Rhino 3D Tip: Key Updates and Features in Rhino 7 for Enhanced Modeling and Rendering

Rhino 7 offers a plethora of updates and new features that significantly enhance your modeling experience. Here are some key updates you should leverage:

• SubD Modeling: Rhino 7 introduces SubD, a new geometry type that allows for creating editable, highly accurate, and smooth organic shapes. It’s particularly useful for designers working on complex, freeform models.
  • Use the SubDFromMesh command to convert existing mesh objects into SubD objects.
  • The SubDLoft command can be used to create SubD surfaces between two or more curves.
• QuadRemesh: This tool is perfect for creating a quad-dominant mesh from an existing surface, polysurface, or mesh.
  • Use QuadRemesh to easily retopologize your models, ensuring a cleaner and more efficient mesh structure.
  • Adjust the settings to control the density and layout of the mesh, making it suitable for different applications like animation or 3D printing.
• Rhino.Inside.Revit: This is a revolutionary update that allows Rhino and Grasshopper to run inside Autodesk Revit.
  • Streamline workflows by using Grasshopper to generate Revit elements directly.
  • Facilitate a seamless data exchange between Rhino and Revit, reducing the need for file conversions.
• Enhanced Rendering: Rhino 7 includes updates to the rendering engine to produce even more realistic images.
  • Utilize the new PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials for more accurate and visually appealing textures.
  • Improved lighting tools allow for better control over scene illumination.
• LayerBook: The LayerBook command is a new way to manage and present layered models.
  • Use LayerBook to create step-by-step presentations or tutorials directly within Rhino.
  • Organize your layers into a cohesive, navigable sequence to simplify complex models' visualization.

To make the most out of these updates, make sure you're running the latest version of Rhino 7. If you're considering an upgrade or a new license, check out NOVEDGE for competitive pricing and excellent customer support.
