There is also an advanced lesson related to this Tutorial, Exclusive for Paracourse Members

Paracourse members can also download these two extra example files. The first example converts the twisting boxes into a lattice-like structure and the second example file adds the bottom surface to the voxelized volume.

Polyline Structure

In this Grasshopper tutorial, you will learn how to model a parametric structure by contouring a curve and creating polylines through point manipulation with a graph mapper.

Twisting Structure

In this Grasshopper tutorial, you will learn how to model a parametric structure by twisting a box and extracting its edges to form the base geometry and explore several detailing techniques.

Multipipe Structure

In this Grasshopper tutorial, you will learn how to model a parametric structure by using a closed curve as the base geometry and the multipipe component.

Hexagonal Building

In this Grasshopper example file, you will learn how to model a parametric building using hexagonal cells, where the number of levels are controlled by a point attractor.
