About the Python training course

Bespoke intensive Python training is available for your staff. They will receive a comprehensive overview of digital design software, equipment and techniques accompanied with targeted practical hands on experience.

To start with, you will learn the essentials of Python. Students will learn how to run a script, the difference between the different Variables and Data Types and how to import Rhino Commands into Python. They will also learn how to use Lists, Loops and how to create a simple Panelling Grid.

Next you will learn how to use the interface, develop basic and advanced drawing skills and will learn the essentials of using Functions, Conditionals and Recursions.

Finally you’ll learn how to build Classes, objects, use Inheritance and construct a Grid system. The course will take you through how to make panels and a Facade system and how to use Grasshopper as a User Interface for Python.
