Rhino Grasshopper - Walkway Part 01 - Creating a Soild Surface
Tags: 3d Modeling, Grasshopper, Lofting, Parametric modeling, Rhino, Rhino 3dGet the Flash Player to see this player.
Software: Grasshopper in Rhino 4
Description: In this Grasshopper video series we will be re-creating the parametric walkway/bridge that had been done on the site before. In this version of the exercise we’ll create the floor as solid rather than just a surface (i cheated last time 
). Since we don’t have shelling (that I know of) in grasshopper I figured I would write a simple definition to do that f0r me. After this video I will build out the rest of the walkway in a similar fashion to the previous video with a few new techniques along the way. Please let me know if you would model this another way or if you have ideas for the rest of the walk way.
Topics Covered:
- Offsetting Curves
- Lofting
- Exploding a BREP
- Joining Curves
- Creating a solid surface

the video stops at 1/4 of its length.
Works for me. Maybe by server gave out (darn $8 hosting!!!!)
well I’ve tried on an other computer with a different connection and I got the same result. (may be 16$ hosting will be better)
cheers
Great video. No problem watching it…and I’m on a cheap school server!
hola a todo,y saludos muy especiales por la iniciativa de poner estos videos tutoriales en linea pues me estan ayudando mucho a entende la logica de saltamontes.espero poder integrarlo al sitema de tramas modulares espaciales al diseño especifico de tenso estructuras.
Thanks all…
I really need to start messing with this program…
Great and simple way to emulate the 3dmax shell !
David, is there a way to fillet the surfaces and use a curve sweap for the shelling?…trying to emulate the mesh smooth tool from max.
Great job.
Great Mr. Fano…we need this stuff
Useful video…thank you…no problems to see it…
very good for a beginner like me.
thanks David, really appreciate the effort.
finally a way which works!
sorry but i have the sanme problem with claudio when the video get 2:26
while,have keep waiting please,it will go on working seconds later
very good for a beginner like me too！！！
David,
Amazing videos. It’s really rare that I come across a tutorial that’s as well done as yours. We need more of those sort of things. I’m looking forward to seeing what other kind of tutorials are placed up on the site in the future. I have some videos similar to this style for SketchUp (I teach it at Orange Coast College), and I’d love to start contributing some tutorials to sites as good as this.
Talk to you soon,
Matt
thank u for you video ….
I guess I’m the only one…but everytime I give my surface vertical depth, the offset generates the following error: ‘data conversion failed from brep to surface’. I’m new to grasshopper, so any help would be greatly apprecitaed! thanks
I have the same problem as Zack.
