In this tutorial, you will learn how to create different types of Spiral Surfaces in Grasshopper. We will cover multiple approaches on how you can generate them that can be used as a base geometry for spiral staircases, ramps, landscape design, and many other things.
First, we will teach you how to use Point Polar component that is an essential element in the process of creating all sorts of spiral curves and surfaces. Once we go through it, we will cover the making of Spiral Ramp (Helix Surface) and two types of Conical Spiral Surfaces.
An extended version of this tutorial contains a couple of additional tips and tricks on how to combine the Golden Ratio in the process of creating Spiral Surface.
If you watch our extended tutorial, you will also learn how to create a spiral ramp in Grasshopper used in the project "Spiraling Observation Tower" designed by Effekt Architects.

Круто!! Спасибо!

[@maggieb3517]

Great tutorial. Thanks!

[@HowtoRhino]

Hey Maggie, thanks, glad it was helpful! If you'd like to take this a step further and have a complete step by step approach in learning Rhino and Grasshopper that includes our personal coaching, you may want to check out our Rhino for Architects 2.0 Course! Please reach out and send me an email at [e-mail] if you're interested and I'll tell you a lot more about it there and share the course platform with you as well! Cheers! :)

[@felixraven6625]

Thank you for the tutorial! Do you know a way where you can control the points of the spiral, so you're able to create an slug like figure by widing the spirals more and more to the outer circles?

[@archist9789]

Wonderful!!

[@janosgyerman]

can i create surface using golden ratio? the bottom for example starting Ø6m and height 6m? but golden ration should be used for the spirals> and maybe for the height (side shape)

[@sharmaynelim7056]

hi! thanks for the tutorial! could u also explain how to make a spiral ramp with varying thickness (i.e. 3m distance at the top and 1m distance at the bottom)

[@alializadeh8195]

Thanx

[@at-mat3789]

Interesting video, but if I wanted to create spirals with tubes how should I do?

[@user-jc9bm2dm6m]

cool, thx a lot!

[@HowtoRhino]

You're welcome! Let us know if you need any structured step by step approach in learning Grasshopper, we might have something for you :)

[@user-jc9bm2dm6m]

@@HowtoRhino i`m trying to do sth with grasshopper, your video helps me a lot. if i have any problem, i`d be happy to ask you guys.

[@info212011]

Excelente tutorial. Muchass gracias. Tengo una pregunta: Cómo hacer una espiral cuadrada o rectangular con esquinas planas? Puede ayudarme?

[@newtonxian4841]

Thanks for the tutorial! Just wondering how do you keep the rhino viewport floating on top of Grasshopper?

[@HowtoRhino]

[@SupremeSkeptic]

Must the spiral be circular? Can we make it rectangularish with rounded corners?

[@deechonada]

have you managed to figure this out? I need to do something like this too

[@ThePr0Br0]

4:20 good tutorial BUT HOLY FUCK THAT LIKE BUTTON SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME FUK I NEARLY FELL OVER

[@nabihafaiz1298]

I've done exact same steps, when he moves to tutorial of creating spiral, I am not getting a round circle, what am I doing wrong? pls reply fast, jury tomorrow, thanks.

[@HowtoRhino]

Can you please be more specific which part of the tutorial you are referring to?
