SkinDesigner
ADDON. Version 0.5.00. Released on 2018-Sep-14. Provides 35 components. Created by Santiago Garay. Features 17 video tutorials.
SkinDesigner enables the rapid generation of facade geometries from building massing surfaces and repeating, user-defined panels. SkinDesigner has the geometric freedom to create virtually any facade geometry that is composed of similar repeating elements.
03 | Design Controllers
| Data Generator Distance Use this component to generate data through a distance-based algorithm to be used in the Panel Controller Legacy version | |
| Layout Controller Use this component to specify a layout pattern to a skin solution. | |
| Layout Type Pattern Use this component to apply a specific pattern panel layout algorithm to a Design Function. | |
| Layout Type Pattern By Row Use this component to apply a specific pattern layout algorithm to a Layout Controller | |

| Systems Panel Use this component to generate a panel type to be used by the SkinGenerator component to generate a panelized skin. |
04 | Display
| Panel Inventory Use this component to display all panel types generated to develop the skin solution with a count of haw many panels are panel On bold are displayed the panels types that have standard dimensiosn (not custom sized) | |
| Panel Viewer Use this component to display a panel or panel bay in the scene and/or generate grasshopper breps of the panel elements. | |
| Skin Data Viewer Use this component to extract from a SkinGenerator solution overall panel Ids and their locations as well as a range of panel properties as breps. | |
| Skin Elements Viewer Use this component _ _ - | |
| Skin Panel Index Viewer Use this component to display all panel types used to generate the skin |
05 | Update
| Export Skin Designer Developers of skin generator can use this to export new userobjects to the master folder. This component was written thanks to Giulio Piacentino a really helpful example. - | |
| Update File Use this component to update SkinDesigner tools components in an old file | |
| Update Skin Designer Code Developers and Beta Testers of new SkinDesigner components can use this component to remove old SkinDesigner components, add new SkinDesigner components, and update existing SkinDesigner components from a synced Github folder on their computer |
