Services Overview
The analysis modules in the Systems panel, sharing one ray engine.
Each service is an environmental study you run from the Systems panel, and they all share the same ray engine.
How Services Work
- Scope — the study runs over a geometry group or an ad-hoc selection. Groups sync live with Rhino, so what you analyze stays in step with the model.
- Compute — the study issues ray queries against the shared engine, which picks the backend your machine supports and falls back on its own.
- Output — a live viewport heatmap, per-sensor values, or study diagnostics.
Because every service answers through one verified engine rather than separate one-off implementations, the studies compose: reorganize a group or change the massing, and any study you re-run reflects it immediately.
Available Services
Wrengler is in preview, and the studies are not all at the same stage.
Sunlight Analysis
Shipped. Cumulative direct-sun hours over a chosen period, painted as a live heatmap that updates as you change massing.
View Studies
Adapter implemented; live verification pending. Visible-fraction heatmaps between observers and targets, for view quality and privacy. Individual sightlines are not yet part of the result.
Solar Radiation
Preview implementation; automatic refresh wired, live Rhino verification pending. Group-scoped, single-instant irradiance in W/m² with a transient total heatmap and per-surface results. Direct, diffuse, and total values are returned by the host contract.
Geometry Grouping
Named groups that scope any study and stay in sync with Rhino.
