Grasshopper | Data Tree Manipulation

20091106_ghx060035_DataTrees_ManipulationThe ability to quickly and efficiently manipulate data in Grasshopper is critical in order to increase design productivity.

This Primer incrementally creates a matrix of points whose addresses are contingent upon the negotiation of 3 Data Trees: X, Y, Z, respectively. The Graft, Simplify, and Flatten Components will be utilized in order to develop an introductory understanding of how Data Trees are created and manipulated.
