This uninhibited free-form 3D modeling tool allows users to create designs quickly while maintaining accuracy and measurements.
This accurate 3D modeling tool allows for free-moving design, maintaining the accuracy of all elements and measurements. It can be used as an additional drawing tool when combined with other design, CAM, drafting, rendering, illustration and animation software. Rhino 7 preserves the accuracy and complexity of engineering software blueprints, which means that it can also be used for in-depth and accurate analysis.
The tool allows users to create organic shapes, with a high level of accuracy and editability enabled by Rhino 7’s SubD geometry types. Users may move several planes, edges, lines, and vectors at once with pin-point accuracy, and snap them back into position as required. Designs can be transformed using meshes, curves, BlendEdge and Boolean operations. Built-in compatibility means that plans from other software can be loaded into this tool without losing any integrity of designated form or scale.
