View Studies

View Studies measures visibility between observers and targets. For each observer it returns a visible fraction of the target set, plus the sightlines that connect them — so the same result reads two ways: a great view, or an exposure to manage.

What You Get

• Visible fraction — how much of the target set is actually in view once context blocks the rest.
• Sightlines — the rays that reach their targets, drawn so you can see what is open and what is obstructed.

How it Will Work

1. Define observers and targets — put the observer points or surfaces and the target geometry into groups, or select them in Rhino.
2. Run — the engine casts rays from each observer toward the targets.
3. Read the result — the visible fraction compares positions; the sightlines explain why.

Use Cases

• View quality — compare units in a residential development by what they can actually see.
• Privacy — find the parts of a building overlooked by neighbours.
• Public space — check sightlines across parks and plazas.
