Information

Space Syntax is a theory of architecture and built environment that seeks to explain the effect of spatial configurations on behavioral patterns of people. SYNTACTIC tools bring Space Syntax theory into parametric design workflows. More information on syntactic design methodology:

This plugin is completely compatible with SpiderWeb for Grasshopper and we hereby thank Richard Schaffranek for all we have learned from this extremely useful plugin.

NEW VERSION WAS RELEASED ON JANUARY 25, 2015.

UPDATE: Genesis Lab [webpage][website] is to modernize, open-source, and develop the toolkit starting in December 2021. Stay tuned for updates through my YouTube Channel and ResearchGate.

I am using Rhino 5 x64 version actually.

Comment by Pirouz Nourian on May 14, 2019 at 2:14am: Hi Shameem Ashraf, it could be that you are using it in Rhino 6; which might be incompatible with our last release. We are working on an update to resolve the issue.

Hope this helps.

Comment by Shameem Ashraf on May 9, 2019 at 11:26am: Hi! Sorry for the noob question, but I have installed the SYNTACTIC_V_2.7.exe downloaded from your website. Opened up grasshopper, found no tabs or tools, I'm missing something big, what am I missing here though?

Hi Andrea, the latest release, available on my website includes an example file. The link is above (under the logo). I know it has compatibility issues with Rhino 6 and that it may only work with Rhino 5. We are working on these issues.

Hope this helps.

Comment by Andrea on April 26, 2019 at 9:26am: Hello Pirouz,
Can you please upload an example file of the last version of Syntactic?
Ps: on which version of Rhino does it run better?

Thanks

Hi Dēmiurgos, I guess you want to change the graph drawing style. Right? If it is only color of the nodes, you can provide alternative colors to the List of Lists (LOL) component. Changing the style of drawing is more complicated. Which graph drawing tool is it that you want to change?
