Monoceros
A plug-in for Rhino and Grasshopper that assembles spatial designs from parts and rules. Monoceros brings discrete assembly into a working design environment.
What it does
You model a small kit of parts and state which faces may connect. The Wave Function Collapse solver fills a space of any shape with arrangements that keep every rule.
Every result follows the rules you wrote. You change a part, a rule or the space, solve again and compare. The design decisions stay with you.
- Runs in
- Rhino 7 or later with Grasshopper, on Windows and macOS
- Licences
- Free tier with limited solver runs. Annual licence $149 or lifetime licence $399 per seat. Education licence $49 per year, subject to eligibility.
- Used for
- Buildings, terraces, interiors, urban studies, furniture and objects
How it works
- 01
Define the parts
Model the geometry of each part and define its place in the kit.
- 02
Write the rules
Specify which faces can connect and how parts meet the boundary.
- 03
Generate & check
Run the solver and check the resulting arrangement against the rules.
- 04
Review the design
Review the arrangement against the design brief and revise the kit where needed.

Custom Monoceros development
Your project may need a different interface, its own parts, or a connection to an existing workflow. We scope those needs with you.
A specialised implementation is a custom development engagement. Its capabilities and support are agreed for your project.
