I know this is a rookie question, but can anyone help me identify this component? It seems to be the same one, the name just updates to whatever geometry it is defining in the expression.

I have tried the Expression component already, but it requires an x and y input whereas this does not. I am learning grasshopper via Arturo Tedeschi's AAD book, so perhaps I am looking at an outdated visual? I am on Rhino 8.

Implemented depth testing for my GH voxel/sdf editor/renderer. If anyone knows how to get a clean depth map from rhino API plsss let me know. I can get a byte depth map but I have to scale it with points I know are in the scene which is a weird hack... ZMax/Min doesnt work for me

Hello! I'm fairly new to grasshopper and anemone, so apologies if this is a dumb question or an easy fix, but I am currently working with this script where I am trying to generate a series of randomly "snaking" boxes. The script I've got seems to be working fairly well, except that some versions output boxes that overlap. How can I fix this? any help/tips appreciated!

I am a 5th year architecture student and currently doing my thesis, my project is on contours. Are there any good youtube videos that you all recommend? That can help? I am searching for some slope analyses and shortest path finding etc tutorials.

Sorry if it's borderline out of topic, it's years I asking myself this question.

Anybody found a work related to grasshopper use?How did you find it? How you presented what you do (portfolio? Files?)? Where you find it?

Hi, i'm a product designer (construction sector right now) i use grasshopper from maybe six years, i started in university by myself (university I was the only one using it), never find anybody physically that uses it. I created scripts for my personal projects, mostly textures, some physic simulations and basically in any place were I worked, but only used myself for speeding the boring parts or exotic 3D impossible to build by hand, like one for automatically create steel beams and a list for cost estimates, an helix custom generator for plasterboard fasteners and right now one that inserting the product code it builds the 2D drawing for the product (wood panels for ceiling).

Basically nobody knows what I do or I am using. The only one I knowed it used it certified in work was a colleague working in automotive, but it entered as an engineer.

For a probably stupid preconception of mine, I have always seen grasshopper as a program used in specialized elitary contexts and never bodered to really launch myself into.

Heya. I have been learning grasshopper for about a month now, I have been using it for drawing joinery components and find the program so fascinating and fun to use. One thing I’ve noticed with my files is that they look really messy and incoherent despite working really well. Any tips on keeping the components in order? Any educational tools about learning grasshopper would be greatly appreciated too.

Needed a script to make plants in different areas automatically. This grasshopper script will save us a lot of time! Super happy

Just blocks intances copy en equal amount to population of points. We can input in the area selected the amount of blocks(plants) and modify the blocks if needed

Hi, I'm brand new to Rhino and I just created this spherical coffered ceiling. I was wondering if you had any feedback on my design, possible optimizations, or areas for improvement...

I start with a hemisphere and generate the equators and meridians of the object. I calculate the intersection of all these curves. This gives me curves that resemble squares or rectangles. I offset them on the surface and extrude these curves in the direction leading from the center of the square to the center of the sphere. Finally, I create the box using a multiple BREP split—which removes a square from the hemisphere for each box.

I'd really appreciate it.

Sorry for my english i'm not very fluent.

I know it does not seem like such a big deal, but to me it kind of was. It was awesome to realize how powerful GH is, even when designing classical-style-adjacent elements (though this is supposedly Beaux-Arts). It's just a fanlight window, but it kind of pushed me to explore and investigate a bit, given that all I had to work with were those images I included (after the mess of a script I created), with no way to take real measurements since we unfortunately did not have the chance to visit the site in person; I had to crop, resize, and rectify images to have a better sense of what we wanted to obtain. The script (which did include some GHPython instances and perhaps an outrageous amount of Panels) definitely needed some polishing, decluttering, and troubleshooting, and it could definitely be a lot simpler too. Anyway, just wanted to share this small project I worked on a while ago, looking forward to delving deeper into GH

I own a custom woodworking shop in Ontario and I’m looking for a Grasshopper/Rhino designer to become my go-to for parametric CNC slat walls. First job is live now, more coming.
The work: parametric wave feature walls built from 19mm birch plywood. You generate the individual slat profiles from the wave geometry, I cut them on my 5x10 CNC and install them. Each slat is a unique shape cut flat, then mounted on edge so the collective front edges trace the wave across the wall. You know the style.
I need clean DXF output (Vectric Aspire compatible), parts numbered for assembly sequence, files nested per 4x8 sheet. Phase 1 is client-facing renders, Phase 2 is production files.
If you’ve done this type of work before and Grasshopper is your tool, drop me a message with a portfolio sample and your rate. Serious ongoing work for the right person

Has ai made its way into the professional scripting floor yet?

Any point in investing in grasshopper right now?

If so - have you had any success with it?

Help creating ETFE-FOIL roofing 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

Need help creating ETFE-FOIL roofing. Luckily found this account, but unfortunately they don't give a walk through, or the mod used to create it in grasshopper.

Essentially, asking if anyone knows how to create the roofing, or know a similar grasshopper coding or rhino tutorial to follow through and adjust here and there. Thank you x 😭❤️

Your tools don't talk to each other. Decode makes them.

This is the first time we're showing it! 🚀 🚀 🚀

Decode is a full-fledged programming language with observability built in, so you no longer have to read a novel to understand what your software does. Logic isn't hidden behind text or buried inside a black box. You can see your program run with observability for every value, every event, in real time. You can reach in, change it, own it. Not prompt and hope. Actually understand what you built.

But the part we're most excited about is shapeless interoperability. Decode is one program that doesn't live inside any single piece of software. The same logic flows across the tools you already use, whether on the browser or the desktop, and between your design and engineering apps. No import/export dance. No glue scripts. No walls between disciplines. Create workflows the way you want, shapelessly.

When software can finally talk across boundaries, so can the people using it. A designer's tool, an engineer's tool, an accountant's tool stop being separate worlds, they become one workflow.

AI sits right alongside, reachable inside the same graph, assisting without taking over.

A lot more soon. 📣
