As promised last week, Autodesk Research has now posted v0.2 of our Space Analysis package to the Dynamo Package Manager. This version contains nodes for pathfinding as well as for visibility analysis. Both implementations work via a common SpaceLattice object – basically a 2D grid with diagonal connections – that can be used to drive both algorithms. In reality you may end up having multiple lattices – as pathfinding may be working with “barriers” that don’t affect visibility – but the node you need to use is the same.
We had posted a previous version with just pathfinding, but as we introduced visibility we realised we had to move and rename some nodes to make a release that should be more stable in the long-term (in terms of API compatibility). Here are the release notes for the various changes in the 0.2 release:
Changed
- Renamed PathLattice to SpaceLattice, and moved it from Pathfinding into Core namespace.
- Renamed PathLattice.Create to…
