In this Grasshopper tutorial, I will teach you the grasshopper basics for beginners to advanced. First I will talk about the Grasshopper canvas and basically how Grasshopper works and then I will teach you how you can use the grasshopper tools to produce a smooth surface with Sweep1 and turn it into a mesh model. We will also cover the most used plugins in our tutorials.

In this Grasshopper Kangaroo example file you can design a parametric earring using the circle packing technique.
In this Grasshopper example file you can design a parametric Louver facade using the Pufferfish Plugin.
In this Grasshopper example file you can design a parametric building using the native grasshopper components.
In this Grasshopper Dendro tutorial, you can learn how to create a growing mesh by defining a series of spin fields on a NURBS surface using the Heteroptera plugin.
In this Grasshopper Tutorial for beginners you will learn how to use the Sphere collide component to generate evenly distributed holes on a NURBS surface.
In this Grasshopper Kangaroo example file, you can circle pack a mesh using the "TangentIncircles" component.
In this Grasshopper example file, you can utilize the Nautilus plugin to design a parametric Twisted Torus.
In this Grasshopper example file, you can model twisted torus strips and convert them into a spaceframe and panels using the Lunchbox Plugin.
In this Grasshopper example file, you can convert a series of curves into a mesh with a 3d groove pattern using the Nautilus and Weaverbird plugins.
In this Grasshopper tutorial, you will learn how to model a parametric joint on the corners of a box with controllable parameters.
In this Grasshopper example file, you can simulate an optimized path from an origin point/points toward a set of targets. The strategy involves branching at diverging points.
In this Grasshopper example file, you can model a staircase detail drawing from the plan view and easily change the parameters.
In this Grasshopper example file, you can design a parametric facade using four different techniques.
In this Grasshopper contour tutorial, we will learn how to extract a series of solids from a part of a mesh by defining the direction and length with a single line.
In this Grasshopper Millipede tutorial, you can learn how to model a series of smooth connecting columns to a roof and then analyze it using Millipede's Finite Element Analysis.
In this Grasshopper Kangaroo tutorial, you can discover how to simulate the flow of a series of particles on a solid and then convert it into a mesh.
In this Grasshopper tutorial, you can learn how to generate Perlin noise on a surface and convert it into a solid.
In this Grasshopper tutorial, we will learn how to generate a structural grid from a series of grid points.
In this Grasshopper tutorial, we will explore how to create a simple parametric gear and a radial mechanism, and also include an example file for the Iris mechanism.
In this Grasshopper tutorial, we will learn how to create a series of parametric solids using the "Tangent Arcs" component.
In this Grasshopper tutorial, we will model a parametric brick wall on a NURBS surface with a rectangular projection. We can also adjust the thickness of the bricks based on point attractors.
In this Grasshopper Kangaroo tutorial, we will model a parametric mesh pavilion by simply defining the top curve and the location and profile of the columns.
In this Grasshopper Kangaroo tutorial, we will learn how to create a mesh with controllable anchor points and n-gon polygons.

hi, my version is Rhino7 . I try to Plog-in the Lunchbox and Weaverbird but I think the virsion is too old. Is there the Rhino7 version for me to download?

Hi William,
Here is Weaverbird and Lunchbox download link:

somehow the isotrim is not working. I have no idea why. Is it working in your version of rhino, can you see what’s wrong otherwise?

Hi Arnoud, I have opened your script and it works fine. What is your Rhino and Grasshopper version ?
Arnoud
@rezae Newest version of rhino, downloaded it two days before I did this exercise. It’s student license but don’t think that should matter

So, I opened the file again. That night I was working with the screen on lowest brightness, so I didn’t notice it. But now I notice that the trim function is working, but the display shows both the unaffected version and the trim version at the same time, leaving only the outlines of the affected version to indicate something is actually happening.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Arnoud
It has been resolved. I didn’t realize yet I needed to turn off the preview for all the previous panels. I assumed only the result at the end of the chain would show. Beginner mistake, moving on 🙂
rezae
Yes! It’s a common mistake I forgot to notice.

Hi! I’m a beginner in Grasshopper. I’m using Rhino 7 and somehow the sweep1 command doesn’t want to work but I did everything according to the video and I checked it multiple times it just doesn’t work somehow. 🙁

Hi, I would be able to find the problem if you could send me your GH file or a screen shot from your canvas. Thanks

Hi, i am a begginner on Grass and have Rhino 7 but Sweep 1 doesn`t work for me. Could you please help me? Thanks.
rezae
Hi, Reza can you attach you script or send a screen shot?
Reza77
I solved the problem. thanks.

Hi,
Is there a Lunchbox plugin for Mac?
Thanks,

Hi,
I figured out how to get Lunchbox into Mac.
Thanks,
