 USER GUIDE

INTRODUCTION

Drakon is a Rhino and Grasshopper Plug-in with focus on Jewelry Creation. 
Designed by fully parametric components which combined allow unlimited possibilities for interactive jewelry pieces. 
This user guide provides an extended documentation for each component options. 
Once the Plug-in is loaded into Grasshopper a new tab will appear. Drakon tab is divided into different category menus and each one contains several components. After left click on the tool it will be loaded into the Gh canvas and from here we will be able to start customizing each one to create unique combinations and generating unlimited possibilities. 
Each builder follows a very simple process, from one side it needs input values to be able to output results. 
These components allow us to input values on the left side which are used to generate the output results. The workflow consists in combining the different components between themselfs, generating fully parametric jewelry parts. The pieces can be builded in such a way that being always connected allow every detail to be changed on the fly and easily adapt the entire model, keeping design measurements and proportions.
