Webinar: Paneling Surfaces in Grasshopper

Paneling Surfaces in Grasshopper | 2012 October 19 | 2:00 PM EDT

Overview:
Surfaces are the main type of geometry used for creating smooth, rational shapes within the Rhino3D modeling environment. Beginning with a presentation on the main principles of working with NURBS surfaces, this webinar will incrementally unpack a diverse set of surface-related techniques through a series of “live” exercises with Grasshopper. With two instructors offering guided curriculum and continuous support it is our goal to provide you with an in-depth and personal learning experience. Additional topics covered will include: how to move through “surface space”, creating and analyzing simple surface panels, and how to create custom panels on a surface.

This webinar will run 2.5 hours including a 30 minute Q & A session. Registration can be found below. We look forward to your participation!

Topics:

• What is a Surface? How do I make one and what are its parts?
• Wait!.. A Surface has its own Space? How can I navigate this Space?
• How can I break my Surface into Panels? Can I ensure they are flat -or- How do I keep them curvy.
• I just tested all of my Panels for planarity but what do those numbers mean? How can I more intuitively visualize the results?
• Now I have simple Panels, but can I create my own custom Panel Object at each original Panel location?
