Hypar

tiered subscription Design the Building

Cloud-based, code-first generative design and space-planning platform where architects and engineers build, share, and run custom parametric "Functions" via an open-source C# BIM SDK (Elements) and CLI, plus a space-planning product (Hypar Space) for rapid test-fit and layout generation, exporting to Revit, IFC, and glTF.

3.8 /5 composite score

Open-source, actively-maintained (near-daily GitHub commits through July 2026) generative-design SDK/CLI with transparent per-seat pricing, native Revit/Rhino/Grasshopper/Dynamo integrations, and open IFC/glTF export, backed by real enterprise customers (DPR Construction, Obayashi, Unispace).
