Groundhog

ADDON. Version 0.13.0. Released on 24-May-2021. Provides 25 components. Created by Philip Belesky. Features 0 video tutorials.
Groundhog is a Grasshopper plugin, a set of reference models, and wiki exploring the applications of computational design in landscape architecture.

Hydro

Channel Region (CRegion)
Determine the submerged region of a channel given a quantity of water
Channel Info (CInfo)
Calculate characteristics of water flow in a channel from its submerged region
River Flood Levels (River Floods)
Examine flooding levels along a surface from a river source
Sea Flood Levels (Sea Floods)
Examine flooding levels along a surface from a tidal source
Flow Saturation (Saturation)
Identify the saturation levels across terrain given flow paths
Flow Catchments (Catchments)
Identify the catchments within a set of flow paths
Flow Projection (Mesh) (Mesh Flows)
Construct flow paths over a mesh
Flow Projection (Surface) (Srf Flows)
Construct flow paths over a surface

Flora

Generic Species (PGeneric)
Output plant objects from pre-defined generic types
Species Importer (PImport)
Create plant attributes from an imported spreadsheet
Plant Appearance (root mesh) (Shower (root mesh))
Simulate the appearance of a particular plant instance's root using a mesh between canopy and trunk
Plant Appearance (canopy mesh) (Shower (canopy mesh))
Simulate the appearance of a particular plant instance's canopy using a mesh between canopy and trunk
Plant Appearance (discs) (Shower (discs))
Simulate the appearance of a particular plant instance using circles

Mapping

Field Mapper (Field)
Create a field representation from collections of bounded curves/lines.
Field Visualisation (Grid) (Field Grid)
Translate a field into a grid based visualisation. Outputs a number constrained by a range which can be used to then make a color or shape.
Random Path (RandPath)
Calculates a random path (in 2 dimensions)
Shortest Path (ShortPath)
Calculates the shortest path in a network of curves

Utilities

Contour Gap Fix (Contour Gaps)
Checks if contours have gaps, and bridges them if so
Contour Planarity Fix (Contour Planarity)
Checks contours are planar and corrects them if not
Contour Clipper (Contour Clip)
Checks contours meet a specific boundary, otherwise extend/trim them
Mesh Color by Face (Mesh Paint)
Colors each mesh face with a solid color, in order. Like mesh spray, but without any blending between faces.

Terrain

Mesh Aspect (Aspect)
Analyses the aspect of a Mesh, outputting separated faces for coloring and the aspect
Mesh Slope (Slope)
Analyses the slope of a Mesh, outputting separated faces for coloring and the slope/grade
Surface Aspect (Aspect)
Analyses the aspect of a Surface, outputting separated faces for coloring and the aspect
Surface Slope (Slope)
Analyses the slope of a Surface, outputting separated faces for coloring and the slope/grade
