semio is an open ecosystem for component-based design of architecture. The decomposition of a design by a graph enables a collaborative, scalable and cross-platform design process. Instead of 3D-blobs, proprietary or documentary file formats from which it is difficult to extract individual parts, the heart of semio consists of an open data model. All components can be easily shared, searched and reused. Unlike existing data models, not every design is squeezed into a handful of standard types such as floors, walls or windows. Instead, individual, complex and flexible types can be defined and freely combined via a generalized port mechanism.

semio has currently two user-interfaces: a server which runs locally ([portable windows program](https://github.com/usalu/semio/releases/download/2.0/semio.zip)) and a Grasshopper user-interface.

The local server needs no installation. Just unpack the folder and run it. When it runs, you should see a system tray icon.
> NOTE: It doesn't run? `semio.exe` might be blocked by Windows, or a custom Firewall because the binary is not signed yet. Otherwise if you receive an error message about a missing file, module, package or folder, then it is most likely that some files were not correctly unzipped. Reasons for this can be too long paths, synchronized folders, etc. Try unzipping it in a flat folder like C:\ and copy it to the target destination afterwards.
