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

[@InspiredScience]

Justin, it appears you are not creating Rhino videos any longer although you're still doing Sketchup.
Can you create a video that elaborates on your thought process?
I love the ease of SketchUp, yet Rhino is so much more powerful, particularly when 2D work is required (there are many times that simply importing from AutoCAD/etc isn't enough).
Thank you!

[@kummer45]

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.

[@GrantJolanta]

You are a hero. You are saving the world.

[@ummarfarooquepk683]

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

[@tikserziku]

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

[@lakshithadill4168]

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...

[@2spacedesign842]

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.Elle1111]

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

[@NonLethalGhost]

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.

[@alexerwee7737]

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

[@graeme6539]

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.

[@josyph123]

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

[@fransvanderwerf7485]

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?

[@kingkasma4660]

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-yn5lj]

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

[@thimandersen1193]

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

[@stasakolakovic]

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

[@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.

[@WMBayouLures]

Hey Justin, thanks for making these videos! is there a way to scale the objects in an array? For example I want to make an array with 4 spheres but each sphere grows 10% from the original sphere

[@luzzambrano9836]

I want to know the same 🙃

[@peterplus2001]

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

[@aiswariyarajan-a4120]

need more videos on rhino software in rhino essentials please

[@zainabalknery1035]

Hello
I have some designs with problems. Could you help me please?

[@giorgioangelini4399]

I constructed a curve using Grasshopper and am trying to array the objects off that curve. But when i connect everything, the array goes in some other wide direction. Ive baked the curve. Made the object plane at the base of the curve. Not sure why it's not following the curve path. Any ideaS?

[@Sykophantic]

Justin have you ever used MOI3D before?

[@damniuwu8995]

How much does this software is? Or where can I get it ?

[@abeyjohnson8924]

How to make the height vary with another curve on top?

[@rajivsporkslede7860]

Is there a way to create instant walls in Rhino? An line that comes with instant thickness of wall.

[@NonLethalGhost]

Yes you could offset both sides with the desired thickness and extrude to your desired height

[@peterblank4027]

Hopefully you could do more practical subjects like architecture, or other naturally designed objects. Grasshopper seems like a lot of redundant complexity that takes a lot of time to create some accidental abstract forms....thanks.

[@rainbowgaming8441]

wow i had no idea this software was still around

[@rajivsporkslede7860]

How to create components in Rhino the same as Sketchup, that when you edit it all of his instances will edit along with it.

[@thimandersen1193]

They are called Blocks in Rhino and they function exactly like in Sketchup
