Paneling Tools

ADDON. Version 2021.3.2.3446. Released on 2021-Mar-02. Provides 68 components. Created by Rajaa Issa. Features 1 video tutorials.
PanelingTools plugin by Robert McNeel & Associates is closely integrated with Rhino and Grasshopper, and is widely used by designers, architects, and building prefessionals. It supports intuitive design of paneling concepts as well as help rationalize complex geometry into a format that is suitable for analysis and fabrication. PanelingTools for Grasshopper allows parametric use of attractors to manipulate grids and variable morphing of patterns.
