Getting Started with Python 3 for Grasshopper (1 hr)
The goal of this tutorial is to develop parametric design workflows using Python 3 scripting. Students will learn to generate and manipulate point lists, define reusable functions, construct point grids using nested loops, and extract information from existing geometry. The tutorial focuses on building efficient, code-based parametric models as an alternative to visual programming.
