hi and sry for my bad english .i just want to find out is there any way in rhino to design with dimention? the rhino’s dimention is just some text and dont influence the design part . i mean when u add dimention to a line and rhino shows th 20 when u change it to 30 the line stil is at the same len…

If you begin drawing a line and type in the length, say 20mm and hit return the line length will change, press your left mouse button to apply. This is the same with most commands, offset, for example: Select the curve to offset, type in the value, if it looks too close of too far, type in another …

hi . tnx for your help but if i be exact i mean is there any way to change the first length of a line o height of a cube? after u design a line and give a length to it how u can chang it length acuurate?

Rhino isn’t dimension driven in the way you describe, so no, that’s not possible. There is a parametric plugin for Rhino by Driving Dimensions that adds a level of parametric (and dimension driven) capability, but don’t expect it magically turn Rhino into Solidworks or Inventor!

You also have Move Face for simple 3D shapes or Extend for curves. Another workaround is Extrude Face (boolean Union and the Merge Faces)

Hi Mehdi You can draw an object and then change with MoveFace etc. and then dimension update. Dim with option Object. Ciao Vittorio

Must admit that, after playing around with Inventor LT a bit, clicking on a dimension and typing in a new dimension is a very fast and fluid way to work.

Parametric data can be useful in conditions that are more mechanical or geometric. Not so much when I want to explore organic shapes and experiment, then it just gets in the way or worse, makes the design painfully ugly.
