This is the third week in a series on the fundamentals of Rhino, as taught at Otis College of Art & Design in the spring semester of 2010. To follow the tutorial from the beginning, start here. There is a parallel series covering the basics of SolidWorks here. Enjoy!
The goal for this week is to take what we learned about precision 2D drawing tools in week 02 and apply it to the construction of 3D surface models. We will also be looking at the difference between “solid” and “surface” modeling, along with the basic tenants of the latter.
The video above covers the following topics:
– Numerical entry for 3D shapes
– Intro to Solids-As-Surfaces
– Intro to back-faces, and back face colors
– C-Plane standard views
– Set C-Plan to object
– Boolean subtract as solid trim
More vids after the jump:
- Seems and Naked Edges
- ShowEdges command
- Intro surface trim / untrim
- Intro NURBS UV
- Intro ‘manifold surface’ building
- Using C-Planes practically
- Basic precision in 3D
- Intro WireCut tool
- 2D rotate vs. 3D rotate
- Intro to ArrayPolar
- Intro to Array
- Intro ‘Record History’ with ArrayPolar
- Demonstrate surface modeling
- Precision C-Plane placement
- Beginning a cell phone model
- Intro Blended Fillets

I mean 3:17 at into 13. I moved first model and then other four model changed. ^^
Thanks Adam~
Not sure what you mean, YoungRock.
Adam
Did you move the main mass in last scene of the intro 13 ?
flaco excelente tu trabajo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! jajajaa, I´m argentinian, and this tutorial is amazing, and I just wrote that your work is excelent. Any way, I look foward for more, keep it up, you are helping me a lot. Rhino is a great program, and I was lerning by my self untill I faund you, you are my hero, jajajaj.
I am looking allsow for blocks for architectural designe, if you know where to get some, you will help me even more.
Thanks man, sorry about my speling, I´m shore that half words are wrongly speled.
