Leveraging NURBS: Reparameterization

“

- [Instructor] I have my exercise file open already. In this video, I'm going to talk a little bit about reparameterization. Reparameterization is the transformation of a set of values or numbers, from one interval to another. This is important because these intervals are how we interrogate our sample points from curves and surfaces in Rhino. So let's take a look, I have a surface here that I'm visualizing. I'm going to grab my Evaluate Surface Component, plug in my surface, plug in my point, and I can see I'm getting a sample point, but that sample point is only moving within a little corner of my surface. So this is an easy thing to fix, I right-click, Reparameterize. And now I've reset the interval of my surface to be zero to one and zero to one in both axes. So this is the most common process in Grasshopper when you're dealing with reparameterization and typically, within a script, you'll just reparameterize everything, so each surface is always being reset on that zero to one…
