Description

Archicad - Grasshopper live connection is an amazing toolset developed in last years that bridges the gap between two major AEC industry practices of BIM and algorithmic modelling. This is an advanced course developed for people that already know both Archicad and Grasshopper to show some very practical applications of the live connection.


I encourage you to take my "Grasshopper: Beginner to Advanced" course before starting with this one since this one will assume that you already have good command of Grasshopper.
