Course Description
Throughout this Grasshopper tutorial, we'll use specific techniques to advance your expertise in Grasshopper, specifically in relation to data tree management. The key topics we'll cover throughout these lessons involve learning how to generate synchronous 2D drawings, in-depth explanations of how data trees are managed in Grasshopper, and how to make the most effective use of this organizational system to create efficient definitions. By the end of this Grasshopper training, you'll gain a practical understanding of how to efficiently manipulate large amounts of data in the shortest amount of time and with the greatest control, as well as tips and tricks for how to handle errors and debugging as they arise. Software required: Rhino 5, Grasshopper 0.9.0075.
