Run the Studies Locally or on the Cloud and Visualize the Results without Ever Leaving Rhino!

Hello everyone!

We are excited to announce the release of our new improved workflow for running your Pollination studies. As we mentioned in our roadmap for 2023 our goal is to unify the user experience for running studies and visualizing results from the CAD plugins and the web UI. So here it is!

You can now run the studies locally or on the cloud, and visualize the results back into Rhino without ever leaving Rhino! The new panel brings the Pollination web UI inside Rhino!

Highlights

  • You can visualize the results on the web with a single click. The output cards are now easier to find and visualize.

  • The workflow for submitting the simulations is the same as the web UI! Try the PO_Panel command. The rest is the same as what you already know how to do.

  • When you schedule the simulations from the Rhino plugin, you can switch between the local and cloud simulation with a single click. Everything else is exactly the same!

  • You can visualize and bake the results into the Rhino plugin with a single click and without downloading the results.

  • You can now explore the local runs just like how you were able to explore the runs on the Pollination cloud. These local runs are loaded from your local folders. We do not send or store any information for the local runs on the Pollination server.

  • You can download the simulation results as a stand-alone HTML file.

The next steps

Our next step is to integrate the same workflow into the Revit plugin! That means you can use the same UI from the web, the Rhino, and the Revit plugin! We already have a working version, but it needs more testing!

We are also working on improving the preview button so you can switch between different available data without baking them to Rhino.
