Land Kit 1.0.4
🚎 Speed
In preparation for our Land Kit Intro Workshop we have been refining some performance and stability items on our list. Of particular interest for this version are some serious speed improvements to Paving Kit which expands on previous performance improvements to Topo Kit and Plant Kit
🌎 Dynamic Units
A recent update in version 1.0.3 was Dynamic Units. Dynamic Units looks at all of the default values and internal values related to scale. Previously, Land Kit was focused solely on feet as the primary unit system. But now you can work with a range of units. But how does it work??
If your Rhino file is in mm, all of the defaults and internal coefficients will change to accommodate mm. AND, now in 1.0.4, the component input descriptions will update to show you the default in the current units.
📦 Package Manager
Lots of folks like to avoid manually downloading and installing Grasshopper plugins by simply using Rhino 7’s Package Manager. Current and future releases of Land Kit are now taking advantage of this system. This can work a couple of different ways. First, if you open a Grasshopper file with Land Kit components, Grasshopper will just ask you if you want to install Land Kit. How cool is that? And if you want to update Land Kit to the latest version, you can type “PackageManager” in Rhino and then search for “Land Kit”. Select Land Kit, click ‘install’, and restart Rhino.
So, get the latest release any way you want:

And sign up for an upcoming Workshop if you want to learn how to take full advantage of Land Kit’s latest features and improvements.
