Portia.

Turn axis curves into adaptive graphs instantly.
Manipulate the grid and extract values.

A widely adaptable open-source Rhino Grasshopper C# plugin to model grid-like structures: roof grids, steel and timber structures, tensile membranes. This is an expanding log of experiments and updates.

Release Lite 1.0

Portia 1.0 is now live on Food4Rhino! An exhaustive example set and an introductory PDF arrives attached to the first stable build.

Release 1.1

The second version of Portia is released with more examples, flexibility, data unpacking, feature addition and a bonus Amalgamation (graph merge) task.

Bálint Füzes working — architect & coder combining design and algorithms

Bálint Füzes

MSc Architect & Software Developer

I’m Bálint Füzes, MSc Architect and certified software developer. I support architect and engineering teams with modeling and computation - usually at the construction-near phase of projects.

My focus is the harmonious interplay of geometry and algorithms - to expand work-in-progress designs into logically lightweight, yet highly-detailed, fabrication-ready models.

Who is this for?

Architect and civil engineering teams who need geometry taken from design intent to construction-ready precision. The scale and type of structure don't matter — what matters is the task: expanding designst oward permit, fabrication and execution plans. If your team is at the point where the geometry step-by-step needs to become exact, traceable, and buildable, that's where this fits.

How does collaboration work?

As a flexible back office, on-demand. You stay focused on the project itself — I look at what the geometry actually requires at that phase and we find the right setup together: fully remote, in-house, project-based, a longer partnership, or anything between. You keep full project authority, authorship, and IP. The overhead of adding this capacity is as low as it gets.

Do I need to understand code or parametrics?

Not at all. Coding is my own background toolset — it's what guarantees dimensional and geometric validation behind every model, and what accelerates delivery across projects. Your team never touches the underlying logic. You get the output: clean, construction-ready geometry that's been checked programmatically, not just visually.

Can I get custom code or tools for my team?

Yes, and it happens quite often as a regular part of my work. I build components that teams use in-house — document automation, viewport logic, parametric validators, project-specific solvers. The code is always built for zero coding knowledge on your end and always has documentation and prepared examples. In such cases you get nodes anchored to exactly what the workflow needs based on preliminary mindmaps I always create as an overview. They are ready to use without you needing to understand what's inside them.
