Termite Documentation¶

Termite is an AI design assistant for the early design phase. It works inside the CAD tool you already use (Rhino, Revit, Archicad or Grasshopper). You draw a floor boundary, and Termite splits it into units and generates apartment or hotel-room layouts for you.

Watch Termite in action¶

Three short videos, about 5 minutes in total, from an empty model to a finished floor plan.

2. Generate a unit mix for each floor

Shown in Archicad. The steps are the same in Rhino and Revit.

How Termite works¶

There are three steps:

Sign in to the portal. On termite.tools you get your access token, download the plugins and manage your plan.
Install the plugin for your CAD tool and enter your access token.
Design inside your CAD tool. Create a project, define floors, generate a unit mix and then generate floor plans for the units.

Portal  ──►  Plugin (Rhino / Revit / Archicad / Grasshopper)
             │
             └─ Project
                 └─ Floors ──► Unit mix ──► Plan layouts

All your work is saved under a project on the Termite server. You can close your CAD tool and come back to it later.
