Hi there,
looking to sine a circle, not sure what the next step after this should be, can anyone help?
Thank you.

Thanks, was thinking series had to go somewhere, but not sure where, this does it.
Hi Thomas, coming back to this as I am confused about a couple of things, I replicated the process, but for some reason 2*pi outputted a flat curve, so I simplified the components and got this, based on my set up, would you say this is “bad practice” ?
What would you suggest? I am not understanding what 2*pi does as I cannot visually see it on my end, the issue with my set up now is, I have to align the ends by adjusting the sliders up and down, is this normal?
Well, I wish I was as capable as yourself Birk. That is great,
I am at a stage of my grasshopper journey where I feel like I am required to get at least a basic understanding of maths in Grasshopper to be able to create whatever shape and geometry I want, what would you recommend? Just generally did you understand Grasshopper from the get go? I would love to hear it.

No is the answer. But I did understand how programs like Rhino work, at least from a functionsl standpoint. At the time I wanted a piece of software that would let me design things for 3D printing, but that would also let me easily make changes to a design so I could fix problems, make changes, or modify a design to look like something different.
I didn’t know it at the time, but this is called parametric modeling. It became clear that the Grasshopper concept was the best way to do that.
For me the best way to make progress with GH was to focus on what the geometry needed to be, rather than on what Rhino function should be used. Most of the GH modules perform in a fairly straight forward way, and I just kept using the simple obvious ones while also picking up new ones to see how they function.
Got it, makes sense, incidentally, I am trying to learn GH for Additive Manufacturing which is large scale 3DP as you know, hoping to once and for all eliminate the fear of using GH and to get confident enough to make anything I can think of.
I came to Rhino about 5 years ago. I had worked with CAD/CAM my entire career, but never in 3D, all 2 and 2.5D stuff. I flubbed around quite a bit, then finally settled down, modified the interface for the kind of things I do so that I could find things. I am not a command line guru.
Started with GH a few years ago. FINALLY starting to begin to understand the data tree. It has been a long road. Back in the day I did a ton of VB programming, so I do use VB script from time to time. But I try to avoid it.
Good Luck! and hang in there!
