Use Rhino Scripts to Automate Processes
Pollination Rhino plugin is based on a series of custom libraries that it is possible to use to create scripts. E.g. I would like to override all current glass material of the apertures with a custom one with just one click. A script could do that fast.
Example files that used in the video are available from: https://github.com/pollination/pollination-rhino-scripts
One of the easiest ways to create a Pollination Rhino script is ironpython of Rhino.
Rhino has an internal IDE to write ironpython. Type the command **EditPythonScript **on the command bar of Rhino to open it.
Rhino Python Editor
Or it is possible to use external IDE to create it.
The first step is import modules and sub-modules that contain the useful classes
# import rhinocommon
import Rhino
import System
# import pollination part
import clr
clr.AddReference('Pollination.Core.dll')
clr.AddReference('HoneybeeSchema.dll')
import HoneybeeSchema as hb # Honeybee Schema
import Core as po # Pollination classes
- HoneybeeSchema.dll contains the schema that Pollination rhino uses
- Pollination.Core.dll contains following sub-modules:
- Objects: Pollination Rhino Runtime Objects (RoomObject, OrphanedFaceObject, ApertureObject, DoorObject, ShadeObject, SensorGridObject, ViewObject)
- Entity: It contains ModelEntity which collects on runtime all Pollination Object which the model is made
- Data: Honeybee Schema data that every Pollination Object contains. E.g. RoomObject is composed by RoomData through Data Property
