Morphocode have been invited to present their work to the Master of Digital Architecture class at the IUAV, Venice, Italy. The two-day intensive workshop is scheduled for February 2012. The Master program is still recruiting participants so check out their page for more information about the course.…

Grasshopper users have all kinds of simulation tools at their disposal... however, I have yet to see an attempt at integrating energy simulation tools with Grasshopper... so here is a 'weekend warrior' study which links Grasshopper to EnergyPlus.

Here's the definition - easier than it looks actually. Link to the obligatory wikipedia article is here.

Also here's a definition for a version that takes an arbitrary base curve for input (in this case an ellipse for simplicity. By using a curve component one can also start with any…

Version 0.066 of Kangaroo is now available:

This should now be compatible with Grasshopper 0.8.0051

One of the new additions is the hinge force, which allows you to control the angle between any pair of connected triangles (The angle is measured in the plane normal to their common edge, so you can control the direction)

If the rest angle…

I Was making a cluster, and while I saved, something happened.  Now I can't see the top bar with all components.
Someone can help me? My version is the last one!

Basically just me noodling around trying to learn how to make c# libs talk to GH (thanks to Dave R for the 5 mins tute some months back!!!). This is a simple implementation of a marching cube algorithm I had previously developed for Processing (Java coded in Eclipse). I have also recently ported this to python in Rhino5 to avoid GH, but I am still to…

Hey all - just added a post documenting my GH work for the artist Sarah Oppenheimer. Check it out here!

We are pleased to share a new suite of Primers for Parametric Design with Grasshopper, including new information on Lists, Data Trees, and more! This suite is the first module for the modeLab Parametric Design Curriculum. Come learn this and a series of applied exercises with us at our next workshop!

Hi, I would like apply Vornoi, Delaunay or a grid in that surface, If someone know how i could do this in the surface I would appreciate it.

When I 've tried i can't get it.…

Ever wonder which numbers in the core Fibonacci sequence are divisible by each other?

notice the precise diagonals that they create in the grid...

so amazing....

Hey I am a beginner and I have two questions:

1.- I want to change de order of the numbers in a polyline I have devided in order to be easier to relate them for the next step in my process.
2.- I want to creat a polyline from those conected points (A1,B1,C1,D1)

Thanks a lot.

Hey all - 

While working on a project I came upon the need to do some unit conversion within GH, so I decided to write a script to handle this. I've attached it as a user object. It takes two strings, defining the input and output unit systems, in the form of "mm" or "in^2" or "yd^3" etc. It will then output the necessary conversion factor. It also optionally accepts a list of values, and will convert them for you if they are present. 

A word of caution: I…

Hi! I'd like to show the pavillon system that we developed and calculated with geometry's ssi tool and sofistik as part of our master thesis. In the video the fomfinding process and the connection between grasshopper and sofistik is explained. We then exported the cutting areas and build a mock-up in the scale 1:2 of one column.

I made a new plug in : RhinoBlocktree, a block manager for Rhino.You can save several properties for each block inside the Rhino Model, and analyse volumes and quantitiesYou can find it at the "RhinoForYou" website :…
