Description

Speckle does stuff with Grasshopper and the Internet (usually). 

Speckle has quite a rich, albeit short, history: 

1. Speckle The First: http://speckle.xyz

Speckle The First simply allows you to upload geometry to a server and then view it online from anywhere. 

2. Speckle The Second: http://beta.speckle.xyz

Speckle The Second allows you to precompute a discrete portion of your solution space and then play with it online by manipulating sliders, through some quite primitive sliders. 

3. Speckle The Third: http://streams.speckle.xyz

Speckle The Thirds does the same as Speckle The Second (see above), but better and is wrapped in a more attractive ui. 

All the above were experiments in developing a protocol for design data communication that is easy to use and just works. 

Forward to now: https://speckle.works

Speckle enables data rich collaboration between designers: structure your own communications channels and evolve complexity gradually, from simple geometry to fully integrated BIM-like “smart” objects.

Check out the tutorials: 

1. How to install

2. How to send and receive data

3. How to build your own bim

Speckle is Open Source, released under the MIT Licence. That's polite language that you can do whatever the f*** you want with it, including taking the code and start selling it for a profit (as long as you credit). 

Another important thing to note is that we are taking feature requests and we do ask questions, but not in the grasshopper forum: 

We hang out on slack and on the discourse forum.

    Ha, wow, Remy! Merci beaucoup pour ca! Je dois aussi ecrire plus de documentation (mais j'ai pas du temps dans cette moment). 

    Si tu veux le traduire en anglais, tu peux contribuire sur le wiki on github (https://github.com/didimitrie/future.speckle/wiki/User-Guide)

    Excuse moi pour mon francais de merde...

    Salut Dimitrie,

    Ton Français est meilleur que mon Anglais !

    Je serais ravi de participer, je vais essayer de diffuser mon article sur le wiki GitHub.

    A bientôt.

    Hi,

    two observations...

    I had 5 simple models on the old specle that I embedded in a website just as a viewer.

    First of all 5 links somehow disappeared and stopped working. Three of them reverted to cubes, two became something completely different.

    I will try it again ... as you have said NO guarantees!! ... I was wondering do you have a time limit on the models?

    Also I noticed that the embedded geometry works really well on the computer but does not work and crashes the site on the iOS phone.

    Keep up the good work!

    Yep, I checked - there's something wrong with the shortid generation :/ when the app restarts, it gets init with the same stupid seed, which means it start overwriting files. 

    Thank god i said no guarantees. I'll push a hot fix asap - after tomorrow though...

    For now, re-upload those models and use the new links... sorry for the trouble!

    Hi, Dimitrie! Tell me please, how to change default folder name?

    I have a same problem:

    "1. Solution exception:The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)"

    Hi Dimitrie!

    Is there a way to include sliders to control the shape of the model uploaded to Speckle?
    You show that in several examples but I didn´t find a way to do it when I downloaded the Speckle component.

    BTW, congrats, great job!!

    Hi! I started using Speckle recently and I have to say it´s just great!!

    Still, I am wondering if it could be possible to visualize certain properties of an object clicking on it. I mean its surface, volume or maybe some text that was previously linked to that object in Grasshopper. Lets say you are defining a basic geometry for plots and buildings in Grasshopper and you want to visualize not only their geometry but their numeric features once you upload the file to Speckle.

    @owe part 1: model info: not yet, but we're working on it. 

    @owe part 2: sliders, hell yea. check http://streams.speckle.xyz
