Grasshopper Tutorial for Beginners | Vase Design | Rhino

[@tamgaming9861]

What a masterpeace... as a beginner i never would think so complicated or easy. Thanks for sharing it and to learn from.

[@architutors]

Glad you liked it!

[@tamgaming9861]

@@architutorsyes, I did 🙂 Maybe one question. How can I make a more curvy like? We have in Graph Mapper only 2 points for the end diameters and 2 for the roundings from it. But what, let's say I want another curve in the middle? Can I adjust graph mapper in this way, or do I need another graph mapper version of it? Sorry for my bad English.

[@tamgaming9861]

What I also try to understand is, where could I adjust to make this hard edges - the lines which goes up, smoother, were it's just a wave? I study your work - but I don't get it out 🙂

[@zedzed8852]

Manipulating directly on the mesh was INSANE! Maybe I need to study more about it.

[@aal.innovation_aixarchitecture]

Thank you, the script worked perfectly for me.

[@architutors]

Glad to hear that. Thank you.

hello dome is made to make each face flat and print or laser cut thank you

[@firasmahfoudhi6509]

I like how you mentioned that it's for biggeners , I wonder how complex could it get !!😅 Thanks alot, that was really helpful

[@architutors]

Thank you too. We're working on interactive sessions for beginners in grasshopper and rhino and those will be shared on KZbin for free. Stay tuned.

Hello, thank you very much, I understood it very well, however, to send it to print, I don't know how to send them to stl, how do I do it???? 😍

[@architutors]

Thank you. You can simply bake the geometry from grasshopper into rhino and then save the rhino file as stl format. that you can load from any software that you are using for 3d printing that supports stl format.

most difficult software ever made

[@deepak_nigwal]

Well it's not so difficult when you understand that it's based on the idea of following the process simulation as per the physics behind the mathematical model. Which makes it the best visual programming language for designers as well as computational engineers. The video was an absolute delight to watch, yes, the number of steps are more, but the process itself is simple rather than writing 1000 lines of code on fortran or c++ and then banging the head on the walls.

[@katharinatollinger8143]

Thanks a lot for the video! I only got one problem, that at the end the mesh is not connected to the wright points, so it's kind of triangles between the points but no closed mesh... Thanks a lot for your help!

[@Tatepaulson]

For anyone that finds this in the future, you will have the triangle issue if your series and shift nodes are not properly connected to the quad node. Make sure that your connections are exactly as shown in the video starting at 3:40 until your quad node is fully filled out.

[@rishimehta3727]

i am beginner in grasshopper . do you give basics and advance keys points about this software. or make tutorial about it.

[@architutors]

We're working on interactive sessions for grasshopper and rhino for beginners. We'll be uploading them soon in our channel.

Everything is fine up until construct mesh. I get two errors. Data conversion failed from integer to point and insufficient vertices for a mesh. There are no zeros in my graph

[@realhelmi]

nice and thank you but not really tutorial though. Would have loved some explanation to go with it.

[@carolinasilva3109]

Amazing! Thanks for the video

Thank you.

The second curve divide keeps showing an error of 'curve division failed to return any points'. Followed the tutorial exactly, any ideas what's happening here

[@Petitepelin]

hey there, one more question, after finishing the model I want to 3d print so I need an stl file, but when I tried to export model as a stl rhino errors as "the STLl file you are saving is not adequate for creating rapid prototyped parts. " how can I fix that?

[@architutors]

For 3d printing using stli file, the model needs to be a closed geometry. You can use the component 'cap holes' in grasshopper with the geometry to make it into closed geometry, and see if it solves the problem.

[@jacksoni349]

@@architutors Is there a way to make it a polysurface instead of a mesh?

[@AGSanchez1988]

How to do it without a roof? When I export slt file I get a ceiling in the printing program. Could you help me?

[@architutors]

Make sure you're using 'cap holes' component in your script. If the issue still persists you can send it to us at [e-mail]

[@antoine208]

Thank you for this very interesting tutorial. After having tried to understand everything that's going on, I'm having trouble to see what certain nodes do. For example "flatten tree" or "construct mesh" with the vertices and faces. Do you know any websites where all nodes are explained in detail? Also I don't understand the whole part with the "series" nodes: Does the "mesh triangle" correspond to the construction of the flat base of the vase? if I put a panel to see what is in it, I find a list that goes (0,1,1640)etc does this mean it creates a triangular mesh between all these points? that is number 0 being the first point on the original circle, 1 being the second point next to it. But then what does 1640 correspond to, the original point in the center? if this is it how are these points associated to numbers? ( I obtain 1640 with 40 horizontal sections and 40 divisions of circle) Same thing seems to happen with the "quad mesh" but with two adjacent points and two adjacent points on the level above. so what I think I dont understand is why does a number in a series represent a point... Anyway sorry I may have it completely wrong or if you dont understand what I mean :) thank you !

[@architutors]

We will do a webinar that you can go through to understand more about grasshopper components. it will be available on youtube. you can also go to www.grasshopper3d.com/ and look out for some helpful content.

[@ilariapignatti4050]

When I connect "merge" to "construct mesh", there's a warning that says "invalid face encountered, mesh topology may be corrupted"... how can I solve this problem?

[@architutors]

It can happen when the inputs in 'Mesh Quad' component are not correctly placed or basically data flow to those inputs is not correct. So make sure to check again those inputs, as per the algorithm followed in the video. You can also share with us your email ID and we can send you the grasshopper file.

Hi there! I also got this response even though I checked every step over and over again, what would be the problem if I can ask? Also could you send me the file through my e-mail? Thank you! [e-mail]

[@nilsfrey4228]

hi thx for the video, but I have a small problem when I bake it in the end it has only lines and no surface between the lines. Thx a lot:)

[@architutors]

Make sure you bake the output from Construct Mesh plugin and also have shaded or rendered view active in rhino to examine the output. If it still doesn't solve your issue you can reach out to us at [e-mail]

[@vukovic27]

Thank you, great tutorial! Is there a way to make the pattern fade toward the top and the bottom of the vase?

Thank you! Cheers!

[@r.a.8861]

OK. What's the point of the nodes? Why so complex?

[@LazyArquitecto]

Architutors do you have a tutorial explaining how this program can benefit Architecture students?

[@architutors]

We'll sure make a tutorial covering different aspects of working in grasshopper for architecture students. But it's easier to say that it does benefit in design process, making the whole process easier, faster and non-repetitive.

[@LazyArquitecto]

@@architutors Any ideas how Grasshoper and Autocad can work together?

[@architutors]

When it comes to grasshopper we can edit multiple number of geometries in one go. Which is not feasible in CAD. We can design specific components from grasshopper and later import them in CAD. Like sometimes what we do with design projects is that we design the facade in rhino using grasshopper and import them in CAD or sketuhup for further completion.

[@LazyArquitecto]

@@architutors great this is the answer I was looking for. Thank you! By the way hope we can do a collaboration video in the future

[@ganakil]

Doesn't work for me, I get only a "flat" star with really long spikes and some red "boxes" in the script. Everything look correct, connected, check 4 times, repeat 2 times, same result. I don't understand what's wrong! Maybe is Rhino 7? I Did another tutorial from another youtuber and I had no chance again, a red box also there... Is there a downloadable gh. file? thank you!

Same, I tried multiple times but its still edgy

Hey there when ı type slider, it cannot set 10 or 12 it has lower limit 0 upper limit 1 how can I change that

[@jaredurban4243]

directly type the number into grasshopper and it will generate a slider set at that value with default limits. Or right click on the slider with limits 0 to 1 and "edit"

[@ACoupleStoners]

This might be a great tutorial but it's definitely not for beginners. You have no idea why you're doing anything and vital information is left out. Like at 5:26, what is that ring menu that pops up and how do you open it?

[@architutors]

Press the scroll button to open those options.

[@ahmed1hq]

amazing why in Range domain work only from 0 to 1

[@architutors]

You can input any values for domain or range from any number slider. You can also right click on number slider component and from "values" option set minimum and maximum values and "commit to changes". The best way to generate a number slider component in grasshopper is entering keywords "x
