Python Advanced


This course teaches Architects how to master advanced modelling techniques in Python. Students will learn how to create Custom Objects and extend them using Inheritance. Students will also learn how to construct a Grid to host objects, make Panels on to a Grid and develop this into a Façade System. Additionally, this course explores the use of Grasshopper in Python.
Best for:

Python users looking to master advanced techniques.

Difficulty:
Duration:
2.5 Hours

Learning Objectives


  1. Participants will be able to construct and edit Classes using Python software.
  2. Participants will be able to use Inheritance functions and Parent Overrides using Python software.
  3. Participants will be able to construct a Grid using Lists in Python software.
  4. Participants will be able to set up a Panelling Facade System using recursive logic in Python software.

What our Members are Saying




This learning platform is world class. Our first and second-year students are now producing work previously only reserved for Masters-level students.




If you want to get ideas out of your brain and into 3D design, or even to 3D printing like me, this is the place to go.




We are excited to roll out this world-class training platform to our Australian and overseas offices.




I really enjoyed the videos, they are so clear and easy to understand. So amazing to see what can be done with Rhino!
