Image Setting component improved – multiple views supported, ability to provide custom file names added (for experts only!).Parameter component improved – transitioned to dynamic inputs, generalized so that the component can be used to describe either design inputs or design performance data for the Aggregator to consume.Selection component added – allows for more control over partial design space runs users can specify granularity along any input vector, or can choose to run only a part of the design space (only run the first 100 iterations, for example), or both.

Iterator component improved – transitioned to dynamic inputs, sliders / drop-downs / panels all supported as inputs, context menu to specify how to deal with warnings, selection broken out into separate component, ‘Fly’ button included as part of component UI – no more need for a button.

Many new features have been added to make it easier to turn your Grasshopper definition into a Design Explorer – compatible design space. Similar to our January 2017 release, the main attraction in this release is Colibri.

Please let us know what you think! We sincerely hope you’ll enjoy working with Colibri and Design Explorer.CORE studio is pleased to announce the release of TT Toolbox version 1.9, our suite of free and open source plugins for Grasshopper, which is available on Food4Rhino.

The YouTube video above demonstrates how to get started with Colibri, and you can download the plugin from Food4Rhino. Instead of reinstating one iteration at a time in Grasshopper, groups of iterations that fit a set of specific performance criteria (something like ‘show me all iterations that are highly performant and that have a bay spacing greater than X and a floor height smaller than Y’, for example) can easily be identified using Design Explorer. This workflow allows designers to navigate within the focused design spaces that those algorithms produce using Design Explorer. By connecting the ‘Colibri Inputs’ component to the same sliders that Galapagos / Octopus is driving, the Aggregator is able to record every iteration during an optimization run. It gathers the inputs from the Iterator, the outputs (performance metrics) from your grasshopper definition, and takes care of generating images, naming images and Spectacles files, and writing all of that data into a data.csv file.Īnother application for the Aggregator is to record optimization runs with Galapagos or Octopus. While the Iterator is iterating away upstream, the Aggregator component collects all of the data that Design Explorer needs from your Grasshopper definition. Colibri provides a component for each stage, the Iterator and the Aggregator. The Colibri workflow is divided into two stages, Iteration and Aggregation. It should be easy to jump into Design Explorer! If all of that sounds like complete nonsense (or if it makes sense but sounds painful), we are with you, and that’s precisely why we built Colibri. Because Fly and Brute Force hit every step on every slider, users’ sliders often had to be edited to fine tune the size and resolution of the design space. Images and Spectacles models were up to the user to generate, name, and link into the. Users would rely on Ladybug’s ‘Fly’ component or our ‘ Brute Force’ component to iterate over some sliders in their grasshopper definition, and use a bunch of data recorders and an Excel Writer to create a data.csv file in the right format. This has been possible to do for some time now of course, but it was super painful to set up and was generally quite error-prone. The project’s goal is simple: make it easy to generate Design Explorer-compatible data sets in Grasshopper. CORE studio forked the project after the hackathon, and we’ve been improving and testing Colibri over the past few weeks in anticipation of this release. It was designed and prototyped over the course of 27 hours during the hackathon by a team of dedicated hackers (most of whom work for TT!). Run Colibri in Grasshopper, upload to Google Drive, and voila: your design space in Design Explorer!Ĭolibri is an open source project that was started at the 2016 AEC Technology Hackathon in New York, which CORE studio hosted late last year.
