Docofossor by Mathias Bernhard and Ilmar Hurkxkens is a terrain modeling plugin for Rhino 6 + Grasshopper. It enables easy editing of cut and fill operations for landscape architecture. Docofossor focuses on parametric transformations of a digtial terrain model by point, path, area or surface on a digital terrain model (DTM).

The collection of computational modeling components operate on a regular grid in 2.5D using distance functions. It is developed to model cut and fill operations by a robotic excavator in digital landscape fabrication. Docofossor’s data structure is based on a single list that defines a regular spaced quad grid from topographic data.

It is using IronPython within Rhino Grasshopper to make the calculations. Because of this it is not optimised for performance (but it is easy to install). The components are separated in categories in the Grasshopper toolbar.

For now, there are seven categories comprising I/O, Grid, Operations Relative, Operations Absolute, Generative, Analysis, and Geometry. Docofossor is written in Python and free to use (MIT License).

This paper by Alessandro Liuti, Sofia Colabella, and Alberto Pugnale, presents the construction of Airshell, a small timber gridshell prototype erected by employing a pneumatic formwork.

In this paper by Gregory Charles Quinn, Chris J K Williams, and Christoph Gengnagel, a detailed comparison is carried out between established as well as novel erection methods for strained grid shells by means of FE simulations and a 3D-scanned scaled physical model in order to evaluate key performance criteria such as bending stresses during erection and the distance between shell nodes and their spatial target geometry.

In this paper by Frederic Tayeb, Olivier Baverel, Jean-François Caron, Lionel du Peloux, ductility aspects of a light-weight composite gridshell are developed.
