Description
@ladybug-tools/spiders
Well, it looks like Spider is starting to spin a web. gbXML Viewer Basic is likeley to be in the next OpenStudio update (2.6.1).
Open Studio gbXML Viewer source code
- https://github.com/NREL/OpenStudio/tree/develop/openstudiocore/src/openstudio_lib/library
- https://github.com/NREL/OpenStudio/blob/develop/openstudiocore/src/openstudio_lib/library/embeddable_gbxml_editor.html
It probably would make sense to think about adding Spider to https://www.ladybug.tools/. Several edits seem to make sense:
- Adding logo and title here:

@chriswmackey: you created a nice logo for the gbXML seminar. Could you make it available for reuse?
-
Adding logo to the to network diagram just below the logos. Note I am working (slowly) on 3D interactive 3D version of this diagram.
-
Updating text to 'What is Ladybug Tools?'
Note this text appears on the home page and also on the GitHub read me: https://github.com/ladybug-tools/ladybug-tools.github.io/blob/master/README.md. I will take a stab at an update in a pull request in the coming days -
Adding NREL, Buro Happold and Perkins Will logos to the list of users. Maybe also gbXML.org?
BTW, It's coming up to the first anniversary of IBPSA2017. As invited by @mostaphaRoudsari, @chriswmackey and @mdahlhausen, this is where I first heard of this 'gbXML' thing and which led me to suggest to @bwelle to think about gbXML to as a file format for the Perkins Will SPEED project. Which @mdengusiak soon jumped on and, well, the web started to be woven.
Fingers crossed we can help deliver what NREL OpenStudio users need.
