COMPAS Masonry is a plugin for Rhino for the assessment of masonry structures. The current version of this plugin is based on COMPAS 2 and is available for Rhino 8.
Warning
This plugin is under active development, and uses the still somewhat unstable CPython infrastructure of Rhino 8 through the new ScriptEditor. Therefore, unexpected errors may occur.
To install COMPAS Masonry, use Rhino's package manager Yak.
Masonry uses the following COMPAS packages:
After installing COMPAS Masonry with Yak, you can check if all requirements are installed using the command Masonry_reqs_check.
Missing requirements can be installed automatically using the command Masonry_reqs_install.
This command uses Rhino's built in installation mechanism for Python packages (# r: ...).
If you use Rhino for scripting, and if you have other COMPAS packages installed, or plan to install them in the future, we recommend to install Masonry's requirements manually using pip.
Warning
pip based installations and # r: ... based installations should not be mixed,
since this will create conflicts between packages and package versions.
Masonry defines the following commands:
MasonryMasonry_patternMasonry_pattern_modifyMasonry_pattern_relaxMasonry_pattern_supportsMasonry_pattern_boundariesMasonry_formMasonry_forceMasonry_tna_horizontalMasonry_tna_verticalMasonry_form_modifyMasonry_force_modifyMasonry_thrust_modifyMasonry_scene_clearMasonry_scene_redrawMasonry_session_undoMasonry_session_redoMasonry_session_openMasonry_session_saveMasonry_settingsMasonry_reqs_checkMasonry_reqs_install
These commands can be executed at the Rhino Command Prompt (simply start typing the command name), or using the COMPAS Masonry toolbar.
