    Grasshopper is a parametric design tool integrated with Rhino 3D that uses visual scripting methods to build models and control variations using a small set of parameters. The goal of parametric modeling is to quickly generate modifications and variations while automating repeated modeling tasks. Grasshopper extends the modeling environment through plugins for analysis, paneling, and fabrication. Key concepts include creating and editing geometry through chained component nodes that represent the model's logic, with the ability to create variations by parameterizing inputs. The first step to create any model is to determine the chain of commands.

    GRASSHOPPER

    Grasshopper is aprametric design tool integrated with rhino


    3d model.

    Uses visual scripting methods


    To build modelling and be able to control variations using
    small set of parameters

    Goal of parametric modelling = is to generate modifications


    and variations quickly and automate repeated modelling
    tasks.

    Extend modelling enviorment through plugins= analysis ,


    paneling and fabrication

    David ruttens( author of grasshopper) for starting material to


    learn grasshopper.

    Scripting logic
    Geometry
    KEY CONCEPTS
    3 key concepts
    Geometry creation and editing Commands are contained
    inside nodes called components

    Models are created by chaining the components that make


    up the model logic

    Ability to create model variations by turning inputs to the


    parameters.

    THE FIRST STEP TO CREATE ANY MODEL = FIGURE OUT THE


    STEPS OR CHAIN OF COMMANDS

    CREATING LOFT SURFACE FOR THE BASE


     THE LOFT SURFACE GOES THROUGH CIRCLES
     CIRCLE ARE CREATED AROUD POINTS
     POINTS ARE LOCTAED ALONG A LINE ANCHORED AT
    SOME LOCATION
     CAN TURN ANY INPUT INTO A PARAMETER TO CREATE
    YOUR MODEL VARIATION.
