Site Modeling

Site models could be calculated for laser cutting easily using Grasshopper’s native components. This definition was a practical one we created in the Parametric Modeling course to see that Grasshopper could also be utilized to prepare fabrication documents not generating design outcomes. However, this definition is a draft one and could be improved more by putting labels inside of each cut piece, trimming the edges properly and so on. It is good news for students at least that they have a chance to generate topography models from the AutoCAD maps mostly used in Turkey. They can simply import the points of these maps and then apply the patch in Rhino or Grasshopper to create the surface.

Here is the Grasshopper definition (right click + save target file): [GHX: 0.9.0076][2]
