Rhino or standalone ? #2

Open BogdanChipara opened 4 years ago

Hi, Interesting plugin. Much more user friendly than Ladybug. It would be nice to have it as Rhino plugin or as a stand-alone software. Any plans in this direction?

Regards

No, this project is pretty much unmaintained at this point. I don't even know what Rhino is.

Rhino is used a lot in architecture. It comes with the visual programming interface called grasshopper used for parametric design. Website here: https://www.rhino3d.com/ Plugins page: https://www.food4rhino.com/ And Ladybug is the plugin for radiation analysis used inside grasshopper: https://www.ladybug.tools/

I use ladybug but it's not so userfriendly and it has dependencies. I could also see your software running online. Users upload the 3d geometry and they get the sun exposure mesh back...
