Rhino User Webinar Automating Tekla 2D Drawings with Grasshopper Tuesday, April 13, 2025, 3:00 PM (CEST) Discover how to elevate your Tekla drawing capabilities using the free Grasshopper plugin. During this session, you will learn:
Whether you are new to Grasshopper or looking to enhance your existing Tekla workflow, this webinar will equip you with valuable techniques to automate and customize your drawings more efficiently than ever before. Greg Olszewski has spent the last 5 years automating Tekla drawings. He is a software engineer with a background in structural engineering. After many attempts to teach his colleagues about Tekla Open API, he started looking for a tool that was easier to use. This is how a free Grasshopper plugin was born, which connects the world of visual programming with the drawing area in Tekla.  The Foster + Partners Applied R+D team has developed Cyclops, a free, bespoke design plugin for Grasshopper in Rhino. Cyclops is a ray-tracing analysis plugin for Grasshopper that utilizes the power of modern GPUs to accelerate environmental simulations. It supports a range of analyses, including radiation, sunlight, and daylight, and can efficiently manage large-scale, complex geometries and high-density analyses. Cyclops seamlessly integrates into existing workflows and provides analytical feedback to designers in real-time. It turbocharges ray tracing simulations that are fundamental for environmental analyses. Martha Tsigkari, Senior Partner and Head of Applied R+D, Foster + Partners, said: “Cyclops is the latest iteration of a tool that we have been extensively developing, refining, and actively using on projects, over the past fifteen years. During this time, we have experimented with different technologies and user interfaces, allowing designers to run environmental analyses that used to take hours, or even days, in a matter of seconds. We believe that Cyclops will play an important role in supporting positive change within the architectural and engineering industry – enhancing sustainability across a wide range of global projects.” The development of Cyclops is driven by Foster + Partners’ commitment to sustainability. It is being released as a free plugin to encourage widespread adoption and the integration of more sustainable design practices across the industry. Cyclops also enhances the professional development of junior designers by allowing them to rapidly gauge their designs' performance in real-time. In doing so, they will quickly develop an intuition for what makes a building or master plan perform better. Cyclops is in a beta phase and includes a 90-day expiry period. An upgrade will be required within 90 days to renew the expiry and ensure access to the latest updates. Find out more and install the Cyclops plugin...  Are you an architect struggling to integrate Rhino, Grasshopper, or Rhino.Inside.Revit into your workflow? Do you find the interfaces daunting, lack architect-specific tutorials, or feel unsure where to even begin with parametric design? You're not alone. That's why How to Rhino, an Authorised Rhino Training Centre, is hosting a Free Online Rhino & Grasshopper for Architects Workshop from May 4th to May 14th. Led by architects Dusan and Lazar, this workshop provides a clear, step-by-step path to mastering these powerful tools. Forget generic tutorials – this is tailored content designed by architects for architects, covering everything from basics to advanced applications. What You'll Learn:
This year, benefit not only from Dusan and Lazar's expertise but also from insights shared by special guest speakers from the industry! Workshop Structure:
