  • Meshes vs Breps: Choosing Your Geometry

    What actually separates a Brep from a mesh, when each earns its place, and how to convert between them without wrecking precision or performance. Covers Mesh Brep settings, welding and naked-edge checks, and why fabrication pipelines and Kangaroo’s mesh goals expect meshes rather than Breps.

  • Surfaces, Isotrim and Panelling

    Turn any freeform surface into a fabrication-aware panel grid: understand UV space, panel with Divide Domain² and Isotrim, orient geometry with surface frames, morph modules across cells with Surface Box and Box Morph, and measure panel planarity with Plane Fit before the workshop does.

  • Curves: Divide, Evaluate, Frames

    Master curve parameter space, division and frames in Grasshopper — from reparameterising and Evaluate Curve to the Perp Frames vs Horizontal Frames decision — then apply it all by building perpendicular ribs along a 3D rail curve.
