Automated Dimensioning and Type-Based Grouping of Composite Panels in Grasshopper (step by step)

Описание: In this video, we dive deep into fully automating the fabrication (shop drawing) process for facade composite panels using Grasshopper.

The focus of this tutorial is to build an algorithm that takes pre-unrolled panel geometries and converts them into production-ready, fully dimensioned, and tagged technical drawings. You will see step-by-step how we replace hours of manual dimensioning, coding, and layout work with a parametric workflow.

⚠️ Important Note on the Process: Composite panel fabrication drawings should actually consist of 2 parts: Part 1: Unroll drawings of composite panels in any modulation. Since I am still working on resolving this part, in this video, I am demonstrating the 2nd part of the process.

🛠️ About the Plugins Used: If some of the components I use are not in your program, you can download them by searching their names from this site: 🔗 https://grasshopperdocs.com/completeI...

I have divided the definition into 5 main technical parts to make it easier to follow:

00:00 Geometry Prep: Defining boundaries and references for the fabrication base.
10:28 Data Management: Organizing panel lists and sorting data for processing.
18:03 Auto-Dimensioning: Algorithmically generating cutting and folding dimensions.
27:44 Smart Tagging: Applying unique ID tags and text labels to the geometry.
32:50 Sheet Layout: Arranging all drawings for print or CNC layout and final output.
