Hi Pascal, How’s the great northwest? I was looking for that display setting and it said there is none. Would it be hard to make one for the software? thank you,Mark
I don’t know about anyone else , but I use it for presentation purposes and visualizing . By the way, Arctic is a nice display to use and see things . Glad it was put in.

Hi,

One of our users has a slight shopping list of problems that they are experiencing and just seeking some advice on the following:

Issue 1: Rhino slow response when panning or spinning model ( model file size only 10 mb)

Issue 2: Sometimes after selecting object, “enter” does not work or freezes

Issue 3: After selection losing property dialog box

Issue 4: Sometimes cant delete after selecting an item

Issue 5: Generally slow, sometimes unresponsive “spinning wheel”

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

So I try to make the structure of my building out of voronoi like shapes that will resemble as if my building was a bubble and pop trhrough the voronoi structure. (Lİke this but not just on the surface) ed7b6a70d30fb1ad6475b6d65a2f8ca5 I tried some as you can see but none of them reaches trough every corner and if I try to increase the number of points the structure gets too complex. Do you have any suggestions?

How do you stitch two mesh edges together?

@ThomasLEE wrote:

Hi there,

I have a project where i have two mesh terrains that have come from two different sources and i’m now trying to ‘stitch’/combine/loft/blend these two edges together so that it looks like there is a seamless transition between the two. As an example please see the image below, essentially i want to blend the two edges into each other:

Would anyone know the best way of going about this?

  • The two terrains i’m actually using have hundreds of points so moving them manually is not ideal
  • I can’t use drape as i need to retain the detail of each terrain i currently have
  • I can’t dupedge and loft as the joint will be noticeable

Am i right in thinking the only way to do this would be to manually move the points even though it would take a long time?

Thanks very much for the help!

I need help! I so much want to like Rhino 6

@tobias wrote:

Hi everyone, I need help. I still havn’t bought Rhino 6. For everyone who knows me this is very strange. I am a real Rhino fanboy. I work full time with Rhino for 14 years. Rhino 4 and Rhino 5 I bought the same day when it was released.

With Rhino 6 things are different. Everytime I gave it a try I cancelled it because it was just not usable in my setup or my way of working. I really want to like it but I would need to change so many things (basically 90% of all my files and blocks, nearly 100% of my personal plugins) that I just don’t use it.

I would certainly go through the pain of making it work for me if there would be some killer features I just can’t live without. Problem is I never participated in the WIP process of Rhino 6 so I must have missed a lot new stuff. So now my question to all of you: What features makes it a must to go for the upgrade?

I know about Grasshopper integration, Cycles, the new display engine, SubD, Make2D… but I rarely use GH, if I need to render I use Vray (which doesn’t work in Rhino 6), I don’t work with meshes and I have spend 14 years teaching my clients that 2D and 2D DWG are concepts from the past and it’s time to move on.
Snapshot could be a nice feature, but it doesn’t work well with worksessions (hidden reference objects are not saved) and almost all my projects are worksessions.

But that can’t be all. Rhino 6 took 5 years to come out. So there must be more power features I just don’t know about. Can please someone point me to the good stuff?

Thanks, Tobias

Hi folks,
I’m having trouble with a blend surface around a three way corner. (I don’t do this sort of blend very often).
The three fillets are different in size and this is creating some edges that are creating problems. Can anyone advise on how to make this blend smoother? I’ve uploaded the file below. Fillet is in blue.

Blocks Not Printing when Block Layer Print Width Set to "No Print"

$

@Measure wrote:

I have encountered a bug with blocks sometimes not printing properly if the instance is on a layer with print width set to “No Print”. Rhino appears to be using the parent instance layer print width as the print width source for the block geometry even if the geometry print width source is “By Layer”.

I have been placing blocks on non-printing layers for months without problems. I just noticed this in new files today.

If the instance layer print width is changed to something other than “No Print”, then the block geometry prints just fine (using it’s own by-layer print width, color, etc.).

The problem sometimes goes away when an annotation object is added to the block, but only after the block is transformed in some way (move/scale/mirror/etc.). In some existing files, this fixes the bug, in some this doesn’t fix it, and in some the bug does not occur, but I can replicate both the bug and the fix in new files.

Steps to replicate bug:

  1. Create new Rhino file
  2. Create a layer with non-white print color and non-zero print width
  3. Create a second layer with print width set to “No Print”
  4. Create some curves on the printing layer (all attributes “By Layer”)
  5. Create a block from the geometry and place the instance on the non-printing layer
  6. Go to print preview and observe that the block is not visible
  7. Edit the block and add a text object on the printing layer
  8. Go to print preview and observe that the block is still not visible
  9. Move the block
  10. Go to print preview and observe that the block is now visible
  11. Edit the block and remove the text object
  12. Go to print preview and observe that the block is still visible
  13. Move the block
  14. Go to print preview and observe that the block is no longer visible

Any ideas what could be causing this?

If I have a cube, and I want to split only one face in a specific spot, so i can then extrude that partial face, is this possible? See attached (and for some reason Rhino decided it couldn’t let go of that text, so it’s forever selected and can’t delete :roll_eyes:)

The idea would be to do what Sketchup does when you draw a line across a face.
