Stop sharing your Grasshopper files!

Sharing Grasshopper files feels fast because it avoids a “proper delivery step”. In practice, it creates the exact problems that slow projects down later: I P exposure, fragile dependencies, a UI that only the author understands, and a support burden that scales with every new stakeholder . If you are currently sending .gh files to clients, colleagues, or partners, you don’t need to rebuild your process from scratch. Y ou usually need one thing: a way to keep the definition under your control while letting others use it safely through a clean interface. That’s what ShapeDiver is for.

Originally, we were planning on doing this event as an in-person workshop directly at McNeel's HQs in sunny Barcelona, Spain... but apparently 2020 had other plans for the rest of us!
