Welcome to the documentation for the Urban Network Analysis toolbox for Rhino, developed by the City Form Lab at MIT. The UNA Rhino toolbox offers powerful methods for analyzing pedestrian and bicycle mobility over two- and three-dimensional networks in cities. Specific tools are available for measuring spatial accessibility (unaSolveCentrality), estimating pedestrian or bicycle flows over networks (unaPatronageBetweennes), finding facility service areas over networks (unaServiceArea), finding closest facilities over networks (unaClosestFacility), predicting facility patronage along spatial networks (unaFindPatronage), detecting locations where network routes to destinations are frustratingly longer than straight-line distances (unaSolveStraightness), generating route alternatives for pedestrian route choice analysis (unaRedundantPaths) or forecasting the effects of pedestrian and bike infrastructure improvements on non-motorized access and flow. Network travel costs can either account for travel length or use custom, user-defined edge costs to account for variable route qualities (unaAddNCurves). To enable seamless workflows between UNA Rhino, GIS, Excel, R, or other table and geospatial data editors, various import-export functions can be used: unaImportGeometry, unaImportPoints, unaExportGEOJSON and unaJoinAttribute.
After downloading, drag and drop the .rhi installer file into an open Rhino window. Once installed, restart Rhino and go to Tools > Toolbars and check the box next to the UNA Toolbar, click “OK” to close the Toolbar window. You should see the UNA toolbar appear in Rhino. You can type unaVersionon the command line to check you have succssfully installed UNA Version 7.12.11.12 R7SR12. ****See the UNA installation tutorial video here.
This site offers documentation about the UNA Rhino toolbox. The GUI is divided into five sections, which are visually divided by small vertical lines in the toolbar. See relevant documentation for each section at the blue links below:
