Speckle has launched Design Explorer beta, a new widget for Speckle Intelligence dashboards that turns Grasshopper option studies into browsable and shareable comparison views. The workflow is deliberately lightweight: tag option objects in Grasshopper, attach the relevant numeric properties, publish the model to Speckle, and the dashboard discovers the options and metrics automatically.
Design Explorer provides a grid view with live model thumbnails, a parallel coordinates chart for comparing trade-offs across metrics, and a detail view with an isolated 3D viewer and properties for the selected option. That makes it easier to expose the whole option space to engineers, project leads, and clients without rebuilding screenshots, spreadsheets, or presentation decks each time the Grasshopper definition changes.
The feature is aimed at the recurring gap in computational design: generating lots of options is easy enough, but making those options legible to people outside the script is the harder part. Design Explorer beta is available now as a widget in Speckle Intelligence dashboards for teams already publishing Grasshopper models to Speckle.
