  • List Patterns: Cull, Shift, Weave

    Master Grasshopper’s list-pattern components — List Item, Cull, Shift List, Dispatch and Weave — to select, split and recombine data by description instead of clicking. Includes a worked checkerboard panel pattern (and why naive culling gives stripes) plus diagonal bracing drawn from shifted point lists.

  • Graft, Flatten, Simplify: Tree Surgery

    Master the five core data tree operations — Flatten, Graft, Simplify, Trim Tree and Shift Paths — by deliberately causing the classic exploded spider-web result and repairing it three different ways. Includes honest guidance on when Path Mapper is worth its brittleness and when to use right-click input hints instead of canvas components.

  • Data Trees, Demystified

    Data trees are just lists with addresses — learn to read paths like {0;1}, understand item-by-item and longest-list matching, and watch a tree appear as Divide Curve processes multiple curves. Panel and Param Viewer become your permanent inspection kit.
