Point, Plane, and Vector Components | Grasshopper Component Guide

Back to Grasshopper Components Index

This page provides an overview of Grasshopper components used for working with points, planes, and vectors.

These elements form the foundation for positioning geometry, controlling direction, and performing transformations. They are frequently used for tasks such as defining coordinates, creating direction vectors, and setting reference planes.

Below, you can access tutorials for components related to points, planes, and vectors, allowing you to quickly find the tools you need.

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