Abstract

Building form has a profound influence on the green performance of buildings. And the modeling tools are one of the factors can affect the building forms which play an important role in the design process. Nowadays, parametric modeling tools become popular in the architectural area. However, the functions of data processing and data comparison cannot meet the current modeling data processing requirements which need to be improved urgently. This paper developed the transDATA, which is a plugin based on python to realize the data exchanging and data visualization functions between Grasshopper, Excel and the Figure of python. This plugin allows architects to compare the history design parameters of the building and help architects to select the most ideal scheme efficiently.
