I’ve been playing with the idea of 3d sketching in rhino, and came across something interesting. All of this you can do in rhino right now. (no comments on the crap sketch, I’m working on something here..) . :wink: There are some other developments in the works that may make this a very cool featu…

Hi @wim / @theoutside / @stevebaer I’m not getting any taper effect in neither testfancycurves nor testobjectlinetype - or I’m doing something wrong. As you can see, I’m getting the halo effect and gradient works as well, but the taper eludes me :face_with_raised_eyebrow: Tried enabling PrintDispla…

Hi Jakob - [image] Jakob Normand: […] but the taper eludes me :face_with_raised_eyebrow: Yea, I know… Your question is a bit similar to the one in Curves thickness - #5 by wim [image] Jakob Normand: Tried enabling PrintDisplay, but still no taper effect. PrintDisplay isn’t part of t…

These test commands are going away. They are causing more confusion than they are worth. We are adding controls to linetypes in Rhino so you can give each linetype a different thickness (either a single thickness or a taper thickness). Display modes are also being updated to use these thicknesses fr…

Hi @stevebaer I just wanted to let you know - regardless of the controls going away/moving - that in the latest WIP I’m actually seeing the tapered effect (and it looks amazing!). -Jakob

it’s amazing from a purely aesthetic point of view how much tapers on curves brings the screen to life. I’m glad you like them, @stevebaer did an amazing job on this. The UI is still developing a bit, and we are very interested in how you will use them.

Here’s a description of UI that is currently available for defining tapers. There is more to come [image] Curves thickness Rhino Kind of… Linetypes in Rhino 8 have thicknesses associated with them. Display modes are now set to use the linetype thicknesses from objects by d…

I wonder if something like this would be possible in iRhino 3d with Apple Pencil? [image] Feather: 3D Sketchbook Feather is a 3D drawing app for quickly capturing your imagination in 3D. With its simple but polished interface, everyone can draw, rotate, and create. …

@l11 That would be amazing. Even a plugin allowing sync between these 2 apps would be great!

Markup feature similar to what we have in iRhino is under development for Rhino 9. [image] Rhino 9 Feature: Markup Mode Serengeti (Rhino WIP) I made some major changes to the markup feature based on the feedback I received on my last post . I decided to start a…

Rhino has had all these tools for 3d sketching for quite some time. you can do all of this now with Rhino all the way back to v3… v8 adds auto cplanes and tapered linetypes, both useful for this type of sketching, but it’s more of a collection of tools at the moment, not a specific workflow. we’d…
