Worked through the tutorial on Generative Components to generate a simple grid of control lines, as instructed from the video. This alone took a considerable amount of effort as I learned my way around the interface; many of the buttons referenced in the video are represented differently or not at all on the workspace I was on. Maybe I clicked out of some things that would have helped.

Anyway, I will be revisiting the Grasshopper tutorial tomorrow and comparing that system of organization to GC.
