I'm starting with a blank file in Grasshopper and our exercise file in Rhino. Let's go to the "Params component tab" and under "Geometry," let's bring in a geometry parameter, for our base geometry and a surface for our target surface. I'll right click on the Geometry Parameter and select Multiple Geometries. Just remember our base geometry is made up of two solid objects. So I'll click to select both of those and hit enter when I'm done. Let's go back to Grasshopper. I'll right click on Surface and click on Set One Surface. Back to Rhino, I'll click to select my target surface. I also want to make sure on this surface parameter, that I right click and select Reparameterize, that'll set the local U and V coordinates, to a range of zero to one and that's going to make our paneling operation…
