Sverchok
Stub: This article needs expansion.
Description
Sverchok is a [Blender add-on](/categories/blender-add-on/). Sverchok is a parametric tool for architects and designers for [Blender](/blender/) and [FreeCAD](/freecad/). You can use it to program objects' model geometry without knowing any programming languages. Sverchok has been inspired by Grasshopper from [Rhino 3D](/rhinoceros-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:
There is currently development on letting Blender handle solids via Sverchok and FreeCAD.
