If I cannot reason with an interface, I don’t bother with it. The simplest thing, like an expectation such as: I select an object in Rhino. Open grasshopper. I look for a big huge RED button button that says “do something with this geometry”, but don’t see it. Click around the tabs and nothing jump…

Is active / deactivate controls by right-click can be a possible case?

[image] David Rutten: Shall I just disable that whole panel UI? Replace it with a button that doesn’t cover the text panel; click the button to see the full dialog that we know and love. It’s a good feature, don’t throw the baby out with the bath water, improve it somehow.

All this talk about the GH Primer and I still don’t have a link to the best/latest one. Anyone want to share their favorites? Also, a good shortcut reference. The ones I’ve seen are formatted badly (at least for my eyes) and missing stuff anyways.

I recall noticing in the past ~6 years that sometimes Grasshopper would launch with a kind of secondary splash/start screen that showed a set of example tutorials under a label like “Getting Started with Grasshopper”. I can’t seem to replicate this behaviour, nor re-activate such a beginner’s scree…

[image] Armin Seltz: There is no “Getting started” screen, no clear way where some learning resources are available and the universe of different websites and resources is a total mess. This isn’t enough for “getting started”…? [image] [image] Learn to use Rhino Learn to use Rh…

It’s enough, but I meant that it could show that INSIDE Grasshopper. It’s a very common pattern that there is a getting started screen (that can of course be hidden after the first launch) which shows exactly these kinds of resources and could include the very first video in the getting started scre…

Too bad there isn’t a link to that page on the Grasshopper ‘Help’ menu ( from here ): [image] Also, that URL is way too complex: https://www.rhino3d.com/learn/?query=kind:%20jump_start%20tag:%20grasshopper Would be better as: https://www.rhino3d.com/l…

These are good. I think that’s the latest Modelab Primer too, but the PDF link appears to be dead:

These might do it:

Edit: The Modelab Primer PDFs are available via their GitHub:
