Smart Geometry & Semantics
Meaning-driven design

Smart Geometry & Semantics

Move beyond generic metadata. Assign semantic categories with typed parameter schemas that define what geometry IS, not just how it looks.

Real-Time GPU Analysis
GPU-accelerated compute

Real-Time GPU Analysis

High-performance GPU-based ray tracing for sunlight hours and view corridors. Get instant feedback on environmental and visibility performance.

Contextual Intelligence
Reactive urban logic

Contextual Intelligence

Automated plot division and rule-based clustering. Understand spatial relationships and influence fields across your entire site.

Morphology Metrics
Precision analytics

Morphology Metrics

Quantify your design with automated metrics for compactness, accessibility, and positioning. Data-driven insights for urban planning.

AI Image Generation
Prompt → visuals

AI Image Generation

Generate concept imagery and iterations directly from your design intent. Fast prompts, variations, and visual exploration built into the workflow.

AI Assistant
Design copilot

AI Assistant

Ask questions, get guidance, and accelerate your workflow with a built-in assistant tuned for architectural intelligence and Rhino-based design tasks.

Wind
Wind & airflow

Wind

Analyze wind flow and comfort across your site. Visualize and optimize for natural ventilation and pedestrian comfort.

Sound
Nord2000 · Environmental noise

Sound

Predict environmental noise with Nord2000: road and rail sources, 1/3 octave propagation, ground effect, diffraction, and Lden/Lnight for compliance.

Thermal Comfort
Thermal performance

Thermal Comfort

Evaluate outdoor thermal comfort with sun, shade, and mean radiant temperature. Support human comfort in urban spaces.

Carbon Calculation
Embodied & operational carbon

Carbon Calculation

Estimate embodied and operational carbon from your design. Track emissions by material, assembly, and lifecycle for informed sustainability decisions.

Smart Geometry & Semantics

Geometry in Balarhinos carries semantic weight. Every object belongs to a category with specific parameter schemas, allowing for reactive design logic that understands the difference between a building, a road, and a park.

Capabilities
  • 1Typed parameter schemas
  • 2Semantic object identity
  • 3Stable versioning & tracking
  • 4Preset-based material mapping
