As part of the ACADIA 2015 Hackathon, Ramon van der Heijden at Front Inc and I developed a way to send arbitrary Grasshopper snippets to another instance of Grasshopper (on a local or remote machine). This can be used to push the computation to another machine, allowing you to continue editing the definition, then the output of your snippet will be pushed back when the computation has completed on the remote machine. Alternatively, you can store snippets in data keys and instantiate them as…

Il workshop avanzato ECOLOGIC PATTERNS affronta l’utilizzo di strategie parametriche all’interno del processo progettuale, approfondendo l’utilizzo di Grasshopper in sinergia con plug-ins, software di analisi ambientale e simulazione fisica. Obiettivo fondamentale è la…

Hi all,

some users reported that it is increasingly difficult to get access to numpy/scipy in IronPython on a 64-bit machine. It used to be simple on a 32-bit one. While hoping for the best from …

Hey all! 

Speckle is an easy way to share 3D grasshopper-generated snippets (as long as they can be converted to a mesh, hehe). 

It's really easy to use (you plugin meshes in a component, you double click it - now wait a few seconds, depending on the size & internet connection speed - and you get a sharable link): …

There is always some useful shortcuts which can make the design process easier! I often find out that Grasshopper uses these shortcuts in a smart way. Here are some which I thought can be useful!

1- Point to Plane: makes a "XY" plane with the point as its origin

2- Plane to Point : Extracts the…

Introduction…

Grasshopper by default allows you to save individual components and clusters as "user objects," which can be re-used over and over again. However, sometimes you want to save a group of components without clustering them - like a component with pre-defined value lists or sliders attached, or special configurations with plugins like kangaroo, honeybee, or anemone.

The attached script lets you do just that - create a user object that can automatically place multiple components at…

Hey guys, I wanna share you my research about the type of data from PANEL component. For some Chinese who have read my tutorial file 《Grasshopper完全学习手册》may be familiar with this image:

From this I gave an inequation which I didn’t give a proof that time. My guess was that the type of the data was not “integer” but was “string”. Luckily, the inputs of many…

Hello world,

When trying to use the python component, I am receiving the following error:

Runtime error (MissingMethodException): Method not found: 'System.Reflection.MemberInfo[] Microsoft.Scripting.Generation.CompilerHelpers.FilterNonVisibleMembers(System.Type, System.Reflection.MemberInfo[])'.

Traceback (most recent call last):

Hi David. Thanks for your answer. I understand how metaball normally work and the thing you call "negative charges" is identical to what Cinema4D calls "negative influence". In Cinema4D you just need to apply a "tag" to get the result, but how to you get the effect in Rhinoceros or Grasshopper? Is it a property of the rectangle, line or point or is it something else?
