We first posted the Contour Tool back in June 2010 and it’s time for an update:

By selecting a surface in Grasshopper, the original definition sped up the process for creating laser cut physical models. But at the beginning of projects, we’re almost always dealing with a mesh, as either a toposurface from Revit or geometry from Sketchup. This updated definition works with surfaces,…

A definition to approximate a lamella truss system. Needs only a surface input. Used it to do a studio project.

hallo People,

I am trying to get a diagram from several formulas. Attached is only first steps of a huge process.

Input 1 has several numbers and input 2 with one input. The output for both input is the same! how can have several output if i have several inputs (each input has its own output). I couldn't manage to make it. any hint?

The output is highlighted in green. The problem is highlighted in RED

Thanks in…

any idea how to make the division (u, v) straight? i i have a square/rectangle suface its fine, but if i have a trapizoidal shape then one side is bigger then the other size is smaller (with same no's. of division)

Hi everybody.

can anyone help me and give me advice's on how to connect grasshopper directly to the web so designing in GH using the web could be possible. i mean think that we have a web site and want to show some of our designs to our viewers and want to give this ability to them to change some parts of this design however they want, only by the web...

is there any plug-in or related software that can do such kind of a work or not?

Thanx
