Introduction

Rhino can create, edit, analyze, record, render, animate and convert NURBS curves, surfaces, solids, subdivision geometry (SubD), point clouds and Polygon mesh. As long as hardware conditions permit, it is not limited by complexity, order, or size.

The main features include:

Unconstrained free form 3D modeling tool. In the past, you could only find these tools in the same type of software priced 20 to 50 times. Rhino can create any shape you can imagine.

Accuracy, fully meeting the needs of various types such as design, rapid prototyping, engineering, analysis, and manufacturing, can be achieved with precision ranging from airplanes to jewelry, Rhino.

Good compatibility, compatible with other design, drafting, CAM, engineering, analysis, rendering, animation, and illustration software.

Read and repair grids and difficult IGES files.

 1. Easy to learn and use, very easy to learn and use, allowing you to focus on design and imagination without having to be distracted by software operations.

2. High efficiency, without the need for special hardware devices, it can be executed even on ordinary laptops.

3. Development platform with hundreds of professional 3D modeling software.

4. Affordable, it is a conventional hardware that is fast to learn, affordable, and does not require maintenance costs.

5. Rhino for Mac: The world's most powerful 3D modeling software that can be used on macOS.

Modeling tools

drop: Point objects, point clouds, extracting points from objects, markers (intersection points, bisection points, draft angles, endpoints, closest points, focal points).

curve : Lines, multilines, multilines on grids, free curves, circles, arcs, ellipses, rectangles, polygons, spring lines, spirals, conies, TrueType text, interpolation points, control points (vertices), freehand curves.

Create a curve from an object : Through points, through multiple straight lines, extending curves, continuation curves, fillets, bevels, offsets, blends, arc blends, bi-directional projections, evenly divided curves, cross-sectional lines, intersecting lines, Nurbs surface and mesh equidistant cross-sectional lines/single cross-sectional lines, bounding curves, contour curves, extracted structural lines, extracted curvature shapes, straight projections, normal projections, pulled back curves, freehand drawn curves on surfaces/meshes, wireframes Separate shear curves, 2D images with dimensions and text annotations, and flatten unfoldable surfaces.

curved surface : From 3 or 4 points, from 3 or 4 lines, from Plane curve, from grid lines, rectangular planes, deformable planes, extrudes, ribbons, lofting, tangent connection lofting, unfolded surfaces, monorail sweeps that maintain edge connectivity, dual rail sweeps that maintain edge continuity, rotates, rotates along the path, evenly divides surfaces, blends, inlays, curtains, dot grids, image grayscale height, fillets, bevels, offsets, and establishes a flat plane through points TrueType and Unicode (double byte) text.

entity : Cube, sphere, cylinder, cylindrical tube, circular tube, cone, flat topped cone, pyramid, flat topped pyramid, ellipse, ring, extrude Plane curve, extrude surface, cap plane hole, composite surface, merge non popular edges, TrueType text, Unicode text

grid : From NURBS objects, from closed multilines, mesh faces, planes, cubes, cylinders, cones, and spheres.

Rhino 7 has made some improvements to existing tools and new instructions:

① SubD : For designers who need to quickly explore free form shapes, SubD is a new geometric type that can create editable, high-precision shapes. Unlike other geometric types, SubD can maintain free form accuracy while also allowing for quick editing.

② BlendSrf : Adding a fine check box can avoid creating overly simple blended surfaces.

③ Revolve  : When the construction history is enabled, the endpoint of the rotation axis can be captured onto the object using object lock points.

④ MatchSrf : Allow editing of control points that connect surfaces while constructing a history lock.

⑤ DupBorder : Added support for construction history.

⑥ FilletSrf : Now there is a G2 option

Edit

Tools: Delete, delete duplicate objects, combine, merge, trim, cancel construction, split, explode, extend, fillet, bevel, object properties, construction history。

Change tools: Cut, copy, paste, move, rotate, mirror, scale, extend, align, array, twist, bend, taper, tilt, offset, position, flow along curves, pull back, project, block edit, flatten, unfold.

Points and curves: Control points, edit points, joystick, smoothing, leveling, modifying degree, adding/removing nodes, adding sharp points, reconstruction, re approximation, joining, simplifying, modifying weights, periodicity, adjusting endpoint breaks, adjusting seams, positioning curves to edges, converting to arcs, multiple lines, or line segments

curved surface: Control points, joysticks, degree modification, adding/removing nodes, joining, extending, merging, combining, canceling cuts, dividing surfaces with structural lines, reconstructing, retracting, periodizing, Boolean (union, difference, intersection), unfolding a single surface, along a curve array on a surface
