Plug Ins

Kiwi Kiwi!3D is a plug-in for Rhino and Grasshopper. Kiwi!3D enables the integration of Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) into the CAD environment and thus creates a smooth and mutual exchange of design and analysis data – one project, one workflow, better results in less time. Lynx4D Lynx4D™ is a plug-in for the 3d modeling tool Rhinoceros® which can help you in the early stages of design. The plugin has a set of solar tools for studying shadow patterns that includes solar diagrams for any area of the world and other features which will come soon. Please, give it a opportunity and tell us where we can improve it. Iris Iris is a Work In Progress file export plugin for Rhino 5 for Windows, Rhino 5 for macOS, and Rhino WIP (Windows and macOS) which generates a JSON document that can be parsed and viewed through WebGL in a modern web browser. Land Kit This is the channel for any questions and suggestions about [Land Kit](parametric landscape design), a new Grasshopper app for parametric landscape design. Procedural Compute This is the channel for any questions and suggestions about Procedural Compute, a building simulation task manager supporting a variety of building performance simulation tools. Frontier Offered as a plug-in for McNeel’s Rhino/Grasshopper, Frontier is a powerful suite of Rhino and Grasshopper tools designed specifically for Additive Manufacturing (AM). Augmenting existing capabilities, Frontier provides users intuitive latticing tools that make innovating with AM remarkably easy while providing superior control and accuracy. Multi-User Discussion about using Rhinoceros with other users at the same time. Geometry Gym Geometry Gym provides OpenBIM software tools and support for Architects, Engineers, and others in the Built Environment. Primarily these tools target project data exchange. Powerful parametric and generative modelling of projects is enabled by utilizing plug-ins for Grasshopper3d and Rhino3d. Generative BIM data exchange is provided using a combination of OpenBIM formats (primarily IFC) and direct API interaction to popular software including Revit, Archicad, Digital Project and Tekla. Structural Analysis models can be exchanged with many popular analysis software. http://www.geometrygym.com Elefront Elefront is a plugin all about managing model data. It allows the user to assign metadata to geometric objects within Rhino, thereby allowing the model to be treated as a sort of database. Elefront also includes components for interacting with blocks, as well as components for filtering geometry by their attributes, layer, geometry type, and so on. XirusCAD This is the support forum for Xirus, a brand-new geometric modeling kernel which provides ‘augmented CAD’: a powerful modeling technology that combines the best of the worlds of NURBS, subdivision, and polygon meshes and adds augmented access to the 3D digital object. Xirus provides decoupled control of tangents, curvature, mixed- and higher order derivatives and enables direct smoothness control in 3D modeling. The WIP will be released on 20. November. Have a look at the tutorial videos at www.mirrakoi.com. Orca3D Orca3D is a marine design plug-in used in the design of monohulls and multihulls of all sizes and shapes, including large commercial and naval ships, fast ferries, sailing and motor yachts, rowing shells, recreational powerboats, dinghies, and more. It has tools for hull design and fairing, intact hydrostatics and stability, speed/power prediction, and weight & cost tracking. The Orca3D Marine CFD module adds a Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) CFD code, with an easy-to-use interface that makes it practical to use without the need to be a CFD specialist. CROSSGEMS This is the forum for the new Jewelry plug-in CROSSGEMS (https://www.food4rhino.com/en/app/crossgems), monitored directly by CrossBytes3D (https://www.crossbytes3d.com/). Plant Editor The AccuRender Plant editor is a stand alone application that allows for the creation of fractal based plant models for Rhino. PolyFrame PolyFrame is a geometry-based, structural form finding plugin for Rhinoceros 3d based on the principle of the equilibrium of polyhedral frames known as 3D graphic statics. PanelingTools PanelingTools supports creating paneling solutions from concept to fabrication… It is a McNeel plug-in that is closely integrated with Rhino and Grasshopper, and is widely used by architectural and other designers. Evolute This is the support forum for EvoluteTools (Lite, PRO and D.LOFT), a versatile paneling, geometry optimization and processing toolkit for freeform surfaces.Monitored by Evolute GmbH (support@evolute.at - www.evolute.at). Lands Design Lands Design is a landscaping plug-in to design outdoor areas, and green spaces. It has 2 versions for AutoCAD& Civil 3D, and for Rhino. Lands Design is ideal for landscape architects, urban planners, town council technicians, designers and draftsmen, environment departments, etc. Gravity Sketch Gravity Sketch is a design platform for cross-disciplinary teams to create, collaborate, and review directly in 3D, from concept sketches through to detailed models. Conveyor Conveyor is a commercial geometry and data management plugin for user-friendly compatibility between Rhino® and Revit® software applications. Conveyor enables you to translate your Rhino geometry into BIM elements without the need for complicated workflows or advanced interfaces. Clayoo Panther3D Panther3D has been replaced by CROSSGEMS (CrossGems | Food4Rhino) and the new forum is CROSSGEMS - McNeel Forum XNurbs
