Grasshopper Script — 3930 Pomeroy Drive: 3 House Designs + Wrap-Around

Greenhouse | 48 Layers | 10 Analysis Reports | Rhino 7/8

TAGLINE

───────

One script. Three complete houses. A full wrap-around greenhouse. Ten

professional analysis outputs. Drop it in Grasshopper and your whole property

comes to life.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

───────────────────

This is the most detailed residential Grasshopper script we've ever released.

Built around a real 7.93-acre property in Kansas City KS — 3930 Pomeroy Drive

— this script generates three fully-realized house designs, a wrap-around

lean-to greenhouse corridor, and ten professional-grade analysis reports, all

from a single C# component in Grasshopper.

Wire a Panel with a few key-value pairs and your building springs to life at

whatever level of detail you choose. Hit the Bake toggle and every layer —

roof, brick, glass, gutters, pergola, skylights, the lot — lands in Rhino

with its own render material already applied.

─────────────────────────────

THREE COMPLETE HOUSE DESIGNS

─────────────────────────────

★ HOUSE 0 — 1972 Mid-Century Ranch (3930 Pomeroy Drive, KCK)

The real thing. Single-story hip roof, buff Wyandotte clay brick, wide

Prairie overhangs, attached two-car garage, solatube sun tunnels, fruit

trees, split-rail fence, rear pergola, and all the character of a genuine

1970s Kansas City ranch. Every brick course, every K-style gutter run,

every downspout corner modelled in full.

★ HOUSE 1 — 1912 Prairie Craftsman Bungalow

1.5-story jerkinhead roof at a steep 7:12 pitch. Full-width front porch

with five tapered columns on stone piers, knee-brace brackets, exposed

rafter tails, tripartite divided-lite windows, Craftsman entry door with

sidelights, detached carriage garage, and a prominent two-flue brick

chimney. Everything that made the streetcar suburbs of Westport and Hyde

Park iconic.

★ HOUSE 2 — 2022 Modern Farmhouse

Two-story board-and-batten in clean white. Black steel window frames,

standing seam metal roof, three-car garage wing, wraparound porch with

square columns, second-floor balcony, roof skylights, pool terrace, and

contemporary ornamental landscaping. The dominant new-build style of

Lenexa, Olathe, and Leawood — captured completely.

Switch between all three with a single integer input. No re-wiring. No

rebuilding. Just change HouseType from 0 to 1 to 2 and watch the whole model

transform.

─────────────────────────────────────────────────

WRAP-AROUND LEAN-TO GREENHOUSE CORRIDOR

─────────────────────────────────────────────────

A full engineering-grade greenhouse wraps the East, North, and West sides of

the house — a retrofit lean-to that you could actually build.

• Welded aluminium I-section columns at every bay

• Continuous Al eave plate bolted to house wall at plate height (9 ft)

• Thermopane dual-pane cassettes — 5/16" outer + 1/2" air gap + 5/16" inner

• Sloped glass at ~37° from horizontal, dropping from 9 ft to 6.5 ft

• Horizontal purlins at 1/3 and 2/3 of slope span

• 8" split-face CMU knee wall, 4 courses + coping cap, at outer eave

• Outer vertical glazing panels above knee wall

• 3-step aluminium ridge flashing at house-wall junction

• 4" half-round Al gutter + 2x2" square downspouts at every other column

• Operable vent boxes at every other bay (open/closed state modelled)

• Corner pilasters with L-shaped glazed panels and diagonal corner rafters

• Planting troughs, potting bench, and greenhouse slab floor with thickened

frost-footing edge beam

Every structural member, every cassette, every gutter segment is a real Brep.

Not a placeholder. Not a symbol. A buildable, renderable piece of geometry.

─────────────────────────────

48 MATERIAL LAYERS

─────────────────────────────

Every surface in the model lands on its own named layer — 48 total — with a

custom render material applied on bake. From buff brick and dark asphalt

shingles to cedar pergola, wrought-iron handrails, cool-blue greenhouse glass,

and charcoal standing-seam metal roof. Layers are organised under a single

parent so your file stays clean.

Render-ready from the moment you hit Bake. Open your Rhino render and go.

─────────────────────────────

LOD 1–5 DETAIL SYSTEM

─────────────────────────────

Control how much geometry is generated with a single "lod" key in your CFG

panel:

LOD 1 — Foundation + wall massing only

LOD 2 — Full roof, garage, greenhouse structure

LOD 3 — Windows, doors, gutters, driveway, patio, pergola, handrails

LOD 4 — Brick coursing, shingle banding, HVAC units, lighting fixtures,

raised garden beds, stepping stones, fence, mailbox, skylights

LOD 5 — Full site grading + earthwork section

Use LOD 1–2 for massing studies. LOD 4–5 for client presentations and renders.

─────────────────────────────

TEN ANALYSIS OUTPUTS

─────────────────────────────

Plug the text outputs into Grasshopper panels and get ten professional-grade

reports generated automatically from your model geometry:

1. PROPERTY REPORT — Lot area, zoning, setbacks, floor areas, wall

ratios, roof pitch, ridge height, architectural

character, and site data for 3930 Pomeroy Drive

2. GREENHOUSE SPEC — Bay count, column count, rafter count, purlin

count, glass cassette count, knee wall length,

slope geometry, U-value, SHGC, gutter run,

downspout count, vent count — full spec sheet

3. ENERGY ANALYSIS — Kansas City climate data, solar geometry at

39.15°N, winter heat gain vs. loss, summer

overheating risk, thermal mass calculation,

annual kWh savings, recommended Low-E spec

4. COST ESTIMATE — Line-item greenhouse construction budget: slab,

Al frame, glazing, CMU knee wall, flashing,

gutters, electrical, hydronic heat, planting,

permits + 15% contingency. ROI analysis vs.

current listing price.

5. PERMIT DATA — Wyandotte County / Kansas City KS permit

checklist, impervious coverage analysis, IECC

2021 glazing requirements, egress compliance

notes, and recommended consultants

6. STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS — ASCE 7-22 gravity, seismic (Site Class D), and

wind load summary. Base shear, roof uplift, soil

bearing pressure, GH rafter span calc

7. LANDSCAPE DESIGN — Five planting zones with species lists, orchard

plan, rain garden sizing, irrigation zones,

rainwater harvesting calculation

8. SUSTAINABILITY SCORE — HERS Index estimate, solar PV potential (kW +

kWh/year), carbon footprint, LEED for Homes

checklist, stormwater runoff analysis, water

balance calculation

9. CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE — Phase-by-phase build timeline: earthwork,

footings, slab, CMU, Al frame, glazing, flashing,

MEP, site works, commissioning. Labour hours and

contractor selection criteria.

10. GREENHOUSE SPEC (Detailed) — Full wrap-around greenhouse bill of

quantities and system description

All ten reports update live as you change your CFG parameters.

─────────────────────────────

ZERO SETUP — AUTO-WIRES ITSELF

─────────────────────────────

Paste the script into a C# component, give it 3 inputs and 10 outputs, and it

self-configures on the first solve:

• All input and output sockets are automatically renamed and described

• All inputs are marked Optional — the script runs with nothing wired

• Default output: House Type 0, LOD 4, full greenhouse, at world origin

No manual parameter setup. No TargetParameterCountException. No confusion

about which wire goes where. It just works.

─────────────────────────────

RISING-EDGE BAKE TO RHINO

─────────────────────────────

Connect a Boolean Toggle to the Bake input. Flip it once — geometry bakes.

Flip it back and forth — it only bakes on the false-to-true transition, never

on a sustained true state. You stay in control of when geometry lands in Rhino.

Every object is placed on its named layer with its render material source set

to "from layer," so your scene stays clean and renderable every time.
