This repository provides data structures, tools and methods for assembly information modeling.

Requirements

• Windows 10 Professional
• Rhino 8 / Grasshopper
• Anaconda Python
• Visual Studio Code
• Github Desktop
• potentially: Microsoft Visual C++

Installation

Installation COMPAS FAB

(base)  conda create -n your_env_name -c conda-forge compas_fab
(base)  conda activate your_env_name

Verify Installation of COMPAS FAB

(your_env_name) python -m compas_fab
Yay! COMPAS FAB is installed correctly!   

Installation of COMPAS FAB on Rhino from PyPI

(your_env_name) python -m compas_rhino.print_python_path
(your_env_name) C:\Users\your_user_name\.rhinocode\py39-rh8\python.exe -m pip install compas_fab

Make sure you set up your local development environment correctly:

• Clone the assembly_information_model repository.
• Change to the branch 'compas2'!!!!!!!!
• Install development dependencies and make the project accessible from Rhino (change to repository directory in the Anaconda prompt):

Making the AIM repository accessible in Rhino 8

Find the Rhino 8 Python executable by running the following in a terminal or command prompt:

(your_env_name) python -m compas_rhino.print_python_path

Your Rhino 8 Python path should look something like this:

C:\Users\your_user_name\.rhinocode\py39-rh8\python.exe

Then you can pip install all dependencies using the file path of the Rhino 8 Python executable:

(your_env_name) your_py39-rh8_path -m pip install your_filepath_to_assembly_information_model

In editable mode:

(your_env_name) your_py39-rh8_path pip install -e your_filepath_to_assembly_information_model
