Gh_Massing_Area_Analysis

This Grasshopper file contours a given massing geometry or a collection of geometries based on a list of floor-to-floor heights and outputs areas, floor heights, etc., as well as floor plan boundaries and massing blocks.

How to use

Inputs

Massing

Series of Breps as massing

Floor to Floor heights

Floor to Floor heights of the given massing.

Min Ceiling Height

The minimum acceptable ceiling height.

Outputs

Floor Count

List of floor indexes.

####Floor Elevations List of elevations of each floor

Floor To Floor Heights

List of the floor-to-floor heights resulting from slicing the massing

Areas Per Floor

List of total area of each floor

Max Building Height

The maximum building height after slicing.

Total Area

The total area of all floors

Floor Boundaries

The floor boundary curves

Massing Divided

The floor boundary extrusions

Notes

• It works with multiple massings however it combines all the metrics. If you need the metrics separately you would need to adjust the code or you can copy and paste the entire thing for each massing.
• If the massing geometry and the given floor-to-floor heights don't match, or there are slopes in the massing, the output floor-to-floor heights would vary depending on the minimum ceiling height and the discrepancies between input massing and floor-to-floor heights.
