Layout5

A mixed-initiative, co-creativity layout generation tool for Rhino/GH, done during the AECTech 2020 Hackathon

Getting Started

Prerequisites:

To get everything working, set up a remote Rhino Compute server on an Amazon AWS EC2 Client. Follow the instructions here: https://github.com/mcneel/compute.rhino3d/blob/master/docs/deploy.md

Install Python on the remote server. Your best shot is Anaconda: https://www.anaconda.com/products/individual#windows

Install the folloiwng packages:

• pyTorch: https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/ conda install pytorch torchvision cudatoolkit=10.2 -c pytorch
• Kornia: https://kornia.github.io/ conda install -c conda-forge kornia (careful here, as the regular pip install kornia won't work with the BYOL we use...)
• umap: https://umap-learn.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ conda install -c conda-forge umap-learn

Make sure you have the following Grasshopper plugins installed (also on the compute server - get them from Food4Rhino):

• cPython
• Ladybug/Honeybee (Legacy version)
• Pufferfish
• Human

Then follow the Appserver set up: https://github.com/mcneel/compute.rhino3d.appserver/blob/main/docs/heroku.md

and you're good to go!! :) ours is here:
