Grasshopper is the graphical algorithm editor bundled with Rhino that lets designers build parametric models without scripting.
Grasshopper is a visual programming environment tightly integrated with Rhino's 3D modeling tools, in which designers assemble node-based graphs that generate and modify geometry parametrically. It requires no knowledge of programming or scripting, and graphs connect Rhino geometry, data, and components into reusable computational recipes.
An extensive add-on ecosystem built on Grasshopper covers analysis, BIM, fabrication, robotics, and environmental simulation, supporting a large computational-design community across architecture and engineering. McNeel continues to develop the platform, with a next-generation Grasshopper 2 in progress alongside the version bundled in Rhino 8.
