Overview
McNeel's Rhinoceros 3D is the go-to software for Industrial Designers, Architects and CAD experts with its powerful NURBS-based engine, giving you the capability of creating and editing complex shapes quickly and precisely. Rhino for Windows & Mac supports a range of geometries including polygons, curves, surfaces as well as point clouds - leaving no design challenge beyond reach. With this industrial design modeling software not only can complicated shapes be modeled directly but also acquired through 3D digitizers easily – all without any limits on complexity or size! |

Rhino 8 brings new modeling tools like ShrinkWrap, a huge speed boost for Mac users, SubD Creases, PushPull workflows, better drafting tools, a more customizable User Interface, a faster Render engine, new Grasshopper data types, and much more!
Create a watertight mesh around any geometry - open or closed meshes, NURBS geometry, SubD, and point clouds. Ideal for 3D printing.
ShrinkWrap is ideal for creating:

Rhino 8 unlocks new modeling workflows — like PushPull — and adds intuitive new features to the Gumball, Automatic CPlanes, and more…
These new features make modeling more playful and accessible. Combining these tools reduces friction for common solid creation/editing tasks. This allows you to stay in single Perspective view while modeling.

Modeling Simplified
Rhino's model creation tools make it flexible, accurate, open, and very popular. |
Auto CPlanes Smarter CPlanes automatically align to eligible selections. |
Gumball The move, scale, rotate widget gets new grips for extending and extruding. |
PushPull Grab a face and push or pull it, extruding or extending. |
Inset New Options and support for Surfaces and Polysurface Faces. |
SubD Creases create a feature between a smooth and a sharp edge, without adding complexity to the SubD control net, great for making fillet-like features.
Accurate, organic modeling just got easier. Push and pull to explore complex, free-form shapes in realtime.
SubD objects are highly accurate and can be converted directly to manufacturable solids.
You can also convert scan or mesh data into SubD objects, then optionally to NURBS.
Rhino for Mac is faster than ever, running natively on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, and using the Apple Metal display technology. The User-Interface on Mac is also now closer to its Windows sibling!
To use Metal, Rhino requires an Intel or Apple Silicon Mac that can run macOS Monterey 12.4 or later.
Built for Mac: Metal Blazingly fast 3D drawing, a massive speed boost for Mac users. |
Universal App Rhino for Mac runs natively on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. |
Window Layouts Customize, save, share, and restore your favorite interface layouts. |
Layer Manager A complete rewrite, on Windows and Mac, including all new features. |
Rendering: Fast Feedback We've updated the Cycles engine for faster, GPU-accelerated raytracing. |
Rhino 8 introduces a number of clipping and sectioning enhancements to help support various drafting and fabrication workflows.
Section Styles Use Section Styles to create section details of your model. |
Selective Clipping Selective clipping and viewing depth. |
Dynamic Vector Drawings Create dynamic vector drawings of clipping sections. |
Clipped Views Use Clipping Planes Views in 2D Layouts. |
Sectioning for Fabrication Extract section curves and slices for fabrication. |
Rhino 8 has updated the Cycles Render engine, smoothed out the UV Workflow, improved our procedural textures, added a display mode, and more…
Rendering: Fast Feedback We've updated the Cycles engine for faster, GPU-accelerated raytracing. |
UV Mapping UV Mapping has been improved with a floating UV Editor, new unwrapping. |
Procedural Textures Native, per-pixel procedural textures in raytraced and rendered modes. |
Monochrome A clean, minimal Display Mode, perfect for showcasing architectural work. |
Improved Rendering UI More compact, efficient, and interactive management and editing. |

Reflected Ceiling Plans A reflected parallel projection viewport mode, perfect for RCPs. |
Blocks The Block Manager is now more flexible and powerful. |
Mesh Booleans Completely rewritten and more reliable Mesh Booleans. |
Offset Offset can now create multiple closed regions. |
Rhino 8 brings a new code editor, support for CPython and .NET 7, major improvements to our free SDKs, with API refinements, and some major new features that broaden and deepen the foundations of the geometry development platform
Scripting Entirely new editor for Python 3 and C#, in Rhino and Grasshopper. |
Code-Driven File IO Read/write any format that Rhino supports entirely through code. |
rhino3dm Rendering Assets Read and write rendering assets from openNURBS or rhino3dm. |
.NET 7 Target Microsoft .NET 7 on both Windows and Rhino for Mac. |
RhinoCommon New APIs for Shrinkwrap, Flair, Code-Driven File IO, and more... |
Rhino 8 adds a number of new command options.
Rhino can create, edit, analyze, document, render, animate, and translate NURBS curves, surfaces and solids, subdivision geometry (SubD), point clouds, and polygon meshes. There are no limits on complexity, degree, or size beyond those of your hardware.
Special features include:
NOTE: Rhino for Mac does not contain all commands found in Rhino for Windows
Model Creation Tools
Editing
Interface
Display
Rendering and Presentation
High-quality presentations are critical to most design projects.
Drafting
Every type of physical product design relies on technical illustration and 2D drawing to concisely communicate ideas, specifications, and instructions to people in design, development, and fabrication. Our goal for Rhino was to make it easier to create 2D drawings and illustrations for every discipline in every notation system and visual style used worldwide.
Digital Fabrication
As you may know, the Rhino development project started more than 25 years ago to provide marine designers with tools for building computer models that could be used to drive the digitally controlled fabrication equipment used in shipyards.
In Rhino 8, try out:
Mesh Tools
Robust mesh import, export, creation, and editing tools are critical to all phases of design, including:
3D Capture
Capturing existing 3D data is often one of the first steps in a design project. Rhino has always directly supported both 3D digitizing hardware and 3D scanned point cloud data. Rhino now supports:
3D digitizing support: Microscribe®, FaroArm®, and ROMER - Windows only.
Inspection and Analysis
Design realization requires high‑quality 3D models in every phase of design, presentation, analysis, and fabrication. Rhino includes tools to help ensure that the 3D models used throughout your process are of the highest possible quality.
Large Projects
File management tools for managing large projects and teams include: Notes, templates, merge files, export selected objects, save small, incremental save, bitmap file preview, Rhino file preview, export with origin point, worksessions (Windows only), blocks, file compression for meshes and preview images.
Compatibility
Rhino is compatible with hundreds of CAD, CAM, CAE, rendering, and animation products. The openNURBS libraries allow hundreds of other applications to read and write Rhino’s native 3DM files.
In addition, Rhino 8 now supports:
Grasshopper
Grasshopper is a graphical algorithm editor included with Rhino.
Unlike RhinoScript, Rhino.Python, or other programming languages, Grasshopper requires no knowledge of programming or scripting but still allows developers and designers to develop form-generation algorithms without writing code.
New in Grasshopper 1 in Rhino 8:
Developer Tools
The world’s most robust 3D development platform for specialty modeling, rendering, analysis, and fabrication tools across a wide variety of disciplines.
