- [Instructor] Hello and welcome. This is the fifth in a series of videos introducing some basic coding practices for non-programmers, non-coders in Grasshopper in Rhino. In this video, I want to talk about object types. When you are working in Grasshopper, there's a lot of flexibility. Grasshopper helps you a lot by converting things seamlessly from one type to another. So, if I bake this, now I have some geometry in Rhino. It's a surface. And I'm going to re-input it back into Grasshopper so I'm going to set one surface. I'm just doing that because now this has all of the data associated with an object in the Rhino document like a GUID. So, now let's see what Grasshopper can do for us. So, first off, I can take this service and I can cast it. I can turn it into just generic geometry because it is generic geometry, all surfaces are geometry. So, that's pretty straightforward and simple. That's not surprising, right? If…
