Hi everyone,
As a beginner, I struggled a lot to create all the variations of a component with this procedures:
-create the geometry with different body and do boolean operation using GHPython
-bake the geometry to have it in rhino
-save the geometry in a specific file with a specific name
Now that I succeedeed by mixing all of the differents information I found online, I provide an example file to realize parametric design and to export it with different file extensions and filename as well.
But I still wonder: isn’t it an easiest way to generate all the components for one family of component using rhino or grasshopper?
The python script used in grasshopper can be found here
and the alternative script in txt (to copy paste in a GH component) can be found here
An example of what I created using this script is shown here.
Let me know if you have good hints to improve those kind of practice.
Cheers,

It seems very interresting but my pc (windows 10) consider this file as dangerous !
Hello,
To avoid those kind of behavior from your computer, I added a .txt file which will not be seen has as treat by your system. All you have to do is to copy paste the content of the component in a Python GH component and change the path (line 34) to match yours 
Let me know if you have any trouble.
Cheers,
Hi there. Im learning GH, too and your example code was pretty inspiring! Thanks 
My task is to bake object with the visual arq plugin, but this is quite difficult, cause the VA objects are not known by Rhino… I found out that I can bake them with the Elefont 6 node, but it doesnt work out in my python scripts, because the node takes some seconds to bake the geometry and the script doesnt wait for the code to be baked…
If you are interested to take a closer look and have some experiences wit Va, I can send you some files
