Workshops - Pioneer: Python for Grasshopper in AutoCAD
Unlock the full power of Grasshopper for AutoCAD with Python, driven from AutoCAD with Rhino.Inside. Rhino 8's script components run CPython3, so you write standard Python 3 while reaching straight into the .NET APIs behind RhinoCommon and AutoCAD. Three parts of practical exercises build the core competencies for scripting in Grasshopper, working familiarity with the Rhino and AutoCAD APIs, and the packaging skills to apply both to your existing workflows.
Also available for Revit + Dynamo · Revit + Grasshopper
What you'll build
Write automation that nodes alone can’t
Move beyond visual programming to script directly against the Rhino and AutoCAD APIs, then package what you build as reusable components your whole team can use, all driven from AutoCAD with Rhino.Inside.
What you'll cover
- Python 3 fundamentals for Grasshopper
- Setting up the scripting environment
- Scripting geometry and data
- Working with the AutoCAD document model
- Extending definitions with code
- Reusable, custom components
