TopologicSverchok

TopologicSverchok is a Sverchok implementation of Topologic which is a software modelling library enabling hierarchical and topological representations of architectural spaces, buildings and artefacts through non-manifold topology. Sverchok (https://github.com/nortikin/sverchok). Sverchok is a powerful parametric tool for architects, allowing geometry to be programmed visually with nodes.
