This is a developing Grasshopper plugin for architectural designers. It has many useful tools to tackle different design tasks at various stages of architectural/urban/interior design. 
There are two main developing directions:

  • One-click tools for designers who don't usually do parametric design works. The tools related to massing manipulation and building populating will make your life easier.
  • Data manipulation tools for advanced Grasshopper players who want their canvas more legible and clean. These components usually don't do things that Grasshopper official components cannot achieve, but simplify (significantly) the labor work you have to do.
