The purpose of this group is to connect local Gh-users and give them the opportunities for some knowledge exchange, support and networking. If there is interest we could also think about meeting from while to while. Berlin based supplier of McNeel software and training services Visual Dream is providing support for Gh and Rhino. So lets give this group some dynamics!See More

Weaverbird is a topological modeler that contains many of the known subdivision and transformation operators, readily usable by designers. Instead of doing the work repeatedly, or sometimes using complicated scripts, this plug-in helps reconstructing shapes as meshes, subdivides and refines even polyline lists, and helps preparing the model for fabrication. Weaverbird is the first released addon for Grasshopper but the group is new, so please join it to participate in discussions, ask questions…See More

Packrat 0.5.5 (evaluation) is now available!PackRat is a component for Grasshopper that facilitates the arrangement of rectangular items within rectangular containers with the aim of improving efficient use of space. In other words, it attempts to approximate optimal solutions to the 3D bin-packing problem. Packrat accepts a list of containers and a list of items to be packed. Only rectangular items are recognized, so if the input consists of arbitrarily shaped BReps, their bounding boxes will…See More

Excerpt:...The complexity of the interconnected and often competing information required to shape a building - be it explicitly describable or not - still remains a challenge for contemporary computational processes. A future architectural practice needs to cultivate a critical awareness of such limitations in order to develop successful future strategies for design interaction and implementation of computational possibilities. This critical dialogue aims to expand the findings of…See More
