Right (next 4 images) : Early model in AutoCad prior to switching Rhino3d. The geometry and configuration remained basically the same but was refined as fabrication progressed and issues were worked out. The nice thing about ACAD was its powerful block tech. It could essentially create your material/component lists with as much information as you wanted to input. In the end, Grasshopper for Rhino works far beyond the block tech. |
