Grasshopper and Digital Project are two programs that may appear similar at first glance, but in fact are quite different and are typically utilized for differing reasons.
Grasshopper is more of a generative tool. Its flexibility allows the designer to view all possibilities, regardless of their physical plausibility. It is not concerned with structural integrity. The use of grasshopper to sift through multiple combinations and versions of a design is useful during the schematic phase of a project. Grasshopper is limited in the accuracy that it can provide at the detail level, especially with curves and fillets.
Digital Project is less of a generative tool and more of an analytic tool. Unlike Grasshopper, it does take the structural integrity of a design into consideration when using its interface, and will not perform calculations that are not physically possible. One of its strengths is that it can detail a part extremely well, especially fillets. Digital Project would be used best when the key parts or set of parts has been determined already and are being used in a design that does not require them to change drastically.
