Very first video tutorial of (i hope) a longer series of videos about parametric design.

Grasshopper is a plug-in for rhino, allowing to design with constant control over transformations made (the plugin was formerly called “explicit history”)

This tutorial is destined to beginners, it is supposed to illustrate the capacities of the plugin.

You will learn how to build a parametric driven tower. The tower can be twisted, bent in X,Y directions and each floor scaled depending on the bending.

Part 1 - create a shape, copy it and control nb of storeys and floorheight:

Part 2 - apply the rotate component, twist the tower:

Part 3 - control the twisting with a range of angles:

Part 4 - Bending the tower

Part 5 - Scaling floors
