This week's session is up and running in the classroom for premium members!! Check it out!

Have you ever had Grasshopper freeze on you, forcing a complete restart of Rhino + GH? We've all been there. It's a frustration every user has faced countless times over the years. It breaks your logic-building flow. It leads to lost work in Rhino or GH. Sometimes, it's just an accidental wrong connection, or forgetting to manage a Data Tree structure, that triggers a massive computation, instantly locking up the entire calculation chain. Usually, when these accidental calculations happen, waiting is futile. The only option is to give up your progress, "End Task", and restart. Sometimes, our patience crashes right along with GH. 🤯 🚀 Introducing Watchdog for Grasshopper (Open-source) Think of it as a "Circuit Breaker" for your parametric definitions. It runs quietly in the background, monitoring your solution time. If a calculation exceeds your set limit (e.g., 5 seconds): It forcibly cuts the power. It stops the calculation loop. It gives you control back to the canvas. How to get it: You can find it on Food4Rhino, search "Watchdog" Or type PackageManager in Rhino 7/8. Install & Enjoy safety! Feel free to fork the repo, submit a PR, or just drop a ⭐️ if you find it useful. https://github.com/Y-Peng-Dev/Watchdog https://www.food4rhino.com/en/app/watchdog?lang=en Note: Although certain atomic operations (e.g., complex Boolean unions) cannot be interrupted mid-process, Watchdog effectively prevents the data from propagating downstream after the timeout.

i'm still learning the dynamics of the crane plug-in, but i think this example file i've been working on is interesting! In this post i've left the gh file. Plug-in can be found on https://www.food4rhino.com/en/resource/origami-crane

Hi everyone! just wanted to let you know that this session is now out for my premium members!! Description: This Grasshopper tutorial explores point-based form generation using Graph Mapper and value remapping to create controlled wave variations. Displaced points are scaled from a central reference to form beam-like elements, resulting in a continuous pavilion in plan and elevation. The session focuses on core Grasshopper fundamentals—point manipulation, data mapping, and transformation—and how abstract data becomes architectural form.

I’ve just released a brand-new tutorial session titled Circle Canopy.This session is now available exclusively to our Premium Tier members and can be accessed directly through the classroom. Enjoy, and happy learning! Description; Circle Canopy is a Grasshopper-based workflow where graph-mapped curves drive a lofted surface, randomly perforated with circular openings. Contours are sampled, projected, and connected to form a forest of structural pillars.
