Yes, it's a free plugin available for Grasshopper.

What does LunchBox add to Grasshopper?

Panelization tools, data structure utilities, and spreadsheet import/export for parametric projects.

What is LunchBox and what does it do in Grasshopper?

LunchBox is a Grasshopper plugin providing components for surface paneling, geometric pattern generation, mathematical shape creation and data management. It is widely used in computational architecture for designing paneled facades, complex geometric patterns and parametric tiling systems across curved or irregular surfaces. At PAACADEMY, it is featured in over 20 courses spanning urban design, facade design and fabrication.

What will I learn in PAACADEMY's AI City Urban Design course?

AI City Urban Design in Grasshopper and ComfyUI by Albert Sumin teaches parametric city geometry design using Grasshopper and LunchBox; AI visual generation using ComfyUI for architectural concepts and urban imagery; and how to combine both workflows into a single integrated AI and parametric design pipeline. The course runs 16 hours across 24 beginner-level lessons.

Is LunchBox suitable for beginners in Grasshopper?

LunchBox is accessible to designers at multiple levels. At PAACADEMY, it appears in beginner courses like AI City Urban Design alongside more advanced computational design workshops. Its paneling and pattern components produce results with relatively straightforward input, making it a practical tool for designers building Grasshopper skills alongside real design projects.
