MetricMonkey. Design Better Buildings.

@HalfLapJoint It is unlikely. RhinoInside for Vectorworks would need to be developed before we consider it. ArchiCAD might be possible though.

Say goodbye to manually created shop drawings and hello to Modern Methods of Construction.

The analysis doesn't yet consider rebar or mechanical fixings but stay tuned…

Want to measure embodied carbon in your buildings? With MetricMonkey, you can generate superstructures and analyse their Global Warming Potential in real-time. The example below shows a 'Cradle-to-Gate' Life Cycle Analysis (A1-A3) evaluating mass timber vs (low carbon) concrete.

Do you ever need to place spot elevations on context buildings to see how your building compares? Well, you're in luck! MetricMonkey's built-in functionality automates the process saving you time.

Check overshadowing compliance with real-time views from the sun.

Automatic stair generation based on floor-to-floor heights and maximum egress distance. Still some tweaks needed, but getting closer to mass-customisation at scale.

Now, this is super cool - 3D cadastre with real-time modification of building pads (cut/fill) and site setbacks.

The future is generative…

Architects generally conceive of buildings using conventional building techniques. But what if we empower architects to embrace Modern Methods of Construction with the right digital tools?

Layer by layer, dataset by dataset. Import your project's relevant context with MetricMonkey to help you design better buildings.

Progressive model refinement is a concept deeply embedded into the BIM workflow. Start with something generic and progressively refine it. But what if we started with a detailed model and simply applied graphical filters to visualise it differently?

@thebimguru It doesn't do that yet but we'll look into it.

Automated site setbacks with MetricMonkey. Still a few bugs to iron out, but getting closer to generative design at scale.

Visualising the relationship between built and unbuilt spaces using a real-time figure-ground analysis with MetricMonkey. The solid mass poche can be calculated via a horizontal 'cut', or via height above the topography to simulate how a pedestrian would experience it.

MetricMonkey enables you to import georeferenced #GIS data, and best of all, you don't need to manage multiple datasets to see what is what. Each cadastre lot is embedded with the relevant planning data - zoning, FSR, max height, heritage, etc.

MetricMonkey's detailed topography module ensures no resolution loss occurs around your site for accurate cut and fill calculation. Meanwhile, the wider site context is simplified to reduce the point count, enabling the topography to be more easily pushed into #revit.

Trying to create a city-wide topography in #revit? Most Digital Elevation Models (DEM) come with such a high point sampling count that they grind Revit to a halt. So what to do? Manually delete thousands of points or use MetricMonkey's simplified topography module.

[MetricMonkey @MetricMonkey]

MetricMonkey has a range of advanced #GIS tools, including the ability to crop hi-resolution city models in real-time. The resulting model is watertight and easily imported into #revit. As best of all, these modifications are non-destructive.
