Key Concepts

Conditional Parameters

Mathematical conditions are used here to enable increase and decrease of members with increase in span. These relationalities behaves like 'if' and 'then' statements.

Graft and Flatten

Sets and matrix is crucial to understand to control the simultaneous modifications across multiple elements. Graft and Flatten are 2 concepts that help control the branching in grasshopper components
