You want to ✏️ the next 🏛️🏘️🏢🏭🏫🏨⛪🕌? But 📐🔢🗣️ takes all your ⌚? Then try to capture the 🧬 and 💉 it into a new design and let semio 🖥️✒️🖨️.
semio is an open ecosystem for component-based design of architecture. You can capture and link design knowledge. Preparing for the next generation of AI. In the mean time, automatic file federation enables collaboration, automation and reuse.
- Windows
- Rhino 7 or greater
semio has currently two user-interfaces. One in Grasshopper and one that is native (sketchpad).
The Grasshopper plugin can be installed over the Rhino Package Manager.
- Open Rhino Package Manger
- Search for semio
- Install the latest version
- Restart Rhino
sketchpad needs no installation. Just unpack the folder and run it. If you run sketchpad without Grasshopper then you need to manually download and start the engine.
NOTE: The binaries are not signed (yet). Therefor Windows might give a warning.
That's it!
You can download the examples from the latest release.

semio is an ecosystem of several components. There is a backend that can be extended on different platforms and different frontends for viewing and/or authoring designs. All services including their depenencies are vendored into the platform extensions to run as a binary. Consider the rest as magic.
