In this Paracourse lesson, we are going to model a wavy facade in Grasshopper. First, we are going to model the strips and then by using the curve attractor technique and some data management tricks we will model the louvers.

In this grasshopper definition you can create a parametric catenary dome by using Lunchbox plugin.
In this grasshopper definition by using the "Net On Surface" component from Pufferfish Plugin you can create a series of interpolated curves on multiple connected surfaces and also use the Dendro plugin to give it some thickness.
In this grasshopper python course lesson we are going to study more about the loops and how you can use it to manage a List.
In this Grasshopper Python Lesson, we are going to talk more about the basics and how to use Print and Loop. Then we will import the math library into python and start modeling a mathematical surface called Chladni.
In the second Grasshopper Python tutorial we are going to cover how you can use List data in Python and extract and use each item. We will also Rebuild the move component in Python.
In this Paracourse Lesson, we are going to model a parametric 3d pattern which is based on a solid difference of a parametric box with smaller boxes located at the corners.
In this Paracourse Lesson, you will learn how to simulate the collision of a series of random particles with spheres by using the Flexhopper plugin.
Our Grasshopper Python Course will help you to understand how to start coding inside grasshopper by using the Python script component. Each Lesson will show you how to code step by step (from beginners to advanced).
In this Paracourse Lesson, we are going to use the kangaroo's Rigid body component to simulate a series of boxes connected together. Then we are going to transform them by defining a point attractor.
In this Paracourse Lesson, we are going to use different attractors in Paneling tools to model a parametric grid that deforms with Point/Curve/Random and surface curvature. Finally, we are going to smooth the result.
In this example file you can use the grasshopper's different grids combined with Parakeet's Genotype A to produce interesting Patterns
In this Paracourse Lesson we are going to use the millipede plugin combined with Galapagos to optimize the location of a series of columns for a simple roof. First we are going to define the geometric parameters for the columns and then define the structure.
In this grasshopper definition you can use one of the Parakeet's Plugin patterns. First we have transformed the pattern and then used the Millipede plugin to model a minimal surface between the two layers.
In this grasshopper definition you can model a wavy like frame structure around a sphere. First we will extract the vertices of the sphere and then use a Sine*Cosine function to move them around.
In this grasshopper definition you can learn how to use the Millipede's geometry wrapper to model a mesh around a curve and control it with different parameters.
In this grasshopper definition first we scatter a series of random points inside a brep and then generate random vectors to cut the brep with the related planes. Finally you can move the pieces away from each other.
In this grasshopper definition, you can create noise on any surface by using the Tundra plugin. For example we have used the Mobius surface component by Lunchbox plugin.
In this example file we want to show you how you can use the Dispatch Component to generate Different Patterns with controlling True & False. You can learn this process step by step.
In this Paracourse Lesson we are going to use polar coordinates to model a parametric spiral. We will use graph mapper to give more control to the polar curve. Finally we can use the dendro plugin to voxelize it and give it a smooth mesh volume.
In this grasshopper definition, you can create a voxelized shell shape by subtracting two volumes and finally model a Triply Periodic Minimal Surface.
In this definition you can use the Lunchbox plugin to extract data from an Excel file. Then by using a technique for data management and Lunchbox Chart View you can visualize the data.
In this grasshopper definition, you can create a parametric radial structure and then thicken and subdivide it by using the Fatten and Weaverbird plugin.
In this Paracourse Lesson we are going to use a simple technique to make the modeling of the islamic star pattern easier.First we are going to define two parameters for the pattern control and then we are going to give it a thickness.
In this Grasshopper definition by defining two circles perpendicular to each other and creating a revolving motion on one of them and connecting them with a line, you can create the tailoring motion.

Hi there! I have a question on making wavy facade on a looped surface (like the attached image) instead of a plane surface.
Since the attractor attracts all points at one direction (say either x or y-axis), how can I define the closest points go to the closest points??
Thank you!

Hi Angie
Please watch this tutorial for more info

For the distance, you can use the Geodesic component to find the shortest path on the surface and use the curve’s length for your rotation but be aware it’s a slow process
