This exercise was to get familiar with basic components their functioning in grasshopper such as Box 2pt , Rotate ,Series and Move.

Tools Used: Box 2pt, Rotate, Move, Series.

Day 2 | Introduction to Grasshopper
Box created using Box 2pt.
Day 2 | Introduction to Grasshopper
Rotation of the geometry in XY plane. The axis of rotation is 0,0,0, coordinates.
Day 2 | Introduction to Grasshopper
Rotation of the geometry in the YZ plane. The axis of rotation is the centroid of the geometry.
Day 2 | Introduction to Grasshopper
Creating an array of geometry using series command. Angle of rotation between each consecutive unit is the same.

Software used: Rhino6 , Grasshopper

The exercise was on generating triangulated frames/panels from a doubly curved surface. The surface was created in rhino and assigned to grasshopper. The surface is then divided into smaller units using isotrim .Furthermore, any three vertices of  the subdivided models were connected to create triangulated surfaces by using the 4pt surface. The curves from the triangulated surfaces were offset. The offset curves and base curves are lofted to create a surface between these curves. Finally, the surface is extruded.

Tools Used: Curve, Loft, Isotrim, Deconstruct brep, Join curve, 4pt surface, offset curve, Sort List, Amplitude, Extrude.
