Grasshopper 3d Parametric Roof

In this rhino grasshopper tutorial we will model a series of shape changing elements which can be used as a parametric roof.

Grasshopper 3d parametric roof.

You can see the modification of the model used in the early design stage to define the form and proportion of the roof together with the customer. It was later modelled in rhino but not parametric anymore. First we will define 3 points and by changing the location of the points we can make a polyline. For designers who are exploring new shapes using generative algorithms grasshopper is a graphical algorithm editor tightly integrated with rhino s 3 d modeling tools.

In this class you will learn how to create a parametric roof truss system using grasshopper for rhino. Unlike rhinoscript grasshopper requires no knowledge of programming or scripting but still allows designers to build form generators from the simple to the awe inspiring. Grasshopper is a bit intimidating at first but with some experience it can become one of the most useful tools. These tutorials are great for students who are trying to expand their design arsenal.

You need to be a member of grasshopper to add comments. Also there are some pictures of the construction site showing the final design. By parametric house 0 comments 0 likes. In this paracourse lesson we are going to model a parametric roof from scratch.
