Learn About Lists And Data Tree Structures In Grasshopper 3D

How to organize, manipulate, and visualize complex data sets

What you'll learn

Learn how to manage and manipulate data in Grasshopper: creating, visualizing and managing lists

Learn how to understand Data Tree Structures, match data streams and organize complex data sets

Skills to structure your data and streamline your workflows with confidence

Learn how Grasshopper organizes information, how to navigate and modify data hierarchies

Learn how how to use key components to sort, filter, graft, flatten, and structure data for effective parametric modeling

Requirements

Basic Rhino 3D and Grasshopper experience is an advantage

Description

This course offers a clear and practical introduction to lists and data tree structures—essential tools for anyone working with Grasshopper 3D. You'll learn how Grasshopper organizes information, how to navigate and modify data hierarchies. Through a combination of hands-on exercises and conceptual explanations, you'll explore how to use key components to sort, filter, graft, flatten, and structure data for effective parametric modeling. Whether you're an architect, designer, or digital artist, this course will give you the skills to structure your data and streamline your workflows with confidence.Designed for beginners and intermediate users alike, this course will help you:Understand the logic behind Grasshopper’s data structureWork confidently with lists and hierarchical data treesUse key components to control and manipulate data pathsBuild cleaner parametric definitionsStructure of the course:1. INTRODUCTION- What will you learn?2. LISTS- Creating and Manupulating Lists- Visualizing Lists- Creating Lists using Random component- Graph Mapper3. DATA TREE STRUCTURES- All about Data Tree Structures- Exercise - Image SamplerThis course builds foundational skills essential for advanced generative design workflows. No prior experience is required—just a basic familiarity with Rhino and Grasshopper. It is part of the comprehensive Grasshopper course entitled "Learn Rhino Grasshopper 3D from scratch". Tutorials are done with Rhino v8 version, but you can follow them without problems if you have other versions.
