several teams focused each on different base parameters as FAR, degrees of privacy, climate, internal room organisation, sun trajectories. The principles found in the analysis were used to create a set of rules to [...]
Autodesk Ecotect Solar Analysis data can be imported into ParaCloud Modeler and converted as solar numeric matrix. The matrix data can be used as a population matrix or as driving parameters values. On the ParaCloud Community Blog you can find a tutorial that covers the following subjects: Importing surface from ParaCloud into Ecotect Exporting Ecotect [...]
If Rhino, AutoCAD, Revit and 3ds Max are part of your work flow you will find some great video tutorials on this website: designreform.net These direct links lead you to two of many excellent screencasts: Learn how to link complex organic geometry that was modeled in Rhino into Revit as a mass element This one [...]
