Sverchok

Description

Sverchok is a Blender add-on. Sverchok is a parametric tool for architects and designers for Blender and FreeCAD. You can use it to program objects' model geometry without knowing any programming languages. Sverchok has been inspired by Grasshopper from Rhino 3D and it uses a similar node-based visual programming principle. Developers are working to bring these feature to free/libre software.

Sverchok has nodes that interact with other free/libre software projects:

• Some nodes depend on FreeCAD libraries
• Some nodes depend on Ladybug Tools libraries

There is currently development on letting Blender handle solids via Sverchok and FreeCAD.
