AIA Seattle: Parametrics for Sustainability
AIA Seattle is sponsoring a Grasshopper Tech Demo: Parametrics for Sustainability meeting. Part demo, part discussion, this event will feature two Seattle-based firms’ use of an increasingly popular design tool.
Date: May 25, 5:00-6:30 pm
Location: The Miller|Hull Partnership

Surface Patterning with UV Coordinates
Developing a patterned surface can be fairly simple when the surface you are working with is flat, but if you were to develop the same pattern from scratch on a curved surface then things become a little more difficult. Luckily, there is a way to convert a flat pattern to a curve pattern through the [...]
Grasshopper to ANSYS
If you’ve played with Grasshopper then you know how much fun it can be to throw the sliders back and forth and watch your geometry change. What if you wanted to get analysis data for everyone of those iterations? Parametric modeling eases the task of generating multiple iterations, but it can be a bit laborious [...]
Grasshopper to Excel Exporter
One of the amazing things about working with Grasshopper is the ability to generate lots of information, a key part of Building Information Modeling. However, it can sometimes be difficult to get that information out of Grasshopper in an organized form. Damien Alomar’s work with GH and Excel served as the initial inspiration for this [...]
Grasshopper Space Planner
Projects will often start off with a period of program analysis, part of which requires each of the program spaces to be drawn to get a graphic sense of the project’s pieces. This information tends to be provided in the form of a spreadsheet which categorizes the spaces in addition to specifying the room’s name, quantity, areas, and other relevant information. With a few modifications, this spreadsheet can be used to generate all of the space geometry through the use of a Grasshopper definition.
