BHoM

A great place to start is reading our Wiki here including pages like the Structure of the BHoM and Using the BHoM.

Quick start

Try the installer and a selection of sample scripts.

Building the BHoM and the Toolkits from Source

You will need the following to build BHoM:

• Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 or higher
• Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 and above (included with Visual Studio 2013)
• Note that there are no software - specific dependencies (only operating system relevant), this is specific: BHoM is a software agnostic object model.

Clone and build the Core BHoM Repos

In the following build order:

• BHoM

• BHoM_Engine

• BHoM_Adapter

• BHoM_UI

• Socket_Toolkit

• Mongo_Toolkit

Build as many as you like of your chosen Interop Toolkits:

• Revit_Toolkit
• Robot_Toolkit
• ETABS_Toolkit
• Lusas_Toolkit
• GSA_Toolkit
• TAS_Toolkit
• XML_Toolkit

Then build as many User Interface Repositories as you like:

• Rhinoceros_Toolkit & Grasshopper_Toolkit (you need both)
• Dynamo_Toolkit
• Excel_Toolkit

You are good to go!
