In this Grasshopper tutorial, we are going to model the AD Classics by Felix Candela (Or the Los Manantiales Restaurant). First, we are going to start with a circle and then we will divide it into Perpendicular frames. We will use these planes and the Bezier Span component to model the shell.
You can also model the exact structure by changing the parameters

In this grasshopper tutorial, we are going to use the Kangaroo 2 plugin to model a tensile structure by using a rectangular mesh base and a series of curves for controlling the overall shape.
In this Beginner Rhino Grasshopper Tutorial we are going to model a polygonal concrete Planter from scratch and then use the Pufferfish plugin to give it a thickness.
In this 3D Printing Fabric video (from the 3D Printing tutorial series), we will look at different ways you can use 3D printing to make Fabrics. Then, we will model simple chainmail in Rhino Grasshopper.
In this Weaverbird Grasshopper Tutorial, we are going to use two simple boxes to model the base parametric shape of the smooth mesh. We will use the Weaverbird plugin to smooth the final results.
In this Rhino Grasshopper tutorial, we are going to model a parametric rotating 3d pattern on a curve (closed or open) and then convert it into a smooth mesh.
In this Rhino Grasshopper tutorial, you will learn how to use the Pufferfish plugin component called "Twisted Box Through Surfaces" to morph a dodecahedron between two surfaces.
In this Rhino Grasshopper Tutorial, you can model a series of twisting boxes by defining rectangular sections and then use the graph mapper to extract the non-linear distribution of the sections.
In this Rhino 7 grasshopper tutorial, we are going to take a look at the Subd component called "Multipipe" and how you can use it in Grasshopper to model a parametric polar model.
In this tutorial, we will show how to make a Trefoil Knot in Rhino Grasshopper and then remodel it by defining geometrical parameters.
In this Rhino Grasshopper Tutorial, we are going to model a parametric circular Loft surface by using the Graph Mapper Component.
In this Rhino Grasshopper tutorial, we are going to model a waffle structure from a Torus. First, we are going to study the constraints of geometry, and then we will extract the curves for fabrication.
In this rhino grasshopper tutorial, we are going to model a parametric stair from scratch. first, we are going to explain how to model the base curves of the stairs in Rhino and then we will translate it into grasshopper code.

Hi good afternoon.
Thank you for the tutorial, really interesting.
I notice that the edge surface, while approaching towards the center of the structure, dose not keep the bezier span tangents horizontal, so it creates a cease. I initially thought it was a mesh visualization issue, but I also extracted the isoline back in Rhino and it is actually as i expected. I tried other types of surface generation (sweep 2 rails, srf from network curve, etc.) but I always find the same issue. Do you have any suggestion in order to keep the tangents horizontal?
Thank you.

Hi Marco,
Thank you for mentioning the issue.
Yes, the approach that has been taken on that tutorial is to work with Bezier.
I think the common issue on Sweep2 is the curve directions. You have to use same direction for Rails and same direction for “cross sections”. I usually use “Flip curve” component to make sure all of curve are in same direction.
If I found better solution I’ll keep you posted.
Thank you.
