Analysis Components | Grasshopper Component Guide

Back to Grasshopper Components Index

This page provides an overview of Grasshopper components used for various types of analysis.

Analysis components are used to extract information from geometry and evaluate its properties, such as elements of a model, length, area, distance, curvature, surface normals, and other geometric characteristics.

They are essential not only for creating geometry, but also for extracting, evaluating, and understanding it.

Below, analysis-related components are organized so you can easily access detailed tutorials for each one.

Please refer to the appropriate components based on your specific goals and use cases.
