thank you very much for the post. it's been kind of hard trying to get into geometry in grasshopper especially since i never used rhino before, therefore already having a syntactic handicap in terms of the way one is able to execute certain operations. an additional question however, is there a way to "import" objects to be patterned or should one draw them in grasshopper? i hope that last question is somewhat clear.
