Hi guys, I just have to give you some love regarding working with linked files.
It works very well. Stable as a rock.It can be a bit cumbersome to set up properly, but once it is it works great.
So your everlasting focus on robustness and stability really shows and pays off, so THANK YOU for that.
I so much prefer user demanding stable software over software that is easy to use but crashes.Cheers

Hmm, in my shaded mode I have edge color reduction on (50%). When I do a ViewCaptureToFile, I get the edges going transparent… Also if I have a ClippingPlane with edges on, those go transparent too.

I recently attempted to use the fillet edges command in the solid tools menu on a rib generated with a 1 degree positive taper and the result is a fillet with artifacts. Not sure what’s going on here; however, it would appear that there’s an issue with the software executing this command on tapered ribs.

Hi everyone,
I am new here and I need some urgend help!
Yesterday I installed the upgrade to Rhino 6. However, the grid view mode doesnt’t work. When creating objects they cannot be seen - only in the shaded views.In Rhino 5 everything is working well!
I am not very adapt in this but could my graphic card be the problem!
I assumed that my notebook should be fine, but now I read the system requirements where it says that an “OpenGL 4.1” Card is needed…?
Here are two screenshots from my notebook system details and from the graphic card:
I would be so grateful for any help!!

In the attached, call ReplaceEdge and choose the Mode=ExtendSideEdges option. Then select the 3 edges that look like a “door” on the cylinder part. Boom. No crash dump or report dialog. 100% repeatable in both V6 and the current WIP.
In another file, this just caused me to loose a half-hour’s work… my fault of course, just got too involved to punch the “save” button. 🤦
I know that was the wrong option, but I was just trying something.

In the attached, sub-object select the lowest (planar) surface of the object on the “NOK” layer (pink) and move it downward using the Gumball… The result, is, well, unexpected.
Methinks that this sort of simple object should just work…
Obviously it’s the little cutout in the cylinder that causes it to fail, try the same thing with the object on the blue “OK” layer. V6 and WIP - same thing.

hello, I have been using Rhino 6 for about a month, it is a great program. I am not new to CAD but just now learning this program. I can’t seem to get any snaps to work, endpoint, mid, center, nothing snaps. I have OSNAP turned on and nothing snaps. Please advise. As I mentioned I am new so deep jargon means nothing to me. thanks in advance. dennis

Hi there. I’m using Rhino 5, on Windows. Never had a problem until tonight, but everytime I tried using Linear Array it said Uknown command. I’ve also googled to see if someone had a similar situation but it seems like it works differently for every command. Not sure how to fix this.

Recently I’m having issues with view capture to file command. When taking with viewport resolution is all good, but when changing the scale and n of pixels the image somehow gets cut. Also, I happen to have same issues with taking with clipping plane (only one enabled and only one existing in the model) . Looks as if the clipping plane is cutting but the model is still protruding out

Guys, my workflow sucks.
I need help.
Someone asked me to modify a Google sketchup file of a bridge into a printable charm.
How would you go about doing this effectively? I wasted hours and I know it.
And still don’t like what I have!it’s like, I know all the tools but I don’t use them in an effective order.
I meshed to nurbs
I duped edges
then futzing around for hours I realized I should have just interpolated crvs over what I did
when to use unroll, when to use smashit doesn’t have to be as exact as the stl but everything needs a min printing dimension of .8 and honestly it looks all clunky and whatnot with what I did do…
I dunno, I need advice on an effective workflow where I’m not second guessing myself all the time.
and possibly advice on how you’d do the bridgethanks

Hello, I am an every-day Rhino user since Rhino 4 came out in my student years. We use Rhino 6 as a design software exclusively in my Architectural office nowadays. So what I am focusing on is architectural models. I have noticed a weird effect on Rhino 6 Arctic mode ever since it came out, and I see it randomly appear in more than one PC. It appears only when I am working on Parallel projection, On perspective it is fine. I just thought I should post it here and see if anyone else spotted it. Please see attached Screenshots for reference.
This is what a facade I am working on currently looks like, pretty normal. Now let me zoom in on a window for instance.
Hmm. Now let me zoom in some more. out of curiosity.
Weird, right? anyone else seing this? It is not always there, and appears to 2-3 different computers with different configurations (one is a surface laptop 3 with i7 and has on-board iris graphics, and another has dedicated graphics, NVidia GTX, I would be glad to detail specs if deemed relevant, I just want to keep tis short for the moment).It is not a tragic problem for this particular model, but I would be relieved somewhat if I knew what is causing it. Ideas? Thanks!

I’ve been using Boolean operations forever. Suddenly, when I use BooleanDifference the resulting objects are unioned in to one. I haven’t had this happen before. I assume there is a switch somewhere, but the only options I get are “delete input.”

Steps to recreate:
Create 2 objects, each on a different layer.
When I select 1 object it shows me in the bottom which layer this object is on in the bottom, this is correct:
Now when I select the second object without first deselecting the first object it shows me a wrong layer:

When printing multiple layouts/pages with different page sizes (e. g. A4 and A3) to a PDF, rhino uses one fixed page size, creating either cropped layouts or oversized layouts with a white border.
Is there any workaround or script to solve this?When having a series of layouts it currently requires a lot of pdf „postediting“.
Any help is very much appreciated.

Hey guys, I’m having some issues inserting .dxf files from Fusion 360. I’ve exported a 1:1 scale drawing of a sheetmetal part, from Fusion 360, which includes a “bend table” to identify the bends and their bend angles… The first drawing inserts into Rhino fine, but each drawing I import thereafter shows the same bend table as the first. They come in as blocks, so I guess its a referencing issue. Any ideas? I’ve tried various settings that Rhino prompts me with, but no solutions yet.
Thanks in advance,
Brian
