Thanks for picking this up Bob McNeel!. Good to know the Beeb has transatlantic reach.

Sir Antony is a very interesting man. I’m not entirely sure I should do this but if any visitor on this Forum would like to know a little more than just this good BBC Sounds episode there is also this recent podcast. On Art, Religion and Culture

I have no connection etc just this side of the Pond and have seen some of his work which is definitely worth seeking out.

Leonardo: “Hi, I’m a newbie to the forum. My Rhino 8 has lost all its icons and the command line. I can’t use it. How do I fix it? Don’t ask me to run systeminfo - I can’t.”

Hey Leonardo, long time no speak…

Run the Reset command and restart rhino…

His use of a square aspect ratio monitor, might be a stroke of genius though :smiley:

Anthony Gormley is a very creative artist, and very successful too, Leonardo would be right at home using Rhino3d

And probably much faster with keyboard shortcuts using his 6 fingers :wink:

To be fair to the ‘artist’, Leonardo appears to have ten digits as normal - just split 60:40 between hands.

yes modern Leonardo can work better with 4 digits on right hand, and 6 digits on left hand :blush:

If Leonardo was able to model this without Rhino, then we all have no excuses… :smiley:

(maybe he secretly used Rhino version -1, we dont know for sure)
