Learn how to use Grasshopper for Architecture and 3D designs
In this Course you will learn how to use Grasshopper for Rhino 7 3D for creating Arched structure with Skin subdivisions and envelope connections. Rhino 3D is an advanced modeling program, that has all of the capabilities to create architectural construction drawings, as well as complex 3D models. This program combined with grasshopper will help you take your designs to another level.
What you’ll learn
- How to use Grasshopper for Rhino.
- How parametric design works.
- Techniques for other designs.
- Architectural design tips.

I will walk you though all of the steps in detail and share with you the project files. This way you can ensure that you have a file to reference as you work.
Rhino 3D is a bit intimidating at first, but with some experience it can become one of the most useful tools. These tutorials are great for students who are trying to expand their design arsenal. They will allow you to create some complex and impressive designs as well as construction drawings. The steps in this tutorial are useful for many other applications. So make sure to follow me for future lessons, and let me know if you have any questions. By the end of this course, you will have a better understanding of how Rhino 3D works and how you can apply it to your specific use case.

The advantages of using Rhino 7 for Architecture:
Rhino 7 is high-end surfacing. It allows users to create, edit, analyze, render, animate and translate non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) curves, surfaces and solids (yes, Rhino 7 will do solids), and so on, as well as subdivision (sub-D) geometry. (Some people buy it just to translate file formats!) Rhino offers uninhibited freeform modeling, accuracy, compatibility, the ability to repair meshes, and speed—all for a price that is substantially lower than other programs out there.
