Tips & Tricks

Regions

Are you finding it difficult to extract closed shapes from overlapping lines in Grasshopper?It’s a common challenge when working with intricate linework.

Extend to point

Have you ever needed to extend a curve in Grasshopper but struggled to control the direction?Instead of relying on trial and error, there's an easier and more efficient method.

Transpose Surface (Rhino 8)

The Transpose Surface component, introduced in Grasshopper for Rhino 8, swaps the U and V parameters of the input surface.While this operation does not visually alter the surface, it changes its parameterization.

Cross Product

This component computes the cross product of two input vectors.But have you ever considered its practical use for parametric design?The resulting vector is always perpendicular to both input vectors.
