RHIKNOWBOT is an automated design modelling program for built environments. Its applications are including but not limited to architecture, landscape and city planning.
RHIKNOWBOT aims to provide the mechanism for designers to draw in 2D and automatedly transforming it into 3D digital models that can be easily re-modified or manipulated in case of any changes.
RHIKNOWBOT is also a knowledge-based and component-based parametric modelling technology for constructing detailed models and helps designers efficiently explore design variations as well as store and accumulate design knowledge in digital formats.
RHIKNOWBOT offers unique technologies on massing constructs that allows instantaneous and intuitive interaction with key data sets of the projects.
RHIKNOWBOT aims to provide a one-stop modelling solution, reducing the needs of switching between various different programs.
Key Functions:
- City: An automated and convenient tool for city road and building block constructs in 3D. Extremely fast and efficient.
- Massing: A comprehensive and parametric tool for massing constructs. Accurate, parametric, and interactive.
- 2D to 3D Projection: Seemingly like a reversed “Perspective Machine”, boosts designers’ imagination in 2D and automatically projects such 2D formal data onto 3D design surfaces to realize the design in 3D. Intuitive and designer friendly.
- Detailed Components: The most efficient and convenient way to define, apply and modify detailed components and store design experiences in digital library.
- Parametric Design: The simplest way to design parametrically, with Interference, randomize and 2D patterning and more.
- 2D and 3D Diagram: A unique tool on drawing analytical diagrams in both 2D and 3D environment.
- Quick Render: A quick and convenient tool for making renderings with embedded material selections and environment settings.
- Creative Booklet: An interactive and creative tool in laying out design panels in both 2D and 3D environment.
