Welcome back! I'll be using this indiscriminantMaking blog (previously used for SmartSurfaces) to post my new developments using Grasshopper.

Program Bldr is a tool for automating the creation of Rhino shapes to be used for space planning/schematic design. Using an excel file with space names, sq footage, dimensions, and department names, it automatically draws the spaces and labels them with room name and square footage.
The Room Solvers optimizes the number of rooms along a wall given specific criteria, such as sq footage and desired room width. It uses Galapagos, an Evolutionary Solver, to determine the best solution. This application of the solver is not the most useful, but it provides a starting point for future work.
WINDOW MAKR
The following tools were developed for use in schematic design, particularly in modeling elements for conceptual models of buildings. The first such example is the Window Maker which automates the creation of rectangular windows in Rhino. It automatically assigns the materials (such as glass, aluminum, and a facade material) to each respective layers.WindowMakerClements from Branden Clements on Vimeo.
