A great place to start with BHoM is reading our Wiki here including pages like the Structure of the BHoM and Using the BHoM.
Try the installer and a selection of sample scripts.
You will need the following to build BHoM:
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 or higher
- Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 and above (included with Visual Studio 2013)
- Note that there are no software - specific dependencies (only operating system relevant), this is specific: BHoM is a software agnostic object model.
In the following build order:
Build as many as you like of your chosen Interop Toolkits:
Then build as many User Interface Repositories as you like:
- Rhinoceros_Toolkit & Grasshopper_Toolkit (you need both)
- Dynamo_Toolkit
- Excel_Toolkit
You are good to go!
XML_Toolkit is set up to help you by generating cleaner and better quality gbXML files. The Green Building XML schema (gbXML) is an open schema developed to facilitate transfer of building data stored in Building Information Models (BIM) to engineering analysis tools. gbXML eliminates the need to re-enter the same building data and information over and over again into multiple building analysis tools. gbXML is being integrated into a range of software CAD and engineering tools and supported by leading 3D BIM vendors. Please find out more about gbXML here: http://www.gbxml.org/
To find out more about XML_Toolkit and get started, see guidance on the XML_Toolkit Wiki page.
