Thanks bunch! We're glad you enjoyed it! If you'd like to take this a step further and have a complete step by step approach in learning Rhino and Grasshopper that includes our personal coaching, you may want to check out our Rhino for Architects 2.0 Course! Please reach out and send me an email at dusan@howtorhino.com if you're interested and I'll tell you a lot more about it there and share the course platform with you as well! Cheers! :)
This is fantastic thank you. I have two questions perhaps for a future video. How would you pick a point above the lowest point in the object i.e. if you wanted to grab a part of the trunk and not the tree roots? Also how do you ensure the trees are placed on a surface with a z-axis that is below 0? Thanks!
What if I want to scatter a block instance like an Enscape Asset file? Is there a way to do this without inputting a grasshopper geometry but rather a Guid?
Hi Kyle, yes, that's possible. It's a great idea for a tutorial. I'll make sure to put that one on our list. You would need to use a block component instead of the geometry component and make some smaller adjustments.
Awesome tutorial. I have a question. Is rhino good in design development phase. What I mean is, if I were to draft a 2d plan in rhino, which later on be modeled into 3d and then go back and forth between 2d and 3d with adjustment to the design. Next, when the design is finalized in 3d, is it easy to convert/translate to 2D drawings with section floor plans and etc.
Hi there! Thanks! Absolutely. Rhino is exactly used in a design development phase the most! You can create conceptual models here, showcase your design in multiple ways. There is a plugin for Rhino called VisualArq that allows Rhino to be used as a BIM program, just like Revit and Archicad, so what you're looking for is to export all the documentation drawings with a single click. That's exactly what you can do with VisualArq and you can combine it as well with any type of geometry that already exists in Rhino.
@@HowtoRhino thank you for the reply, i've tried using visualarq just now and it was very good. Unfortunatelt, I can't afford the full/student version. For the while, the trial version is fine for me. Are there any other tools or tips in rhino for the workflow I mentioned eralier? Thank you very much for the respond.
@@mohammadarifnajmuddin6603 If you're using Revit, you can try Rhino Inside Revit which is still in development but allows flawless integration of Rhino geometry with Revit and vice versa. If you're using Archicad, you can try Graphisoft live connection with Grasshopper that does the same thing :)
Great Tutorial! I tried out your Grasshopper script to scatter objects from the new Chaos Cosmos, but Grasshopper seems to change the colours/materials to the preview colour swatch. Is there a way to avoid this and keep the original material? Thanks.
Hi Tri, You can use any human 3D model from Sketchup Warehouse for example, import it in Rhino, explode it and put the red material to it and that would do the trick :)
