Plugins

Geodesignhub adopts a "batteries included" ethos where the tool itself is designed to be as lightweight as possible and the functionality is extended via a sophisticated plugin architecture. The plugin architecture supports common geospatial data formats and is compatible with external models, data generation and analysis tools. Below is a list of models, utilities and plugins that are compatible with Geodesignhub and have been extensively used and tested.

If you think of a feature or utility that can be helpful for the workflow and other users, you can use the API to write your own plugin that utilizes data from the site or let us know!
