Rhino 3D and Grasshopper 3D Surface Manipulation

[@muayadhabeeb6302]

Thank you so mush for all those tutorials and for making grasshopper very useful and very easy to understand... Your are an excellent teacher, God bless you !!!

[@AlphonsoPeluso]

muayad habeeb Thank you for the positive feedback! I’m glad that you are enjoying the tutorials!

[@sikaluka]

what if I have hundreds of points? Am I supposed to do the same process for each of them? Are there any shortcuts?

[@AlphonsoPeluso]

@@sikaluka You can use a series, range, or graph mapper to generate multiple values.

@@AlphonsoPeluso thank you so much. I'm actually trying to replicate on rhino-grasshopper the "Lanterna" by Fuksas located in Rome, Italy. It's an asymmetrical structure and it's surface is quite irregular. What tools would you suggest using to reconstruct it on these softwares?

[@juliakaminski3013]

Hi! thank you for the video. Everything is really well explained. My List Item plug isn't allowing me to input more than one point or Z axis motion.

[@AlphonsoPeluso]

Did you use the shift key to plug in more than one input?

[@1jomojo]

so what if i want 1,2,3,4,5 all to be 2m high ? Do i have to go through all of this 5 times or is there away to mark them all at once as 2m ? Maybe by using a sticky or a 2point to line" ?

[@AlphonsoPeluso]

You can use a panel to make a list and plug it into one Z vector.

Great tutorial.. loved it!

Thank you! I’m glad that you liked it.

super goood ! thanks for these videos

You’re welcome! Thanks for the comment!

Hello, I was trying to use this method on a flat non rectangular surface (it is not a trimmed surface) and grasshopper automatically changes the surface into a rectangular surface. Any idea how to keep the surface shape.

[@AlphonsoPeluso]

Hello, thanks for watching! Can you double check to see if the surface is untrimmed? Select the surface and use the ‘what’ command. Best, Alphonso

[@marekmarecki2675]

Hi, can you tell me where I can find tej command, Rebuilt Surface. Thank you for help.

[@AlphonsoPeluso]

Hello, you need the lunch box plug in.

[@scottadam4268]

Hey Alphonso... great tutorial! Can you do one on spacial deform/spacial deform custom in grasshopper??

[@AlphonsoPeluso]

I’ve never looked at spacial deform in Grasshopper. I’ll need to take a look.

[@peacewarrior9100]

how to deform a surface which is not a rectangle, for example a circle? coz re building it makes it a rectangle.

[@AlphonsoPeluso]

Same technique should work for a circular surface. Draw a circle than use the boundary surface (planar surface) capsule. Then follow the rest of the script.

[@peacewarrior9100]

@@AlphonsoPeluso thank you, will try this

[@peacewarrior9100]

@@AlphonsoPeluso i did try as you said, but it still rebuilds it into a square, plz find image on the link, maybe i did sommething wrong ibb.co/9bbkkDV

[@AlphonsoPeluso]

Yes you are correct. This is because Rhino makes a trimmed surface and then Grasshopper un trims it.

[@peacewarrior9100]

@@AlphonsoPeluso so it's not possible to morph it by this method right?

[@FilmFactry]

Great info! Thanks!

[@ryeones]

I cant download the plug in on my mac, running rhino 6 :/

[@AlphonsoPeluso]

You should be able to find Lunchbox for the Mac. I know that some of my students have installed it on their Macs.

[@prasadhewamanage3753]

thank you soo much

[@yulavi]

how do I unbake the surface?

[@AlphonsoPeluso]

Hello. You can’t unbake it but you can delete it from Rhino.
