his comes in the form of an HTML page with links to every component, so you will need to view it in your web browser. (I use Chrome and it doesn't seem to be working correctly, but when opened in IE its fine.)
2) Included in each help topic for each component is the Inputs and Outputs descriptions and data types.
3) You supply the data. What you supply and how you supply it is for you to decide. There are umpteen different ways. Are you asking for a list of those ways for each input?
4) Points can either be Rhino objects or 3D co-ordinates. To create a point you can use any of these methods, but it mostly comes down to user preference. I like using Panels as this displays outside of the component.
5) Because of the nature of vectors they represent magnitude and direction but they don't have an independent location, so there is a component that will display vectors in Rhino.
6) The user.
7) There is a Primer on the front page. Here you find the Basics, but because GH is ever evolving in its current beta state you might find things that aren't relevant any more or simply don't work the same. And here is the reason why nobody is writing an update because it could be soon out of date.
8) Importing images by either dragging them from explorer onto the canvas or right click context menu Image...
9) Single line = Single Item of Data. Double line = Multiple items of data on the same Branch. Dashed Double Line = Multiple Data on Multiple Branches.
10) User preference
11) Toolbar management is probably the bane of David's life. Most things are logically placed. For example the Curve Tab, Primitives are any simple curve types that you are creating from scratch. Similarly Splines is for more complex curve types created from scratch. Analysis is where you find components that are finding answers supplied by curves, control points, curvature, parameters, end points etc. Division is a subset of this category but has a group of its own. And Utilities is where you find curve related actions that you want to perform, offsetting, rebuilding projecting, exploding etc.
12) I would image it would have been the Point On Curve component in Curve>Analysis. Why that group? You are not putting a point on a curve you are analysing a curve for the location of a point based on some parameters that you are supplying. For example "what is the mid point?"
I hope this goes some way towards answering you questions. No doubt this will have generated more so don't be afraid to ask, it took me several releases of Explicit History (aka Grasshopper) before I realised what the egg did, it never occurred to me that I could put my objects into Rhino when I was finished. Or the fact that I could use panels to 'see' data outputs.
Al the best,

ase of resource and energy consumption identify significant developments of our time. Against this background and in the context of sustainable fairness to future generations, there will be a greater focus on energy and ressource efficient building structures.
This interdisciplinary course aims to lay the foundations of a „force based design“ through theoretical input lectures and presentations. Varying examples will show that the efficiency of structures depends largely on the flow of forces within the structure. Possible optimisation strategies will be discussed in the light of material saving and their impact on architectural form.
This course will introduce you to the use of digital analysis and optimization tools. You will learn to deal with three-dimensional parametric software (Rhinoceros 3D, Grasshopper, Sofistik, Karamba, GeometryGym, Kangaroo).
Finally, the knowledge acquired will be applied and developed in designing a pedestrian bridge or a slender tower.
Participants will be able to recognize the effects of forces as design parameters. They will recognize the potential of building geometry in the context of architecture and resource-efficient designs.

http://grasshopperworkshopcairo.blogspot.it/ introduction: This workshop will introduce basic and advanced notions of Grasshopper and the methodology of parametric design and algorithmic modeling and its usage in Architecture, design, landscape, and urban scale. It is intended for professionals and students with a minimum experience in 3D Modeling.
…
NURBS using Rhinoceros. Content includes: Basic terminology, user interface, workflow strategies, using reference material and creating drawings from modeled geometry.
Workshop 2: Introduction to Parametric Design
Instructor: Rajaa Issa
(12:30 PM-3:30 PM)
This workshop will introduce the general framework of parametric thinking with a series of hands-on tutorials using Grasshopper for Rhinoceros. It is meant for beginners who have little to no idea about parametric modeling. The workshop will introduce the general components of an algorithm, design workflow, Grasshopper interface and visualization techniques. The students are expected to have basic knowledge of the Rhino modeling environment. Workshop 1 should fulfill this requirement.
Registration: Computers and software will be provided. Space is limited to 20 seats per workshop. The fee for each workshop is $60 (plus a $4.29 fee). There is a special rate of $30 (plus a $2.64 fee) for students and teachers provided they request a discount here with their school email address before registering. Register now……
e it would of course be amazing if these could be displayed in a Rhino window / baked as objects...). I use the BarGraph as a histogram constantly for exploring the data I generate as I'm designing - in fact the graph components are one of the most frequent components I use at the 'end' of my design process. Would be nice to add Titles to the graph/bargraph and labels to axes, as well as the feature requests Marc points out above.
Also wondered if the 'MD slider' would soon have a 3D option similar to the colour picker? Would be useful.
Of course many other graph types would come in quite handy (I often export my data to Excel in order to visualise better) - 2D scatter with the tree structure indicating different data sets and therefore different colour/point types on the graph (Excel-style) would be handy. Of course these could be created as Grasshopper objects and displayed in the viewport but I find the work needed to get to a presentable output this way is often too much and its faster for me to just look at the data in Excel. Also in the Rhino viewport you often want to be visualising the end result of your definition (i.e. geometry) and not have to zoom somewhere else or fiddle around to try to display a graph of values at the same time. I could imagine an 'output' control panel could be quite handy, where you drag and lock in the various text panels / graphs / etc which are useful to you and tell you information about your design as you are varying the input parameters. This could be outside of GH possibly and maybe linked to one side of the Rhino viewport.
Any thoughts? Of course some of these requests are asking Grasshopper to expand a bit more into the 'data display/interpretation' space - however I think this is extremely important as with each design I create there is most always associated data which tells me about its performance in some way or another and viewing that / illustrating it to clients in a quick and friendly way is key. Of course what is there already is most impressive and useful!

dy stuck.
The basic concept is to create a 3D boundary(a box),
by generating random differnt values(length) and vectors(xyz),
such as (0,0,2), (-3,0,0), (0,1,0), then connect these points in order,
so there will be a snake(polyline) running in the boundary and
keeps growing longer through looping.
However, I can't quite understand how to use hoopsnake to achieve such action.I tried many times but all of them doesn't work.
About the 2 gh files below,
Gourmet Snake 3D.gh is before I use Hoopsnake,I tried to run it without boundary.
Test snake.gh is that I tried to generate a random number for every loop, then save them all and sum them up every loop, so I can check if the result is out of boundary,
if true, then I can mutiply -1 to let it decrease till it's in the boundary.But I can't achieve it through Hoopsnake.
Sorry for the poor english expression,if you understand my problem,any suggestion will be appreciated.

ng and algorithmic design for furniture production. Ideally I would like to be able to import a network of curves into this definition to automate the node creation process. Unfortunately as it stand it will only work for one of them.
My question is, how can I present a list of the connection points & vectors from a network of curves for this to work?
Below you can find the definition along with a few pictures of the concept and development. The white parts were modeled in Solidworks and printed on my Ultimaker 2.
If you're interested in following this project I'll be posting regular updates on my twitter: @pencil_stroke
Thanks in advance,
Charles

ning the simulation looks great(see figure 1). However, I find some question(see figure 2), the red wire frame on the right should be symmetry like the physical lamp, but it has a extend distance now.
I should like to keep the wire frame structure with same length after simulation.
maybe I miss some setting in Kangaroo, can any one fix it? thanks in advance.
I put this ghx file under the attach.

n elements in grasshopper.
So, I found myself rather blocked, not being able to do certain operations which I need:
1. I can't close the tubes, leaving the center circle open, when I try to input the cap holes, it takes all the tree and it closes, and I am still confused about how to edit trees and items. It would be rectangular shaped holes, rather small (it is intended for bicycle wheels, thus rather thin and long). I wish to be able to change the amount of these holes, since I am not certain yet.
2.In the same time, I have no idea how I would create a slope joining the 2 vertical boards ( floors).
Here is a small drawing explaining what I am looking to draw
In the same time, is there a way to create a slope, joining the same floors, but build on a different principle.
A slope revolving around the long vertical tubes ( trees). As in the image below
Thank you beforehand for your help, if halfway, you see the there is a faster way, or that would be more of a grasshopper way, of creating or changing an object, please do tell me, it would help me understand GH better.
I wouldn't have asked, if I wasn't this tight in terms of time, and if I had the slighest idea on how to do it. So pls help, and thank you.
