Architecture Studios Using Rhino as Their Primary Tool

this is mostly a rant.. so take it with a grain of salt as to how useful that is :slight_smile:

i was in a team working on interior reconstruction projects up to 3000 m². for ideation, planning and documentation i used WIP 6 because it had a very useable rendered view that helped quickly pump out situations. and while i dont think that you need much BIM for interior projects, Rhino only could definitely work.. though if you need it anyway you could use Visual Arq for Rhino for Windows (no Mac version unfortunately)

but Rhino has become quite a burden with its quirks and some stuff that was never good, got worse. for instance since V6 Rhino handles fonts completely different and a major bug that never got fixed was introduced.

for one of the projects i had to design decorative guiding system inside Philip Morris in Vienna, and their own proprietary font did not work in Rhino at least not all the styles, some styles are just ignored, so i had to do all the font related stuff else where and import the curves back into Rhino to complete communication material, which was really painful. the worst is that it was never fixed. many popular industry standard fonts do not work properly, there are several topics on this issue but it has been ignored and ghosted, which is just jaw droppingly strange to me.

so if you want to rely on full blown documentation and you have specific fonts you need that do not work you might have to add some other packages. other than that Rhino alone can work if you really want to.
