Parametric Brick Wall Grasshopper

[@henriquethomasfranco4182]

I did it!!! My first wall on grasshopper. Thank you so much.

[@ParametricHouse]

You are welcome!👋

[@adityaadit2004]

I am so happy that this tutorial uses no external plugins ♥

[@arambadr7342]

thanks for the great tutorial , you're right plugins are a good way for concepts designs ( i usually use a plugin called PARAKEET ) but your tutorial the best method for real life design .

[@Xetzbraker]

y def parakeet faster way to achieve brick walls

[@nelsonvargas6347]

Excelente trabajo. Gracias.

[@ParametricHouse]

🙏

[@raffaelstephanio1927]

Thank you, i made it perfectly

[@ParametricHouse]

great :)

[@AlperenGenc]

Guys, download the Parakeet plugin for parametric, curved brick walls. Much easier to do (with all due respect to the channel for the detailed tutorial)

[@doaakhan3409]

very good tutorial explaining each step!!! Can you please do a tutorial for a free form brick structure or a brick vault, it would be great. Thankyou!

[@willknowsright9615]

Thank you. Make more please.

[@ParametricHouse]

You're welcome... sure :)

[@erfanzamani9713]

Very Very helpful

[@ParametricHouse]

Glad it helped :)

Hi this is great. If you wanted to add a 10mm gap (to represent mortar joints) inbetween each layer of brick- how would you go about doing that?

[@ragulkuppa1018]

great tutorial how to get that plaster grooves?

[@curtisswan6130]

Is it possible i rotate the bricks on the centroid as well? so they can have some angle? thanks for the video

[@alessandronicotra9237]

That was great! Thank you!

[@ParametricHouse]

You're welcome

[@nelsonvargas6347]

Thanks. Well explained.

[@nelsonvargas6347]

I ´d like to know how did you do the gaps between the bricks.

[@ParametricHouse]

You're welcome. The dispatch pattern in the rows will make the gap

[@sammerrick6343]

This is amazing! Can it be done on a closed surface? I'd like to make something similar but on a cylinder. Thanks!

[@Mr6345]

omg life saver thank you!

[@ParametricHouse]

:)

[@burakozcan4200]

hi! thanks for tutorial, i wonder that can we adjust the different brick size? I mean If I want to design different size of bricks and adapt them onto surface?

[@ParametricHouse]

You're welcome :) That's going to be more complicated and I think you have to do it with Loops (Like Anemone Plugin)

[@weiquanchia7268]

Awesome tutorial! How can i trim off the last row of bricks on either side so that they are not staggered and instead have a straight edge?

[@zupwolf9745]

amazing ! is there a way to make the bricks go vertical ?

[@ParametricHouse]

Try changing the U-V direction of the surface :)

[@ritajin3197]

Thank you for such helpful tut, what should I do if I want 10mm gaps in Z direction for motar?

[@ParametricHouse]

Welcome, I guess there is a z gap in the action editor ...it's available in one of the menus

[@thorjarlberglund997]

Holes in this wall ?

[@galiafvelikiy4615]

great one =) thank u!

[@fereshtehkhojastehmehr6128]

Thanks for this helpful tutorial. How can we structurally analyze this brick wall?

[@ParametricHouse]

🙏 analyzing masonry is difficult. Maybe Rhinovault

[@ceydaeldemir3732]

Hi, anyone knows how to add more brick to the curved ones? thx.

[@felixraven6625]

Hi, thank you so much for this amazing tutorial! I would like to build a dome out of bricks. Of course your tutorial doesn't work for the whole dome, so I split in four parts, but they brics are still not perfectly arranged. Do you know a way to solve this Problem?

[@ParametricHouse]

You're welcome Felix, The problem with closed NURBS surfaces is that the U or V Iso curves reach a point and this tutorial will not give you the desired results. I guess I have to think about this for future tutorials because it's more complicated than you think! You have to go for iterative design and use the Anemone plugin to put bricks on each row, step by step!

[@felixraven6625]

Thanks for the fast reply! I'm working on this Problem for a week now (it's my first advanced project with grasshopper). Even if I try to cut the dome in 16 parts and straigthen them so the just bend in one direction instead of two, there is still the problem that the bricks are taking the angle of the Surface like the should in a dome but still remain like wall. Do you have any idea how to solve the problem?

[@Gabroo93]

Hi Rhino Grasshopper, great video! I wonder if it is possible to render that wall with different brick textures, in a fast and simple way? Because every brick is its own object, how do I give it realistic sense of variety? Is there a way to select multiple textures and apply them so that the render looks realistic? Or how would you do if you wanted to render ut this wall? Would be very glad if you could help out. I really want to use these techniques for my thesis project.

[@ParametricHouse]

Hi Antonius... unfortunately I don't have much experience with Renders :(

[@jolu1621]

You can seperate the boxes random or with a pattern and bake them in rhino into different layers. Create lets say 5 to 6 different brick material variationes and asign them to the different layers

[@camoshap]

i want the bricks to rotae on a flat surface though

[@robertchacon3289]

awesome tutorial! I have a question tho, how would a brick layer build this in real life? how would he know where to position each brick? Maybe he just needs to be an excellent bricklayer?! :)

[@ParametricHouse]

One of the ways you can make it is to have costumized cnc milled pieces between the bricks to give the right angle.

[@arambadr7342]

​@@ParametricHouse would you recommend any grasshopper methods to help with fabricating the cnc or lazercut wooden pieces to align the bricks ? i usually 01- use the contour command to get the outlines of the bricks angles . 02- draw the rest of the wooden pieces between the outlines manually on rhino (draw lines , trim , extend etc... ) 03- arrange the pieces and numbering using G-nest plugin for lazer cutting . but maybe be there is a simpler method ? especially for step no 02 ?

[@totakingrighturns]

they* anyone can be an excellent brick installer :)

[@camiloreinales260]

Hi! My dispatch is not working i dont get anything on the B output

[@ParametricHouse]

Check the dispatch pattern input and try to debug it

[@sherryshefali3682]

Facing the same problem, how do I debug it?

[@locolegs1000]

You need to flatten the input

[@1bisam]

@@locolegs1000 it works! TY

[@Cal.lm96]

No no no this is NOT an easy thing to do !😂
