Our computational team is getting bigger and more people are coming in with varying skill level. The issue I’ve seen with GH (and most visual scripting) is that things can look like spaghetti code very quickly. Is there some resource/ tips and tricks that can point us to commenting and writing GH sc…

Some people like to use Scribbles to annotate stuff, others like Panels or a combination of both. In order to avoid everything looking like spaghetti you can neatly arrange the components in relation to each other, partition relevant parts of the definitions into groups - which can also be annotate…

I would make a template with vertical lines to strucutre the process and group colours(like layers and ctb), also restrict the max. component count and break the defs into smaller chunks with data input/output or hops.

Hi Jack - [image] jack_dumanat: My aim is to make script more legible for any skill level to jump in and read. If others only need to use (i.e. not modify) the definitions and there is concern that spaghetti code will put them off or makes it hard to know what parameters can be changed and w…

Hi some tips from my side: 1.) In GH you can import curves from Rhino as scribbles. This allows you to draw little sketches. A tiny sketch is sometimes much more descriptive. 2.) Subdivide your definition into “black boxes”. A user doesn’t need to know how it works, but it has to be clear what it…

As you might have noticed, I have interpreted the SOLID programming principles. Unfortunately, you can not fully apply them to Grasshopper. Especially, the “injection” of logic/code from outside a black box is not directly possible, because you can not provide components as parameters. Which means y…
