RHINO
Surfaces + Lines
Terms = command language
Poly surfaces - solid, a continued closed surface which has no breaks or gaps
Poly line - continuous line verses lines which meet, yet are segmented
Curve - continuous line
Commands/Notes
Tip
When you Jump from dimension to dimension Rhino leaves traces of the first dimension bu copying the content to make the conversion. These traces are called profile. The profiles reside below the form.
Changing grid command>options
making 3d objects from curves
when drawing curves- holding shift will make the line 'ortho' meaning straight
to transform/edit curves select CONTROL POINT
Revolve - converts curves from 2d to 3d, rotating on an axis
Offset the surface > command:offset then to make it solid >command option solid > type thickness
Curves from solids > project
creating surfaces + solids from multiple curves
Draw curves > loft them > align the curves in the options
LOFT - turns multiple lines into a surface
OFFSET - (offset surface> solid) gives surface depth making it into a solid
When drawing curves if you hold control while drawing points the line will travel along the z axis
Extruding closed curves = solid
Ghosted view- right click perspective
-Line/ Curve drawing - space bar to finish drawing
- to cap these sorts of curves surface>patch then there will be a dialogue about the detail intensity.
PS
lighting effect - for interior views
