WISH: History panel with adjustable settings! PLEASE :)
@Holo wrote:
Hi guys, this has been a looooong standing wish for me.
And seems like such a low hanging fruit to propel Rhino’s history to the next level.When ever I use history I often wish to adjust the input settings. Like when I have offset of a curve, I would like to adjus the distance (Using it for form finding (or “design” if you like)) or the side. Or when I use polar array I would like to move the array, but the center is stuck to the initial position.
It would really make sense to start working on a panel for this so when we Select the child (one of the children) we could alter stuff there.
Please consider working on this it would make designing with history much better.

Looking for models for polysurface repair wizard
@spb wrote:
I’m working on a Python script that repairs polysurfaces and am looking for a few more test models before submitting the script to food4Rhino.
Polysurfaces that the script can repair include those that:
- Are solids in other CAD systems but don’t import as such into Rhino
- Were modeled in Rhino, and whose area and volume cannot be calculated (see examples below)
It can repair:
Check 01.3dm and Check 02.igs (partial repair) from Chapter 15 of Rhino 6 Level 2 Training:

Mesh Appearance Changed in Top View?
@frdicaprio01 wrote:
I’ve been working with a large topographic mesh for the past couple weeks on a large project. The appearance of the mesh suddenly changed in my top view, mid-work session. I have no idea why, quick online search unearthed nothing. Normally the mesh appears similar to how it does in the perspective viewport. Suddenly it changed to a sort of topographic view with distinct changes in elevation level. Still looks normal in my perspective viewport though.
I don’t even mind the appearance change that much, but I’d like to know what setting I accidentally changed or triggered. Anybody know why?
Here are some images to show what I’m talking about:

Mesh display settings?
@tylerwallace1 wrote:
How do I change the mesh display settings? I want to get rid of the thick lines on the mesh.
The setting under “Simple Bright 2 > Objects > Lines > edge line width” changes the thickness, but can I just remove those lines on the mesh?If I select another style, there’s another option for “mesh” under Objects, but for some reason I am only getting Points, Curves, and Lines in this style.
I tried adding edge softening on the object display properties. This helps, but it seems like i cannot get rid of all of the lines

Inserted file can not be directed to specific layer
@abrahamwechter wrote:
When I insert a file I often have some idea where I want put it into the layer structure as well where to place the contents in my modeling window. But unless I am missing something I always have to dig the inserted layers out and move them after inserting. Plus if the inserted file has something on a layer with an identical name as the target file Rhino assumes I want it put into that target layer, which is often absolutely not the case. I’d like to be able to specify the target layer that the inserted file goes into, preferably with the option to insert everything as one flattened layer or to preserve the layer structure on the inserted file as sublayers under my selected target layer.

Tangent surface help
@SamPage wrote:
Hi all,
It’s been a while, I hope everyone is well. I had a bit of modeling I was getting stuck on, and thought that perhaps someone would have a better idea than me. In the attached, the surfaces are pretty much my givens. I have a flat surface in the model which needs to stay that width. then I have several pipe looking surfaces (they are actually extrusions as revolves). What I am trying to do is get a surface strung between the pipes, the red curves I hope give an indication of what I’m after. I feel like I need some form of a tangent loft. Any ideas?
I achieved an OK placeholder (which I didn’t include in the model because because I was hoping you might have fresher eyes if you didn’t see my less than optimal result) in there by cutting a bunch of sections and then using Line Tangent, then lofting the result, duping its edge, and pulling that back to the starting pipe like surfaces.
Anyway, here is the model, thanks for taking a look! Again, I hope all are well, sorry I have been scarce around here (even when modeling in Rhino all day everyday), life just seems to always have other ideas as to where I should be spending my time.
Thanks again,

Wish - Improved Layer filter UI
@jeffoulet wrote:
Hi there,
What about improving the layer filter by adding a ‘search’ field directly on the layer panel:
The user can type whatever he wants in it and on each keystroke:
- the panel gets updated and only shows the layers that have a matching sub-string in their names
- matching string portion gets highlighted on the layer name
- the filter can quickly be disabled/reset by pressing ‘Esc’ or hitting some quit icon in that bar
I know that is already doable with the layer filter, but it would be handy to have that sort of feature directly embedded on the panel for quicker use.
What are your thoughts?

Get the rotation of the xform
@tish.ghaith wrote:
Hi all,
Do you know how the XForm in rhino works ?.
It is a 4X4 matrix
The Xform output is R1, R2, R3, R4
What are these rows basically ? and how to access them through scripting
I want to solve block instance rotations from an Xform. for a transformation that I dont know. Any idea ?.

Near snap on surface edge?
@martinsiegrist wrote:
I have an issue with Osnap where Rhino dominantly snaps to the Center of a surface but I’d prefer a Near snap somewhere along the surface edge.
I can choose in between Near snap and Center snap on closed curves but can’t get a Near snap on a surface edge.
Turning Center snap off is not a solution since I need it.

Setting minimum curve radius for machining
@richard.m.haigh wrote:
Hi,
I’ve got a detailed contour map which we’re going to machine as a solid and then cover with lasercut veneer. The issue we have is that the laser will cut a much more detailed line than the CNC router. is there a way of modifying a 2D curve so that it has a minimum radius of say, 1mm. Then we can cut the veneer to match the lack of detail on the machined part.
cheers
Rich.

DXF export to Cadence Allegro/OrCad - settings
@miroslav.miklovic wrote:
Hello Everyone!
Is there some person that can help me with setting the custom DXF Export scheme? My goal is to import DXF data from Rhino to OrCAD, the issue is that with any setting I’m not able to export the DXF from Rhino in such format that arc stay arcs…
I’ve tried the opposite way - I’ve exported DXF from OrCAD and imported it into Rhino. It worked OK (arcs and curves stayed simple curved lines) but when I try to export the same data from Rhino all curvatures are converted to small segments/lines.
I’ve tied many options in the scheme, but it was mostly try & error as in the Help is not much to read what does each control…
So to summarise - I have a DXF file, that when I open it in a text editor it has all curvatures as “AcDbPolyline” and I would like to import it to Rhino and then export it again from Rhino to DXF with such settings that it creates the same DXF file.
Any help? Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!
MiroEDIT - All this is just 2D geometry.
This is DXF of the format that I need to achieve 002.dxf (27.8 KB)

CPU too small
@sunna.gudnadottir wrote:
Hi,
I have been working very basic stuff with Rhino 5 and would like to go into more advanced work like importing mesh and render.
I have imported few mesh into my project and the computer slowed radically down (and I haven´t even started rendering).
When I do simple command the CPU go up to 100%. It is AMD RYZEN 7 1700 eight-core processor. What CPU would you recommend for working with small interior design projects. In the store they have 3700 and than 3900 is a bit expensive but I am not sure 3700 will be enough.
Thanks
