Creating a Smart Sketch Tool with Grasshopper
Release date:2020
Author:Jaime Sol
Skill level:Beginner
Language:English
Exercise files:Yes
On this course, you´ll learn how to create a tool in Grasshopper that will allow you to design and explore quickly and intuitively floorplan layouts while getting real-time data from your program areas.
Once this tool is properly referenced and set up, you don´t need to operate it on the Grasshopper environment so it becomes an asset you can share with colleagues who have no experience with parametric modeling.
We cover lots of useful tricks like how to intuitively create room separations with open curves, add and remove architectural programs on the spot and export critical information to inform your designs.
