How to move geometry with vectors in Grasshopper

“

- [Instructor] In this video, we'll put our basic vector knowledge to work, by moving geometry in space with the move component, along with some unit vector components. So, our goal here is to move the sphere that right now is centered on this construct point location. First thing we need to do to set up this vector movement, is go to the transform component tab, and look under the Euclidean panel, for the move component. So, moves, first input, asks for a base geometry. In that case, that's going to be our sphere, so we'll plug that in here. Now, move second input asks for a translation vector, so that's the one labeled by T. And by default, it's defined locally as 0.0.10. If I look at what's happening in my Rhino window, I can see the duplicate sphere created by move, it's highlighted green right now, and it's above the original point by 10 units. So, the translation vector has moved the point, zero units in X, zero…
