COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN / ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS / SCRIPTS
Tools for making informed design decisions.
Grasshopper scripts and digital tools developed through Philipp Nedomlel’s work in computational design and environmental analysis. Explore geometry, daylight, sunlight, wind and outdoor comfort workflows.
Each script links to its Payhip listing for current pricing, full software requirements, licence details and downloads. Check the listed versions and dependencies before purchasing.
Geometry and terrain
Buildup Depth Visualizer 1.0.0
Rhino 8 / Grasshopper · No plugins required
Measure the distance between a finish surface and the structure below, then map buildup depth into editable colour bands.
Elevation Analysis
Rhino + Grasshopper · Rhino 7+ recommended
Create colour-banded height maps from Rhino geometry, control mesh detail and bake the result for diagrams and presentations.
Slope Analysis
Rhino 8 / Grasshopper · No plugins required
Map terrain and surface slopes using adjustable degree or ratio thresholds, with custom colours and optional mesh smoothing.
Sunlight and daylight
Annual Irradiance Study
Honeybee / Ladybug Tools 1.9 · Grasshopper
Explore annual irradiance in a single room using a structured Honeybee setup and an example glass modifier. An educational resource.
Annual Daylight Study
Honeybee 1.8 · Radiance required
Study a single room’s daylight performance with adjustable window-to-wall ratios, occupancy schedules and daylight metrics.
Solar Incident Radiation
Ladybug Tools 1.8 · Radiance required
Calculate incident solar radiation with an annotated Grasshopper workflow for solar analysis and environmental design.
Direct Sun Hours 2.0.0
Rhino 8 / Grasshopper 1 · Ladybug Tools 1.10
Visualise direct sunlight across a surface over a selected period, including surrounding buildings, trees and other shading geometry.
Wind and outdoor comfort
Data Driven Wind Rose 1.0
Ladybug Tools 1.8 · Tested with Rhino 8
Turn weather data into three wind-rose variants, with a selectable study period and filters for clear climate analysis.
Butterfly CFD Outdoor Wind
Butterfly / Ladybug Tools 1.8 · Tested with Rhino 7 / 8
Set up an outdoor airflow study through an annotated workflow covering geometry, meshing, simulation and vector results. Check solver requirements on Payhip.
Outdoor Comfort UTCI 2.0.0
Rhino 8 / Grasshopper 1 · Ladybug Tools 1.10
Map outdoor thermal comfort using weather data, site geometry and solar exposure, with adjustable study periods and hot/cold thresholds.
