Build your first finished Grasshopper definition (in 60 minutes)
Build the Twisting Tower definition step-by-step — and understand the fundamentals so you can start creating your own scripts (not just copying tutorials).
This training helps beginners:
- Complete one working Grasshopper definition (the Twisting Tower)
- Understand why it works — not just clicking buttons
- Walk away with a real file you build — not just theory
Who it’s for
Perfect if you’re a Rhino user who’s new to Grasshopper — or you can follow tutorials but struggle to build your own definitions from scratch.
What you’ll master
⚡
The “Visual Logic” (Finally Explained) I’ll strip away the jargon and show you the simple logic behind visual programming, so you understand why connections work.
🧭
Navigate the Interface like a Pro Don’t get lost in the menus. Learn the shortcuts, canvas hacks, and “hidden” search tools that professional computational designers use to build scripts 2x faster.
🛠️
The “Holy Trinity” of Components There are hundreds of components, but you only need a few to start. Master the specific nodes you’ll use in 90% of your scripts.
🏢
Build the “Twisting Tower” from Scratch No theory without practice. We will combine everything into a real architectural workflow, creating a fully parametric twisting tower that you can adjust in seconds.
