Contriver Node Atlas Contriver Node Atlas turns a Fusion design into a readable, interactive node graph — helping you understand, inspect, edit, and reuse the parametric structure inside your model.In v1.1.0, Node Atlas moves beyond visualization. You can now edit supported feature parameters directly from the graph, ...

Here’s a closer look at Node Atlas.

Fusion is the geometric ex*****on layer. Node Atlas is the design logic layer.

It maps the relationships between parameters, sketches, features, bodies, and components into a live interactive graph, making complex models easier to understand, navigate, and modify.

Version 1.1.0 is being .pkgd for launch.

Node Atlas has been Approved for Autodesk Fusion Add-in Market Place! 🚨🔔

Working away at turning the 0.9.0 Beta into the 1.0.0 release! Feature possibilities have emerged for later integration and as always, we approach that bottom up.

Attendees of my Electric Guitar Design course this summer will receive the updated version before we start our session!

There are a few seats left, if you are interested in not only how designs function, but what they consist of, sign up and let’s talk about it.

More details pending release on the entirety of this project, this is just a node in an ambitious project.

———

“…based on the assumption that physical clarity cannot be achieved in a form until there is first some programmatic clarity in the designers mind and actions;

and that for this to be possible, in turn, the designer must first trace his design problem to its earliest functional origins and be able to find some sort of pattern in them.

I shall try to outline a general way of stating design problems which draws attention to these functional origins, and makes their pattern reasonably easy to see.”

Notes on the Synthesis of Form

Hello! 👋

I went looking into the poetic and methodical side of this work—the systems; the rules that generate rather than just shape.

What emerged is a beautiful discipline, older than the tools we use to compute it.

Computational Design / Lutherie

An approach to design in which mathematical relationships, and parametric systems govern decisions of form, proportion, and structure as primary drivers.

This summer I am hosting a live event to integrate this way of thinking into real workflows.

Seats are intentionally limited to maintain live feedback and iteration depth.

This is a foundational course—whether you’re a beginner in starting clean, or an advance user looking to refine the process, there is something here at every level.

No prior parametric experience required—only familiarity with Fusion is helpful.

Attendees will leave with a fully structured instrument model and repeatable workflow for designing within a controlled system.

It is structured as a 3-weekend intensive, followed by a one weekend break, and a final 4th weekend roundtable for review, catch-up & clarification.

Course Includes:
- Node Atlas & Fret Engine Fusion Add-ins
- Session Recordings
- Indexing+Material Reference Guides
- Print copy of “How Decisions Propagate”
- One Hour Session of After Support

Held Live via Zoom
