ABOUT THIS VOLUME
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The Most Popular and Rich Series of Grasshopper Scripts is the definitive
collection of parametric architectural models generated by Claude AI for
Wickerson Studios. Each volume delivers a complete, production-ready
Grasshopper C# script with geometry, analysis, and documentation that
would take an architect weeks to produce manually.
Vol. 1 features a real Kansas City property — 3930 Pomeroy Drive, Nearman
Hills — with a full wrap-around lean-to greenhouse retrofit, three selectable
house designs, and ten live analysis text outputs covering everything from
ASCE 7-22 structural loads to a 5-zone landscape planting plan.

GREENHOUSE CORRIDOR — ALL 3 HOUSE TYPES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The wrap-around lean-to greenhouse attaches to the east, north, and west
walls of whichever house type is selected. It adjusts automatically to
the house footprint via CFG parameters.
Per bay the model generates:
Al I-section columns (flanges + web) at house wall + outer eave
Diagonal piped rafter (wall at 9 ft to outer eave at 6.5 ft)
2 C-channel purlins at 1/3 and 2/3 of slope
3 thermopane dual-pane cassettes (outer + 12mm spacer + inner)
Outer vertical glass panel above knee wall
8 in. CMU knee wall (4 courses, bond offset, coping cap)
3-step ridge flashing at wall junction
Half-round gutter + square downspouts
Operable vent boxes every other bay
L-corner pilasters with glazed corner panels at NE + NW junctions
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
CFG PARAMETER REFERENCE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Wire a Panel to CFG. Semicolon-separated. All values in FEET.
HouseType can also be set via CFG: "houseType=2"
lod=1..5 Detail level (default 3; use 4 for full detail)
houseType=0..2 House design (overridden by HouseType input if wired)
frontW=55 House E-W width
depth=36 House N-S depth
wallH=9 Plate height
roofPitch=4 Rise per 12 run
overhang=2 Eave overhang
garageW=22 Garage width
garageD=24 Garage depth
ghW=8 Greenhouse corridor width
ghSillH=6.5 GH outer eave height
ghBay=6 GH column bay spacing
driveLen=50 Driveway length

QUICK EXAMPLES
"lod=4"
"houseType=1;lod=4" Craftsman at full detail
"houseType=2;frontW=65;depth=44" Farmhouse, larger footprint
"ghW=10;ghSillH=7;ghBay=8" Wide greenhouse, taller eave
"houseType=0;lod=4;ghW=6;ghBay=4" Ranch, compact greenhouse
