Sync a Termite Session with Grasshopper

How Sessions Work with Plugins

  • Sessions are created and managed in the Termite Dashboard
  • Grasshopper plugin syncs geometry and information to the active session
  • Changes made in Grasshopper or in the dashboard are reflected across the session

A session becomes the single source of truth for your project during early design.

By refreshing, you can see the last generated layout of the session.

Setting Inputs in Grasshopper

  • Sessions get inputs from the Grasshopper
  • These inputs include a boundary curve, preferred locations for spaces, fixed spaces

Defining Boundary Curves

To start with a layout generation, you need to define a boundary.

Check out a short video on how to insert a boundary in Grasshopper and sync it with a Termite session:

Make sure that the selected boundary is a closed curve.

Defining Preferred Space Locations

You can specify the locations of the spaces inside your boundary.

Defining Fixed Spaces
