Grasshopper Basics: Understanding Data Trees

Ойын-сауық

Here is a beginners look into Data tree management.
Also I sort of meant to redo the first algorithm but after a while I went a little more freestyle to cover more topics.
If you are wondering how I made the renderings at the end, I made the algorithms spit out hundreds of different iterations and save them in a specific folder with a specific naming convention. I then wrote a code inside of modo, that looked into the folder and replaced the geometry in every frame of the animation. Took me a very long time to figure out and just in case anybody ask, no, I do not give the code out, figure it out on your own.

    THIS IS THE CENTRAL TOPIC of parametric architecture. You don't know how much this material helps us. Everything, virtually everything depends on a data tree and a list. Without these we can't argue what parametric architecture is. All our technology is centered in this exact topic.

    I am a structural engineer and I am trying to apply GH & other plugins in my work. I understood that without understanding data management I was not going to go very far. I was looking for a video like this. Really enjoyed the approach with simple and easy steps. Thank you very much and well done on the King's Tower it looks amazing!!

    I constructed exactly the example. This is super revealing. You are an excellent teacher. This is a flawless introduction to path mapper and masking. It's all about the data tree, lists, domains and series. This is the heart of programming and of course the loops.

    Nice video. Thanks a lot for sharing it. One thing I can't understand in data trees, how matching data in data trees of different depth works. It's really confusing. Sometimes it acts like cross-referencing, and sometimes like matching by the 'longest list'. But I don't understand why it's different for various cases

    It depends on the structure the branches and the number of items in each branch. So lets say you have two different branch depths but in the end the have the same number of items, gh will treat it as if they were in the same depth. It also depends on the tool and other factors. It sounds like the concept of how branches interact with each other based on the hierarchy is what hasn't clicked for you. Without seeing your examples I wouldn't know exactly where is the disconnect. The rhino grasshopper forums are a good place to show your algorithm and others can help. If you do post it, send a link here and I'll see if I can help you figure out the problem.

    Thanks for your videos! I'm just a starter in GH, so much to learn ahead ... A question: I have a simple list with a bunch of items in it (the number of items in the list varies depending on modifying model inputs but it remains always(!) dividable by 4). So, a simple list with let's 100 items in it, how can I transform this list into a tree with 25 branches with 4 items in each branch? First 4 items to a branch, next 4 items to 2nd branch, next 4 items to 3rd branch a so on. How can I do it? Thx

    A friend of mine tried it and from what I remember it wasn’t a very good system. I think it becomes a bottleneck if things get to complex. Not really sure though, their might be plug ins that also have streamlined the process since then. Try the site food 4 Rhino, plug ins are released all the time there.
