Unlock the efficiency of parametric design for your entire design team.
No Grasshopper experience required.
A structured script library for your entire design team.
No Grasshopper experience required.
Make parametric design efficiency available to your entire design team. No more lone-wolf spaghetti code somewhere on the server nobody understands.
- Plug-and-Play for new Grasshopper users — If you can drag a slider, you can design. Quickstart guide included.
Here's how facet works:
Find the facade framework you need in the facet design hub
Use the facet design hub to filter readymade Grasshopper scripts by façade type, complexity, or pattern.
2
Name the surface “facet-facade” to apply the script
Apply the script to any surface in Rhino using Grasshopper. Drag the sliders to customize your design.
3
Bake directly onto structured Rhino Layers with materials pre-applied.
Bake the geometry to the correct layers, ready for drawings, renders, or Revit.

The facet design hub.
Forget digging through the folder structure of a project from 7 years ago only to find outdated, broken scripts. Facet gives you a up-to-date, visual library of production-ready facade scripts.
Use powerful filters to find the exact script you need by typology, complexity, or aesthetic.
Quickly find the framework you need or get inspired.
Robust scripts built for real-world design workflows.
Say goodbye to definitions that require complicated setups. The only input you need is a Surface– facet will do the rest. Our professionally developed scripts work on:
- Surfaces
- Polysurfaces
- Polysurfaces with trims and openings
- Single or Multiple Inputs
Supported Inputs:
Skip the complex setup and get straight to designing
Use the intuitive sliders to sculpt the form, refine the rhythm, and create an infinite number of variations. Go from a simple base to a design that is uniquely suited to your project. You are the designer; you’re just working with superpowers.

What's Inside?
Your creative potential is no longer limited by your modeling speed. Our library is the ultimate design sandbox. Each of the base scripts is a robust starting point, giving you the power to generate countless original designs through simple parameter adjustments.
| Family | Examples | Typical use-case |
|---|---|---|
| Regular grids | Unitized curtain wall, expressed mullions | Corporate towers, fit-out studies |
| Tessellated panels | Triangle, diamond | Museums, civic envelopes |
| Organic skins | Gradients, point-attractors, cells | Competitions, WOW renders |
| Adaptive shading | Vertical fins, louvers | Net-zero studies, LEED daylight sims |
| Specialty panels | Shingles, folded metal, deep reveals | Boutique hotels, cultural projects |
FAQs
Get answers to the most common questions about Facet.
What happens if we cancel?
Without an active license you lose portal access, new script drops, and the rights to apply definitions on future projects.
Future updates?
New facade scripts are added quarterly. Reach out if you would like to see specific designs and they’ll be added to the roadmap.
Do I need advanced Grasshopper skills?
No. If you can reference a surface and move a slider, you’re set.
A Quickstart Guide with step-by-step instructions for first-time Grasshopper users is included.
Do we get the raw GHX?
Absolutely. The definitions are neatly grouped and fully editable. You own the definitions for internal projects; redistribution or resale isn’t allowed.
Are any Grasshopper plugins required for the scripts to work?
All scripts work out-of-the-box with your default Rhino installation – no additional plugins necessary!
We’re Revit/BIM-heavy—can we still use it?
Yes. Script outputs clean geometry you can push through Evolve, Rhino.Inside, or IFC round-trip.
What version of Rhino/Grasshopper do I need?
Rhino 8
Can I use the scripts for commercial projects?
Yes!
I'm a Grasshopper Poweruser, is this useful for me?
Dive straight into creative logic—our scripts are the solid base you’ve always rewritten from scratch.
How is this different from AI image generators like Midjourney?
- You get fully editable 3D geometry, not a flat JPG
- One slider tweak gives infinite controlled variants—no prompt roulette
- Clean NURBS bake straight into Rhino-Inside or IFC, ready for detailing
