Hi everyone! Let me know if you have any questions in the comments below! :)

This man explains the fundamentals too well. I subscribed hearing the first few seconds on his explanations. I do have five years with Grasshopper and still I find this material EXCELLENT for review, learning and generalizations.

This GUY IS a great teacher.

You are a hero. You are saving the world.

[tikserziku]

Thank you very much. I watch your lessons on Sketchup too. But I'm just starting to learn these.

[ummarfarooquepk]

Hi...thanks
we need more video tutorials about grasshopper

[lakshithadill]

i learned fusion 360 by watching your videos. and in think it is perfect that you post videos design 3D objects that difficult object.you are a good smart teacher. thank you sir...

Man Thanks iam working on rhino last 2 year but icant understand grasshopper but now i can follow slowly thanks for ur effort man waiting for more tutorial love you from india ❤️👍

[isab.Elle]

oh my gosh this was so helpful! Thank you!!

Came here from your sketchup videos and really enjoying the content. Would love to know more about grasshopper- a video on how grasshapper could help to model a house would be great. Showing how to create a brickwall with pointing joint for instance <3

Hello Justin, just wanted to let you know that you could right click the rotate component and change the radians to degrees. You don't need that extra component.

[graeme]

Nice tutorial. Do you have any ideas about how you might control the height of the extrusions with a curve, like a 'rail' curve. Imagine a copy of the curve you are arraying along, raised up & of variable height & this would represent the extrusion distance. Hope that makes sense.

Hey Justin, no more news on the Rhino front? love your vids (alike on sketchup!) and follow you since you come from the SU angle into Rhino. Would like to hear your opinion on this all perhaps?

[josyph]

Hi how do you add multiple floors to buildings, for example an office building?

[stasakolakovic]

How about a non-planar curve? I have a ramp and would like to array window mullions, but they get all messed up.

[thimandersen]

If preferred, one could right click on Angle and then choose degrees, instead of having to add a new component.

Hey, I wonder why you dont have your other channles linked on this one. But all your others Are linked together?

I hope you make more rhino Vids althought it's not bringing as much subs as the other programms! You make great tutorials and I wish for more!

[Jazmin-ynlj]

Hi! Excelent video. I have a question. How can I do if I need parts of this elements of the path to have a different figure? For example, another length or form? But I still want it to be in the path

[EdwardTilley]

How to embed this new stair into an existing .3dm? I notice that I can't easily select and move this stair once grasshopper creates it.

[peterplus]

Did you choose sketchup over Rhino? Did you think it was much faster and practical? Since, you are only sticking to Sketchup. Thanks

[Sykophantic]

Justin have you ever used MOI3D before?
