It would be nice if the Rhino forum had Categories / tabs that are profession-specific where Rhino users that work in a particular profession can post their ideas. For example, architects, interior designers, jewelers, set designers, sculptors etc. I myself am a set designer and if I knew there was such a category I would always be looking at it to see what my colleagues are dealing with/ suggesting and sharing.
I think this would also help prospective users that are trying to decide whether to buy the product see how Rhino it is being used in their particular profession.
I think there is a lot of value in cross-disciplinary sharing/troubleshooting in relation to this great & versatile tool called Rhino, so I wouldnât want to create industry specific âsilosâ, but yes perhaps some topics might be better suited to industry specific sub forums and these sub forums might help knit communities together in different professions/industries.
Speaking for myself, Iâd be happy to contribute to and potentially help coordinate a Rhino in Landscape Architecture sub forum.
Maybe a subtle way of doing this would be to be able to tag your post for a specific industry and then people in that industry could filter for posts that are tagged that way.
It wouldnât be an alternative category (like Grasshopper, or Serengeti) but a tag. Once a week or once a month you could go in and filter for whatâs posted that relates to your industry. This might be particularly helpful now that so many people are posting on the forum that itâs easy to miss a post if youâre not constantly looking.
Yes what you describe works already for landscape with the âlandscape designâ category and landscape tag being available. I havenât checked other industry specific categories & tags
@Cosmas Iâm definitely down with Tagging #SetDesign
Hereâs a question: What if the post doesnât specifically have to do with set design? I suppose we could always just use the tag anyway so we can keep up to date with each othersâ issues and tips.
Addâl/Alternate Idea: #ProfileTags we can give ourselves that automatically create a filter for all posts by (eg.) #SetDesigners, or creates a filtered list of people with that tag.
A profile could be multi-tagged if, say, Iâm a #SetDesigner whoâs also into #Woodworking.
And searches could be filtered by booleans: #ProfileTag AND #ContentTag so if Cosmas wants to keep up with my posts about sharing iRhino files with an AD in the field, he can see those posts, but he doesnât also have to see my endless thread about a 99.9% efficient cut list for the floating shelves in my kids rm.
