Organizing complex definitions with clusters

“

- [Instructor] In the last video, we looked at adding named views, or basically location bookmarks on our canvas, to help us navigate a complex definition in Grasshopper. In this video, we'll look at another technique, we're working with big definitions, and that is using a technique called clustering. So I'm continuing right where I left off in the last video. Clustering is a way for us to take multiple components in Grasshopper, and basically condense them into one sort of mega component. So looking at my definition here, I might want to take all of this stuff that's leading up to the part where I'm drawing out the two dimensional spline profiles, so that's where I'm essentially making the 2D drawing that I can see here in Rhino. What I'd like to do is select all of this stuff, that's in between that spline profile's group, and this cell pattern input group. So selecting all those objects, I'm going to right-click on the canvas and select cluster, and you can see, all of those…
