2. Load Geometry

How to load in your geometry from Rhino

The following screen will allow you to pick up the geometry based on the layer structure in your Rhino model.

Load your geometry from Rhino

The 'Load Layers from Rhino' button will make the connection to the layer table in Rhino and read in the geometry, and present you with the following screen:

Choose the layers you want to include in the simulation

Example Rhino file with layer table on the right - compare with the layers in the image above

In the app we can choose which layers we will include in the calculation. Certain layer names work as keys - see the Tips & Tricks section for more in depth information and their implications. Important to note here is that you can have an Existing and a Proposed layer in the Layers to include section, but only one of them will be chosen, based on the Scenario to simulate you choose. You will only ever run or a Proposed, or an Existing case.

Furthermore, when you have layers with vegetation included in your geometry, you can choose if you want to run them with a dense, summer crown, or with a much more sparse, winter crown.

When you choose the Import Geometry button, the next page allows you to choose the Simulation Fineness, or Resolution for your simulation from Low, Medium, High to Very High. In addition you can choose the Simulation Type, a Pedestrian Wind Comfort Study, or an Individual Directional Study. More about those on the next (separate) pages.
