"Michelle,I do not teach Ecotect in Grasshopper class, I worked with simulation applications teachers such as Ecotect as contents are related. You can find FAQs in Ecotect forum. - Agnes agnes.tan@mcneel.comKuala Lumpur, Malaysia "

"Michelle, You can create your building models in Grasshopper to connect to Ecotect via Geco. Terrain and surrounding factors such as hills and trees are part of your solar simulation in Ecotect. Geco connects Ecotect and Grasshopper to update your…"

"they are going to rotate on their own axis if they are rotating individually. if they are going to rotate simultaneously, they should rotate around the base axis. so i hope i can design both rotations:individually and four together. Is it possible…"

"This is the buildings that i try to design. Where i can rotate all four buildings individually and rotate all the buildings simultaneously by rotating its platform. So which grasshopper components do i need to do this?"

"This is an Australian guide for home design. It is helpful in guiding you to consider the options for home orientation but it does depend on what your climate is. This is another guide put out by QUT's Centre for Subtropical Design.…"

"Dear Michelle, After doing building simulation about houses here in Malaysia since quite some time now, I can share the following with you: If you have a elongated house (i.e. l > w), then the best orientation is alone the East-West axis. You…"

"My fyp topic is the influence of spatial arrangement of buildings on their thermal performance in hot and humid climate. so i am going to simulate the building using Grasshopper and analysis it using Ecotect. The main concern is to arrange the…"
