Workflow

To build a timber frame Model in Grasshopper, you need to:

• create beams.
• define joint_rules for the interactions between the Beams.
• optional: define other features.

Based on this, the model component takes care of generating the final geometry of the structure.

Important!

• You can add any number of joint_rules, but there is a hierarchy of how they are applied:
• There are three Types of Joint Rules 1. By Topology, 2. by Category and 3. Direct Joints. Direct Joints will overwrite Category Rules, Category Rules will overwrite Topology Rules.
• The Joints are processed first, then Features.
