Back to Grasshopper Components Index
This page provides an overview of utility components in Grasshopper.
Utility components handle supportive and auxiliary operations, playing a crucial role in stabilizing entire definitions and improving overall workflow efficiency.
While they may appear simple at first glance, their importance increases as definitions become more complex. On this page, commonly used utility components in practical workflows are organized, allowing quick access to individual explanation articles.
Use this guide to efficiently find and reference the components you need for your purpose.
