COURSE DETAILS:-

Automate a repetitive task in Rhino much faster than manually. Perform tasks in Rhino or Grasshopper that are not accessible in the standard set of Rhino commands or Grasshopper components. Generate geometry using algorithms. Lots and lots of other things. It’s a programming language after all. With Grasshopper, designers can perform graphical, component-based algorithmic modeling in Rhino.
