Parametric design and output

1. 1. Introduction to Grasshopper

   Grasshopper lets you design with rules instead of fixed geometry. Build your first parametric definitions and learn the core ideas: components, data flow, lists and trees.

   • • Understand components, parameters and wires
   • • Build a parametric definition with sliders
   • • Work with lists and understand data trees

2. 2. Drawings and fabrication output

   Models must become drawings and parts. Learn Rhino’s tools for 2D drawings, sections and layouts, and for preparing geometry for laser cutting, CNC and 3D printing.

   • • Create 2D line drawings with Make2D
   • • Use clipping planes and section tools
   • • Set up layouts with scaled details
