Meshes

From NURBS surfaces, from closed polyline, mesh face, plane, box, cylinder, cone, and sphere.

Curves from other objects

Through points, through polyline, extend, continue curve, fillet, chamfer, offset, blend, arc blend, from two views, tween, cross-section profiles, intersection, contour on NURBS surface or mesh, the section on NURBS surface or mesh, border, silhouette, extract isoparm, extract curvature graph, projection, pullback, sketch, wireframe.

General Tools

Delete, delete duplicates, join, merge, trim, untrim, split, explode, extend, fillet, chamfer, object properties, history.

Named Selections

For anyone who has a need to repeatedly select objects and sub-objects, Named Selections is a productivity enhancement that makes recalling selections simple.

Transform Tools

Curve Surface Intersections

Improves results for trims, splits, and Booleans. In our testing, this can be 4x faster in some cases.

Meshes

From NURBS surfaces, from closed polyline, mesh face, plane, box, cylinder, cone, and sphere.

Boolean Operations

Have been improved to the union, subtract or intersect coplanar surfaces.

User Interface

Coordinate read-out, floating/dockable command area, pop-up recently-used commands, clickable command options, auto-complete command line, customizable pop-up commands, pop-up layer manager, synchronize views, camera-based view manipulation, perspective match image, configurable middle mouse button, customizable icons and user workspace, customizable pop-up toolbar, transparent toolbars, context-sensitive right-click menu, multiple monitor support, Alt key copy and OpenGL hardware support with antialiasing.

Construction aids

Unlimited undo and redo, undo and redo multiple, exact numeric input, units including feet and inches and fractions, .x, .y, .z point filters, object snaps with identifying tag, grid snaps, ortho, planar, named construction planes, next and previous construction planes, orient construction plane on curve, layers, layer filtering, groups, background bitmaps, object hide/show, show selected objects, select by layer, select front most, color, object type, last object, and previous selection set, swap hidden objects, object lock/unlock, unlock selected objects, control and edit points on/off, and points off for selected objects.

Denoisers

Produce beautiful renderings in a fraction of the time using Denoisers in Rhino. These Post Effect filters use Artificial Intelligence techniques to remove the grainy “noise” from your draft renderings, dramatically reducing the time to reach a high-quality image.

Physically Based Rendering (PBR) Materials

PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials are the best choice for renderings and presentations for rendering professionals who want realistic-looking materials.

Single-Line Fonts

Single-Line Fonts help improve the speed and quality of your CNC engravings.

7 Mold Making tools

For mold makers and tool designers, Rhino’s mold making tools assist in the model-test-revise workflow.

PointDeviation

Added Maximum distance and minimum distance statistics.

Clash Detection
