06. Using CarboCroc: Carbo Life Calculations in Grasshopper - DavidVeld/CarboLifeCalc GitHub Wiki
This page will describe how to activate CarboCroc: Carbo Life Calculator for Rhino Grasshopper This will work for Rhino version 5.0 and upwards.
CarboCroc can access the default template specified in the main program's settings. You can create a project by either:
- Adding individual elements with a volume and material or,
- Creating groups with a volume and material, and then adding these.
Once a project is created, it will calculate and return the embodied carbon of all material-dependent properties.
6.1 Activating the Rhino Module
-
In Rhino open GrasshopperDeveloperSettings
-
Add your installation directory (The location where all the Carbo Life Calc files can be found)
-
Grasshopper will show the CarboCroc tab, and you have full access to the CarboCrocTools
6.2 Restrictions
CarboCroc can do all material-based calculations, for further analysis the user can save the project and open this in the main Carbo Life Calculator application. A sample Project "CarboCrocSampleProject" has been provided as an example of how Rhino can be set up next to Carbo Croc.
