Grasshopper & GIS & Excel Interoperability
What you'll learn
- Understand how to organize CAD files received from other consultants
- Learn how to automatically add new layers in Rhino with a click of a button
- Learn how to assign several geometries into new individual layers automatically with a click of a button
- Extracting Areas from specific layers and integrating them into ExcelUnderstand the smart interoperability process between Grasshopper <> Excel <> GIS
- Understand the smart interoperability process between Grasshopper <> Excel <> GIS
Requirements
- A basic knowledge in Grasshopper and GIS software (ArcGIS or QGIS) is recommended, in order to quickly understand the relationships between the components
- It's not necessary to be advanced in GIS, a basic knowledge about how GIS layers work, and understanding the difference between Polygons / Polyline / Points is sufficient
Description
Are you interested in gaining Parametric competency to push your GIS tasks to the next level?
Are you ready to learn a very exciting and powerful tool that will make GIS exporting between CAD to GIS Software more controlled and easy to update?
This course will provide you with the necessary knowledge and ability to use select plugins within Grasshopper, that would make the interoperability process between CAD <> Excel <> GIS a more simplified and easy workflow.
Course content in details:
- A quick Introduction about cadastral plans
- Learn about important Geometry check and best practice check list
Understand how to organize the CAD layers into proper layers with several smart parametric methods:
- Learn how to automatically add new layers in Rhino with a click of a button
- Learn how to assign several geometries into new individual layers automatically with a click of a button
- Extracting Areas from specific layers and integrating them into Excel
- Understand the smart interoperability process between Grasshopper <> Excel <> GIS
We will apply the concept with several examples: Roads, Plots, Buildings and Locations, understanding the difference between Polylines, Polygons and Points in GIS.
- 2 Exercises involving the preparation of data inside of Grasshopper, exporting a SHP file and adding data from Excel will give you the opportunity to test your skills learned.
Whether you are an architect, urban planner, engineer, landscape architect, or a student of these fields, this course will be a great addition to your toolbox and will push your design abilities to a whole new level.
Alright, if you want to learn how to use this amazing parametric platform, get on board and let’s get started!
We will be using QGIS as a free open-source GIS software from qgis(.)org
Please make sure to install the following free plugins for Grasshopper from food4rhino(.)com:
GhShp
LunchBox
Human
Elefront
A detailed step-by-step installation guide of the important plugins is provided, as well as the installation files.
