I just recently stumbled upon the concept of blocks in rhino and was thinking of potential uses for it, this video clarified it further, so thank you! This gave me the idea of using blocks in brick wall modeling, could be more efficient
I've been following you for quite some time, and this time I subscribed. Actually, Rhino modelling is not difficult but digging into the fund of shapes and structures is very difficult. Thanks for every content you've been created. Keep it up, we are waiting for every next videos.
That´s very useful! Thanks for sharing it! Quick thought... Is there a way to create a block inside a grasshopper definition so you can change parameters to the block and then using the updated version into another more complex definition??... imagine creating a block for every repeated piece so you could optimize the definition with the beneffits of adjusting parameters like thickness, X and Y section... Right now I´m working on a definition that reorients adjustable objects, instead of building every single object from scratch... That is a way to optimize the definition and have fewer calculations, but it would be awesome to build a library of adjustable items that then could be "summoned" to your projects. With the beneffits of being a block.
Oh yea - of course. Check out DefineBlock grasshopper tool (same Human plugin) - you can automatically define any GH geometry as a block (as well as overwrite the data of an existing block)
Yes, of course. Since our starting beam "master block" is 1m long - the Scale factor, that's used to strech the beams to their correct lenght is literally the lenght of each beam in meters. Using Panel you can export this list in an CSV excel formay or using textTag3D you can show the size of each beam next to it
Hi Geddi, I'm having a problem when orienting the planes, and that is that for some reason when I make random curves and look for the perpendicular planes, the x, y -axes, simply do not coincide. I've already tried "rotate plane", but it doesn't work, it just rotates them independently and each has a mismatched address. Any suggestions, thank you.
_ nice vid as ussual! love the way how you show your mistakes, explain and fix them. _ your last example can be done with Wasp. any ideas about doing tuts about this plugin?
Nicest teacher to ever exist😊

Oh yea - blocks definitely increase efficiency dramatically!

Thanks for the sub :) very much appreciated
Thanks you very much for your hard work in making many helpful tutorials!! Now i can finally adapt how to use my rhino block with gh XDD
Happy to help!
we dont deal w/ radiants w r not a bunch of nerds hahahahahah
yet we r using grasshopper hahahaha
thX for this amaaawing tutorial
Well I'm not wrong - only nerds and psychopaths feel comfortable using radians.
thank you !!!

@@DesignGoBrr Interesting! I´ll use it for my current project, thanks for sharing knowledge!
Very interesting. Is there a way to create a Cut-list (or BOM) of the resulted beams?
Yes, of course. Since our starting beam "master block" is 1m long - the Scale factor, that's used to strech the beams to their correct lenght is literally the lenght of each beam in meters. Using Panel you can export this list in an CSV excel formay or using textTag3D you can show the size of each beam next to it
@@DesignGoBrr tnx, great tutorial btw
Is there a way to preview the geometry before actually baking?
edit: Using the Elefont Insert Block places the block preview without needing to bake
Yup, Elefront extends the block usability!
Muy apreciado ! Gracias
connected was accurate
24:59 I think because you drew the line from top to bottom.
Must be it!
Say there were 2 beam blocks to be assigned among 4 lines. How would that be handled?
Im on rhino 8 for the first time on grasshopper and i cant find the command place block. Did it change?
For some reason to me looks like Gucci head office :)
How do i get the same cursor he has? It would be so helpfull to me.

If all goes well - I'll do much more than just using WASP. Don't want to spoil anything :)
wtf this is amazing
-me, structural engineer
Ooh, then watch part 2 if you want to cringe
Hi Guy!!! Rhino 6 or 7 ?
Hello person. Rhino 7
too short to satisfy
Part 2 is being made
