I also define the geometry of the holes with a 'Center Box' component. The length of the box (lid) changes automatically when the Y value changes. For the X value, I decide to use the operator component 'Multiplication' and the constant 'Golden Ratio' from the 'Maths' group. 'Center Box' and 'Number Slider' for the Y and Z values. I start 'building' the lid of the case using these components: So I decide to start the geometry directly in Grasshopper. There are many component groups, I’m just learning the simple ones, like 'Params', 'Curve', 'Surface' and 'Transform'.įor my final project, I will need a case for the Arduino, electronics, etc, but I don’t know how big the case will be.
If you want to search for a component, you need to double-click on the canvas and type the name of the component. You can click on the components and drag them to the canvas.
To start the plug-in, you need to type ‘Grasshopper’ in the command line. You can use it to create and edit complex shapes. Grasshopper is a Plug-In for parametric design in Rhino and has an interface to create algorithms that generate 3D models. So I install Rhino and Grasshopper on Windows because there are no versions for Ubuntu. I can draw basic shapes and geometry with Rhino, but I haven’t had the chance to learn Grasshopper jet. Pick from the drawing under the tiles' → ‘Opacity’ and And finally, in 'TRACE' I select in '1. In ‘COLOR’ I change the color to black. Shift X: 10 Per column, and Shift Y: 10% per row. ‘SHIFT’ in the Created Tiled Clones windows. So I draw a circle with no outline but with a gradient fill, then the object I want to clone (in red). The greater the opacity, the larger the tile is. The size of the tiles depends on the opacity of the background (in this case the gradient fill). I want to create a pattern with larger tiles in the center of the circle. To open the 'Create Tiled Clones' window go to: It is another way to clone an object and create a pattern at the same time. Inkscape has an interesting feature: Tiled-Clones. If you have many clones of an object and want to know which is the Original object go to >Edit >Clone >Select Original (Shift +D) To clone an object in Inkscape, first select the object and go to
