• Cull duplicates of any type

  This definition is the interior of a cluster I created that allows for the culling of duplicate items of any type based on a criteria. In this case, we are culling lines based on their mid point. Use the criteria carefully.

• Grasshopper – Pick region

  Grasshopper does not seem to have the “pick region” feature from the Rhino Hatch command. I have created such an algorithm, taking advantage of recursive computing provided by the Hoopsnake plugin. You can download the .gh file here: FindRegion.gh The overall idea of the algorithm is to find the curve that has the shortest angle relative […]

• Grasshopper and Magic Mouse

  Contrary to most people I meet, I am a Magic Mouse fan. I never had any wrist pain, and I love the 2D touch scroll. Having said that, the mouse comes with some incompatibilities with graphical software packages, namely Blender and Rhino Grasshopper. This post is about the latter. To make the Grasshopper canvas Zoom […]

• “If then else” in GH

  A common question I get is: how to replicate a “if then else” statement in Grasshopper. Here is my take. Explanation: if “First Number” is larger than “Second Number”, then output A, else output B. Or: if (FirstNumber>SecondNumber) {A} else {B}

• Explode a Grasshopper mesh into its faces

  In this little algorithm I build a single mesh for each face of the parent mesh. One of the great challenges is the duplication of data (Vertices) as to feed the Faces component.

• Yet another values remapping

  Another take on the problem of shaping a list of numbers according to a graph visual definition. The reason for not applying a Graph Mapper component directly deals with the way Graph Mapper has its settings adjusted. These are accessible through a double-click on the component, disallowing any kind of parametric adjustments (as with the […]

• Tamandua Vault

  A renewed interest in stereotomy, narrowly entwined with digital technologies, has allowed for the recovery and proposal of new techniques and expressions in this building approach. A new classification scheme for stereotomy research allows for the framing of various aspects related to this discipline, including a newly developed fabrication system specially tailored for the wedge-shaped […]

• Multiple Split Curves or Shatter All

  This is my take to the problem of splitting multiple curves in their intersections. There may be other approaches, and there are even components inside plugins that do this, but I wanted to have my own in-house solution so I could understand what is going on. The image on the left shows the original 7 […]
