Thanks. It would be helpful to keep "Draw Full Names" on when uploading tutorial videos. There's tons of nodes in Rhino, noobs aren't so acclimated to the abbreviations and it can become frustrating trying to guess which components you are using.
Can GH control similar points of multiple curves at one time? In creating a basic four sided awning in 2D, I want to provide the same 'hollow' at all four sides, at the same time. A 'hollow' is a an arc that flows inward of a rectangle...three sided awnings (or sun shades are a great reference for what I mean). It is basically subtracting material from a basic shape. This would speed up my workflow and provide certainty that all 'hollows' are the same at all sides. Thanks for your help and consideration. I have not been able to find a video that comes close to yours.
Expression: x-1 When using the range component, the total number of output values will be one greater than the input parameter in "Number of Steps". (ex. if number of step equals 10, there will be 11 output values). When I want the number of output values to equal the input parameter I use the expression : x-1. Does that clarify?
Yes, definitely is possible! There's many different ways to achieve this based on your specific objective. For example, you could copy/paste this script and chain them together so that the first part moves points in x and second part moves point in z. Alternatively, you can actually add vectors with the Addition component. If you used that method you could make two separate graph mappers, one for x and one for z, then add them together to get the resultant vector. This might be a little confusing without a visual. If you need more clarification I'd be happy to help. If you want, send me an email at pfors@5j5.design with more details of your project or idea and I can offer my advice. Best, Phil
Hi, i was wondering if you could help me. When I recreate your last GH setup, it only lets me keep me domain start and end the same, otherwise the replace items gives the error: ‘you should supply equal amounts of items and indices’. But then i can basicly only edit the curve from one point… maybe you know what went wrong there, cause I’m in the dark
So I will need to re watch your tutorial a few times to fully understand it and you may have answered my question. I want to draw a curve that loops back on itself and modify it like a slinky on the z axis. This will give the elevation contour for the "track" . I need to maintain the x and y of the endpoints. Any advise will be appreciated.
Hm, not really sure what you mean. If you could provide pictures or something to clarify I would love to try to help you out! You can DM me on instagram @parametric_phil or send me an email: pfors@5j5.design
hi, how would you do that on a set of multiple curves ? I'm struggling to manage the data stream of domains : / I'm trying to move (z) the end points of each curve, the curves are the v iso of a revolution surface. I'd like to use the graphmapper to control how much each end point goes up. any help would be much appriciated (a reply, a video ! ) ;) thanks
Sorry but I'm a little unclear on exactly what you're asking. If you want to extract the control points of a NURBS curve, you can use the "Control Points" component. If you want to count the number of points, you can use "List length" to count the list of Control Points. But if you're are dividing a curve, you're either: a) dividing by number of points, b) dividing by length segments or, c) dividing by distance. If you're doing option A, the number of points is an input. For option B and C, you can count the output "Points" with the "List Length" component. If this answer is not helpful, please help me understand your question and I would be happy to help!
I would like to graph the points of a circle or any curve shaped into a polygon. i just cant find any tutorial. I would like to do the sine graph but all the point moving away from the center of that shape. please help me, Im new on Grasshopper
Hi Jospeh! I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but I'd love to help! Do you have Instagram? If so, find me on Instagram @parametric_phil and direct message me a picture of a sketch explaining what you're trying to achieve and I'll try to make a short video soon.
Thanks. It would be helpful to keep "Draw Full Names" on when uploading tutorial videos. There's tons of nodes in Rhino, noobs aren't so acclimated to the abbreviations and it can become frustrating trying to guess which components you are using.
Thanks for a straight forward and helpful video.
You're welcome!
bifocals pls!

what is the expression that you used in Range?
Expression: x-1
When using the range component, the total number of output values will be one greater than the input parameter in "Number of Steps". (ex. if number of step equals 10, there will be 11 output values). When I want the number of output values to equal the input parameter I use the expression : x-1.
Does that clarify?
Thanks
It gives me an error using the component List Length. Do you know why? Thanks!
Is it possible to move certain points on the x-axis and some on the z?
Yes, definitely is possible! There's many different ways to achieve this based on your specific objective. For example, you could copy/paste this script and chain them together so that the first part moves points in x and second part moves point in z.

Hi, sorry I didn't get back to you earlier! If you still need help anything, let me know. Happy to help.
how can you see how many points you've created on different curves (that were constructed by diving a curve)?
Sorry but I'm a little unclear on exactly what you're asking. If you want to extract the control points of a NURBS curve, you can use the "Control Points" component.

Like contour the points but with graph
