Objectives

For 2020

Honeybee Viewer Objectives

• Accesses, lists folders on GitHub with Sample files of the following types
  • gbXML, Honeybee Schema JSON, Dragonfly Schema JSON, RAD, OBJ, STL, GLTF, FBX and perhaps more
• Enables opening, displaying and saving assemblies of all the above file types
• Access maps images, terrain data and adjacent building data and add to assemblies
• Add Sun range, analaemmas and and similar
• Allow for building changes such as openings and shades being open or closed
• Allow for coloring, texturing and animating any surface using data supplied by engineering apps
• Add Git or Git-line capabilities to all files
• Enable projects to look pretty and be accessible or normal people
• Encourage use of data simplifications such as gbXML to be useful for envisaging piping, escape routes, signage etc
• Generate new data files as parametric components
• Provide seamless linking two way between 3D models and JSON or source data

Assistance with fixing broken CAD files will be available upon very special request only
