Python lets us have interactive scripts, create custom commands, create new plug-ins and components, and so many other things in Grasshopper and Rhino. If you are creative enough, you can build anything with python, but the built-in components of Grasshopper are limited in some ways. We can call the rhino script syntax library to create whatever we want in python and rhino and Grasshopper. We are going to work with Hops and Python to prototype our ideas into Grasshopper components and plug-ins. Grasshopper lets us do visual programming and scripting. But there is no one size fits all solution in the architecture realm. Python will help the designers to make custom complex components. This is a door to learn how to do more with the Grasshopper and be creative with our designs.

learning objetives of the First session:

• Understand Python in Grasshopper through hands-on examples

• Generate parametric forms with RhinoScriptSyntax, Rhino geometry & GhPython libraries

• Develop a customized surface paneling algorithm

• Examples of mesh creation and subdivision

• Working with HOPS Component and its potential

• Making fractals and a Parametric Vault

You can find the files here. This is the folder containing Python scripts in the Tutorial session.

You should have Rhino 7.4 or above in order to have the HOPS properly. Also you should Install Python. It's better not to install the latest version of Python. maybe Python 3.7 or 3.8.

1. First Download the HOPS through package manager in Rhino

2. head to the Command prompt in windows and enter:

   pip install ghhops-server flask pip install rhinoinside
