Rhino Plug-In as WebApp?

Hey guys,

I am developing a Rhino-Plug-In for my Final Term Project and I was wondering if there would be any way to get that PlugIn running on the web (with an affordable effort) to get sth like this:

The PlugIn is basically about to enable the User to select a building envelope and some parameters through a dashbaoard (WinForms at the moment).
Based on that decisions it then gives feedback on special values (like embodied Carbon, costs, …)
that are generated through database queries.

Could that be a possible use case for Rhino.Compute?

The PlugIn is developed in C#; I have some advanced knowledge with the Rhino Commmon API but not in web development.

Thank you very much and all the best,

Niklas

Hi @haschke.niklas. I’m looking for something similar to your mockup for web sharing with my collegaues some projects solutions. I’ve found platforms for 3d model sharing (from grasshopper files with custom parameters), but nothing with data sharing and graphs builders inside of them. I think I’ll develope something custom for the graphs part, and maybe using the triceratops plugin for the three.js model construction.
Are you still interested in this?

Rhino.Compute has developed a lot since the original post. to get a plugin registered with compute, please follow this guide: Rhino - Extending Compute with Custom Endpoints

Custom logic with three.js for geometry and chart.js for graphs/ dashboard

I would also give Speckle a try - should do all you want
