Grasshopper Level 1 Training Course - Live and Online

Join Simply Rhino's experienced Grasshopper3D trainers for your perfect introduction to parametric modelling with our live, online and certified Grasshopper course. Our courses are always delivered to a small group where Q&A is encouraged and personal attention is possible.

The aim of this Grasshopper course is to improve your workflow with Grasshopper3D and to give you an overall understanding of parametric thinking. We will explore all the native tools of Grasshopper and their relationship to Rhinoceros as well as their data structure and general concepts such as data types, data matching and lists.

Grasshopper Level 1 Course Outline and Outcome

Grasshopper being a visual programming platform, the course will take you on a journey through mathematics, algorithms and computer science and explain applied examples of concepts such as vector geometry and trigonometry. We will show examples from the real world and try to reproduce them to confront you with real-life scenarios.

Although the course is based on a pre-defined schedule, each Grasshopper class is always different depending on the audience and requests happening throughout. We will make sure that the class matches your expectations and ambitions with the software. Most importantly, we want you to leave the class inspired and ready to use and create with the software at all stages of design.

Course Target Audience - Grasshopper Beginners

The class is aimed at complete beginners in Grasshopper and parametric thinking but it is preferable to have an intermediate level in Rhinoceros. Although Grasshopper is mostly used for design, the class is about parametric thinking and workflow and therefore is not addressed at a specific profession. Over the past several years of delivering this Grasshopper Level 1 we have had architects, engineers, industrial designers, jewellery designers, contractors, project managers and artists attending the class.

Really informative course and tutor was very knowledgeable and available in between classes to help with any issues.
