Getting started with your first Facet script is easy. The guide below uses the Accordion Fold script as an example, but the workflow applies to any framework in the library.
- Download the Script: Navigate to the Facade Library and find your desired facade. On the detail page, click Download .GH and save the file to your project folder.
- Open in Grasshopper: Launch Rhino 8, open Grasshopper, and open the .GH script.
- Link Your Target Surfaces: Select the target surfaces or polysurfaces in your Rhino viewport that you want to apply the facade to. Go to the Rhino Properties Panel, find the Name field, and enter: GH-Facet-Facade . Facet automatically scans for any visible Rhino geometry matching that specific name.
- Customize Your Design Use the Main Parameters or the highlighted Number Sliders to adjust the facade-specific parameters, customize the material preview and output layers, or extend the scripts with your own logic.
- Bake the Final Geometry: Once you are happy with the result, click the Bake button. You can find a button at the bottom of the Setup group or at the far-right end of the script; both buttons perform the exact same action.
