Description

Does anyone knows how to add description in the group like the one in the picture. I find it very useful if I do it as an exercise and review it sometimes...

Hi Ivan,

You forgot to attach the screenshot.

A) One way is to just group the desired components, and then right click on the group rectangle, and type in anything you like into the top blank text box. This method uses fixed text size, and in some cases it can be a bit hard to read the text, unless you zoom it in.

B) The other work around method enables increasing the size of the text, so it is much convenient to use, when an overall scope of the definition is required. You just need to group a "Panel" along with other components, and then type something in that Panel. By zooming into the panel, a text increase/decrease icons will appear. Right clicking on your Panel->Colour (and group rectangle too) will enable you to change it's color and transparency.

C) Third method uses "Scribble" note, put above your group rectangle

D) You can also import curves (in a form of a logo, or text, what ever) from Rhino to Grasshopper canvas by using the "sketch" tool (that red pencil just above your canvas, next to the eye). Choose the Sketch tool, and draw anything (it can be a single line) on the canvas. Then right click on it-> Load from Rhino. Select the desired curves from Rhino, and hit Enter. Desired curves will be sent to Grasshopper Canvas, and you could move them to desired position.

There are probably more workaround solution, but maybe one of these is what you need.
