🔼 Grasshopper 0.9.0075

🛠️ C# Component

 
 

This C# Component for Grasshopper is a simple stripped-down tool that takes an analysis from Ecotect and extracts the relevant information into numerical values that can be read by Grasshopper. It begins by taking the data output in CSV format from a Solar Access Analysis and interprets the output file format into its component parts, center point, surface normal, and returned value. Additionally the data type, “type of analysis” is output as text as well as the units used for the value set. The data, if properly coordinated can then be used to program any associated geometry. The input is simply a file path function pointed towards the output CSV file. A sample CSV file has been attached.
