Vectors, Planes and Transformations in Grasshopper

Vectors

A Vector is a geometric quantity describing Direction and Magnitude. They are abstract.

Points and vectors are difficult to distinguish, they are both a list of values.

A vector always starts at (0,0,0) and ends at the specific coordinate.

We can easily manipulate them by using mathematical operators:

Vectors

Planes

Origin

Unit vectors

Transformations

Move

Rotation

Scaling

Reorientation

Color
