Stop sharing your Grasshopper files!
Sharing Grasshopper files feels fast because it avoids a “proper delivery step”. In practice, it creates the exact problems that slow projects down later: I P exposure, fragile dependencies, a UI that only the author understands, and a support burden that scales with every new stakeholder . If you are currently sending .gh files to clients, colleagues, or partners, you don’t need to rebuild your process from scratch. Y ou usually need one thing: a way to keep the definition under your control while letting others use it safely through a clean interface. That’s what ShapeDiver is for.
