New Grasshopper 2-alpha

A new Grasshopper 2.a version is going out today. It contains a bunch of new components and fixes (most crucially fixes to the Preset Picker, which would not correctly reinstate itself during file open).

This new version is linked to Rhino 8.7, however there are a few components which will not work unless you install a fairly recent pre-release. These include the Voronoi and Constrained Meshing components:

Also the interior of the new Region type will not include the stippling in the viewport display:

It should still work on Rhino 8.7, just without the stipples.

I’ve been trying GH2 every now and then after new releases, but haven’t found a component similar to Deconstruct Brep. It is one of the most fundamental things in many of my workflows, but probably not implemented yet?

True. I was out last month*, sorry for the late reply.

Edit: added as Explode Surface

* (part of it I was hiking from Hetta to Pallas. Lovely route, shame about the mosquitos.)

Ah, the Finnish summer up in the north…

Great addition, thanks!

Hi David,

I hope this message finds you well!

Thanks for this release. There seems to be a lot of ongoing development and activity, and every one and then I have a look and things are looking very promising.

It’s been a long wait, , and I know many of us are eagerly waiting for any updates on the release timetable, as I’m (and my collegues) really excited to use Grasshopper 2 for a real project. I know you probably get tired of this question :wink: and it will be ready when it’s ready, but even a hint of beta release would be amazing.

Thanks a lot for all the hard work that goes into this amazing tool.

Hi David! The stippling image you showed made me wonder – is there a tool in GH to get the circles and rectangles from the points distributed that way in the image (or better yet – curves!)?

Also, it’s great to see Explode Surface added!
