Grasshopper Basics

Exercise A:

Premise: design a definition to control height, top&bottom radius and wall thickness through sliders.

1. set basepoint in rhino and connect to grasshopper
2. create sliders for heith, top&bottom radius and wall thickness
3. move (copy) the centerpoints for the all circles but the lower outer radius
4. subtract the wallthickness for the inner circles
5. create a loft (mind the order)
   loft type (O) set to "straigt"
6. create the bottom inner and outer surface with "boundary surface"
7. join all surfaces
8. "bake"

Exercise B: Working with attractors

Premise: Control the diameter of circles by the proximity to an object

1.  Create a "rectangular" grid
2. control Size and Extend through sliders
3. create circles on the intersection points (p)
4. control the radius of the circles through the distance to a point set in rhino
   use a division or mapping to adjust the scale

Exercise C:

Use a mesh as input for generating a new form. 

1. connect a mesh from rhino
2. "deconstruct mesh"
3. "deconstruct face"
4. read out the edges through "list items"
