grasssloper

grasssloper is a grasshopper script that draws a sloper pattern for you from human body measurements. A sloper is a 2D drawing-a pattern-that provides the basis for a 3 dimensional garment that fits accurately. Currently grasssloper contains a torso block and a skirt block; sleeve and pant blocks are to be added.
