food4Rhino webinar: CAD for all - Raven AI for Grasshopper beginners
23. April 17:00 CEST
Unlock the power of Grasshopper without the learning curve - with Raven AI by your side.
Move faster in Rhino with conversational AI, whether you are a complete Grasshopper newbie or open it occasionally, and with other people scripts.
Raven is built for Rhino and Grasshopper: it reads your scripts, plugins, and custom tools so you can describe intent in plain language, iterate on geometry, and debug in context. This session keeps the camera on Rhino-first workflows: commands, curves, solids, and real files, not on abstract automations.
Join the McNeel team and Raven to see why a CAD-native copilot behaves differently from a generic chat tool, and how to apply it in practice.
In this live session, you will get:
- Ways to turn plain language goals into Rhino native geometry and edits without relying on Grasshopper expert knowledge
- A workflow for debugging and refining modeling and script logic with an assistant that reads your actual file context, and gets it.
- How to tap your plugin ecosystem when you need it, without memorizing every component name
- Examples of Raven across AEC, engineering, and manufacturing when CAD is the hub, not only Grasshopper
Speaker:
Moritz Rietschel is co founder of Raven, building human centered AI tools for design and creativity. His background includes research at UC Berkeley on human-AI collaboration in CAD with Prof. Kyle Steinfeld and robotic fabrication with Prof. Simon Schleicher. He has lectured internationally on AI-based creative tools, hosted workshops at MIT and Tongji, and published peer-reviewed work on LLMs for CAD. Reach out if you want to chat with the Raven team.
Who this is for:
Rhino users who want AI in the CAD loop: from heavy viewport modelers to occasional Grasshopper users. This is not a plugin-heavy Grasshopper deep dive, but for those that want to add AI power to their classic CAD work in Rhino.
