When you need to generate a quick, freeform surface that approximates existing geometry, the Drape tool becomes a highly efficient option in Rhino. By draping a surface over objects in your scene, you can capture overall shapes and contours without investing time in complex surface modeling methods. Below are practical guidelines to help you make full use of the Drape tool’s capabilities.
Key considerations for maximizing the Drape tool’s potential:
In many project scenarios, a precise representation of every subtle curve isn’t always necessary—sometimes speed and general form exploration are the order of the day. The Drape tool supports this by letting you capture an overall shape quickly, freeing you to focus on broader design decisions before committing to detailed surface techniques. By customizing the drape grid spacing, carefully choosing only the geometry you need to capture, and refining with Rhino’s other modeling tools, you’ll maintain a balanced approach: good quality surfaces without overburdening your project workflow. Whenever you’re ready to expand your Rhino capabilities, NOVEDGE will have the products and insights to keep you evolving.
You can find all the Rhino products on the NOVEDGE web site at this page.
