Parametric Facade (Grasshopper Tutorial)

In this Grasshopper tutorial, we will model a parametric facade based on the twisting louvers of the Luanda sports Pavilion. First, we will model a straight surface and then we will divide it to vertical strips by using the Isotrim command and then we will use a line to define the openings.

Thanks man the voiceover was really helpful in understanding the lists and whats really going on

[henning_jasper]

Your tutorials are really helpful and very high quality. Keep them coming!

[kummer]

The tutorial was transparent and very illustrative. I'm trying to solve the same problem with two lines instead of one. It's an intriguing problem.

You sir are a genius! Thank you so much.

Great video! At point 9:00 8 can’t join the up, middle, and down curves to the plug curve to join the loft

Great tutorial! 1.5 speed is even more clear hhhh

I think there's an easier way to convert the surfaces into solids, use the offset surface node, then loft them and then join all 3 surfaces with brep join. Seems to work nice
Also thank you for the tutorial !!!

Can i apply this into curved surface? Do you have tutorial video about that?

[MEGALODONSHA]

Thank you for the material! how to make dotted connections between notes? I only get solid lines. because of this, I can't build a loft.

hi. first thanks for this tutorial. i did try this today but when i try to connect list items and rotate with a curve, i cant connect two items. if i connect rotate with curve, i cant connect anything anymore. do you know why? cause i am trying to learn grasshopper so new so i didnt get it. thanks

Hi! This has been so helpful!! Is it possible if I could add some parametric distribution of an object over the louver? Like distributing small square pyramids over each strip? I tried to do that but the only way I could think of is using isotrim and area to get a plane to orient my object on the strips. But I was facing problems doing it. It would be extremely helpful if you could guide me on this.

Brilliant tutorial. Can you show how we can lay the components for laser cutting?

[ALX]

is there anyway to adjust the intensity of the rotation with respect to the number of panels? For example if i set the number of panels up to 20, the first panels in the series wont turn until i increase the angle, the that time the panels in the end of the series have douled over, something that would be rather unfeasable to fabricate in real life

Hi, I have a question! At 13:34, when you connected "curve" to "offset curve", why it cannot choose the direction of offset curve in that battery?

[mohamedelabasery]

hi thank you for the very useful tutorial and i have a question about how to aplly curved surface .. it makes a problem when i set it in grasshopper?

[mariyahaljneibi]

Thanks for this tutorial. I tried following it with a surface I created but when I bake it's not really dividing my surface and instead of rotating the louvres it just created circles on the curve I created to divide my original surface...

[juanpoblete]

How would I add a second line that also creates openings so that I have 2 instead of 1, I copied the commands we already made (Curve > Point on Curve > Line > Surface Split) and while that does create the second line it does not create another set of openings on the surface

Anyway thanks for the awesome tutorial!

Hi, when i use the DBrep to get the top and bottom edge, i use to change edges to reverse. If i don't it keeps picking up the vertical lines. Howcome?

[bobdmb]

Great tutorial! I really like your style!
