** Important Note: For the latest versions of LunchBox, use the versions available on the Rhino Package Manager**

LunchBox is a plug-in for Grasshopper for exploring mathematical shapes, paneling, structures, and data management.  LunchBox also includes a set of machine learning components that are an implementation of ML.NET and Accord.NET frameworks - including regression, clustering, and classification algorithms.

Available components include....

• Data:  Components for dataset management, XML, and JSON formats
• Generate: Components for cool generative geometry.
• Math:  Create parametric surfaces and forms such as the Mobius, Klein, or 3D Supershape 
• Panels:  Create paneling systems such as quad grids, diamonds, or triangles.
• Structure:  Create wire structures such as diagrids or space trusses.
• Utility:  Geometry utiltiies, sorters, R-tree searches
• Workflow: Read and write Excel files, layer management, and automate baking and saving.

As of V2 LunchBox's Machine learning tools are now located under a new LunchBoxML tab in Grasshopper and includes:

• NEW Microsoft ML.NET trainers, algorithms, and tester components
• Data management components for preparing training data
• Legacy Accord.NET trainers and testers

I hope the tool is as helpful to you as it is to me in the design process!

To install:

• Run the "PackageManager" command in Rhino 7 or 8
• Search for LunchBox and install
• Alternative (older) downloads are available below.

Requirements:

• Rhinoceros 7 or 8 with Grasshopper
• Windows

* Nominal testing has been performed on Rhino 8 for Mac. The latest version of LunchBox is built against .NET 7 and can be installed on Mac through the Package manager. Note that some components may not function if they are using Windows-specific functionality.
