Hoopsnake and Galapagos are 2 very unique tools that can be used in Grasshopper. They both are able to create a floorplan but work very differently to one another.
The use of Hoopsnake focuses on the idea of "packing". For example, if you had a box called A and you had smaller boxes called B, the idea of packing will be to see how many B's can go into A. The iterations will be various combinations that B has formed to fit into A.
Galapagos is a fairly complex evolutionary solver that i have not been able to grasp the concept of it just yet. However the outcome of Galapagos is that i can create floor plans that do not alter depending on the boundary, but is able to be positioned in terms of its relevance. For example, a master bedroom, will always have a bathroom connecting to it, while using hoopsnake, will not take into account room types.
At the moment i think i'll use Hoopsnake, and build my system from there, i do want to be able to use Galapagos though.
