The Algorithmic explorations is my favorite part of the part A study. At the beginning, doing the first exercise, I thought I just follow what tutor did in the class and just remember the steps, then I can have the same outcome. However, when I get home I found I am totally wrong. I just follow what tutor has done in class, then I found the Brep Plane cannot work. It suggests there is a running error. At that time, I realize studying grasshopper is unlike other software, we have to understand the parameter before using it. Just a small mistake will make the whole system not work. After checking what I have done,

finally I found the reason why the Brep Plane cannot work. It dues to the curve I have drew in rhino. Turn on the control point, adjusting relocating the curve, I found the Brep Plane works. Then I realize the big advantage of parametric modeling, when you make a mistake, you can easily find where is the problem. When adjusting the wrong element, all the parameters will update automatically like a math function to work out the final result. After this simple furniture exercise, in order to control the grasshopper better, I realize in the future study, I have to develop algorithmic thinkingunderstand every parameter you are using and knowing how to modify the code to explore new options.
