Ladybug Tools / Spider: Latest Issues
Ladybug Tools / Spider gbXML Tools: Latest Issues
Ladybug Tools / Spider gbXML Fixer: Latest Issues
Spider gbXML Viewer is embedded in latest release of OpenStudio. See the Ladybug Tools forum for details.
The code for the OpenStudio edition is maintained in a new repository: Spider gbXML Tools. This code is simpler, faster and better than the current releases.
So have a look at Spider gbXML Viewer Basic and all the modules in the Cookbook. These scripts will be the basis for future release of the Viewer.
gbXML.org held a webinar for the 'Aragog' gbXML Viewer on Tuesday, May 8 2018.
- Moderator: Stephen Roth
- Presenters Chris Mackay and Michal Dengusiak
Invitation: https://conta.cc/2H7ex7f
YouTube Video: gbXML Viewer ~ User Guide
- Michal's and Michalina's must watch video on Spider gbXML Viewer
- Tania Becker: 'Fascinating video. It's well explained and easy to understand even for a lay person. It sparkles!'
The purpose of the Spider web presence is still a work-in-progress.
The main issue is that much of the currently available software for carrying out building visualization and analysis is expensive, hardwired and not easily accessible.
Solutions to these issues might include:
Provide free, simple, easy-to access tools to enable analysis of building outcomes earlier in the design process - or even as a stimulator of the design process
Offer easy-to-read code written so that designers and engineers may monitor, verify and enhance the efforts - and, yes, full stack developers are welcome too.
Enable just-in-time custom solutions. Every building is both unique and standards-adherent. The visualization and analysis tools should be the same.
Things we seem to be doing include:
- Displaying gbXML files in 3D
- See gbXML Viewer
- See gbXML User Guide
- Create new gbXML files and view these in 3D
- See Build Well
- Displaying EPW files in 3D
- Displaying solar calculations in 3D
- Displaying large complex data sets in 3D
- See NURBS Chart
- See Scatter Well
- Displaying fun hot stuff in 3D
Life here on Earth is quite amazing and enjoyable. We'd like to help make Earth even cooler.
