rhinoreverse 3 - for Rhino 5

Technical Features

• Several import interfaces for mesh data (*.stl, *.wrl, *.vrml, *.af, *.nas, *.txt)
• Simple sketching of boundary curves on the given mesh data by using the mouse
• Flexible definition of the faces by 2 to 25 boundary curves (former: 4 curves define one face)
• Optional mode, to skin the point mesh quick-and-dirty with a low number of faces
• Flexible use of arbitrary t-joins for local refinements
• Use of only one file (*.3dm) for saving all data
• Automatic calculation of topology by using graph algorithms
• Automatic approximation of start faces
• Robustness against small holes and sharp edges in the mesh
• Automatic recalculation of face transitions to Rhino´s tolerance settings
• Robustness against gaps in the point mesh
• Additional "healing"-function, to improve quality of already existing face models: Automatic elimination of small gaps, steps and overlaps
• Additional "relief"-function to cover large country surfaces
• Additional "patch"-function to fill holes and create surface blends

Additional special features

• Powerful "healing" algorithm - RRHeal
• Already existing NURBS-face models can be healed: Small gaps, steps and overlaps will be filled automatically. The goal is to improve data quality in order to enable solid-modeling and NC-milling.
• Relief surfaces - RRRelief
• In geography and architecture large relief surfaces are given in STL format. But for engineering tasks often NURBS face data are needed. To transform them, the method RRRelief was designed. This function works similar to Rhinos "drape" command.
• Advantages: The resulting NURBS face shows a homogenous distribution of control points. Also steep surface areas are processed well. The handling of large meshes is simple and fast.
• Patch command - RRPatch
• In order to create complex patches the function RRPatch was designed. The function works similar to Rhinos "patch" command.
• Advantages: The procedure allows to additional include design curves in order to define the inner shape of the patch. A robust interpolation scheme - which is tolerance based - enables to generate a face within Rhinos internal absolute tolerance. This ensures joinable faces and makes RRPatch easy to use: The user does not have to set lots of parameters.
