Sneak peek at pathfinding – Through the Interface

A quick update before a larger unveiling next week…

We’ve made solid progress with implementing the grid-based capabilities of the SpaceAnalysis package. All being well we should have an “official” version available early next week.

This release will contain pathfinding – based on Djikstra’s shortest path algorithm, working on a grid with the size and resolution of your choice – as well as the ability to test visibility – using the same grid for an Isovist-like analysis. We have a version already posted via the Dynamo Package Manager (ssshhhh!), but we’ve gone through and rationalised a bunch of the nodes – their names and their locations in the “API” – as well as integrating the visibility-testing capability, too, so if you go and look now you’ll end up making work for yourself. If you like making work for yourself, then please feel free to check it out. Otherwise, on Monday we should have something with an API you can rely on for a little while.

There…
