You will never cease to impress me.
That’s wonderful work you did there, very clean, clear, respects all UI principles.
Amazing work, just amazing work all around.

Hello!
My IRhino3D updated a few days ago but I cannot longer select which version to save a scan. I tried to open a file in my computer and I can’t open it as it saved in Rhino 8 (I have Rhino 7). Is the app no longer going to give the option to save in Rhino 7?
I did release a couple hotfixes to the Appstore after the initial release. Current Appstore version is 8.13.24269
There’s no way to add dimensions in the Appstore release. But in the Testflight release you can run the DimAligned command and add dimensions.
Unless you mean you customer wants to note hand measured dimensions in the model. If so I they can use markups to draw lines and add text overlay to a view.
well, bottom line my number one wish is to be able to have customers use your app to quickly scan objects about the size of say 4"x4"–9"x9" and most importantly get a length and width of said object, say in like a 5 min period or so. Like a bounding box algorithm or something say.
It’s a sizing thing for my company, we have a huge wish to enable customers to size length and width quickly and semi-accurately for our products.
So, think like if you were scanning feet for sizing shoes, that’s a similar application – L x W.
We’ve had the darndest time for 20 yrs, getting correct sizing per say. Most customers provide poor measurements, but if a scanning app could help, then that would be a dream come true.
You can already get the bounding box dimensions of an object in the Appstore version of iRhino. Select the object first, long press to see the context menu. Select “inspect” to see bounding box dimensions.
Keep in mind that scanning accuracy varies, please report back on what your experience is.
That’s awesome, but can the bounding box automatically orient square to the length and width of an object in order to get accurate measurement?
I’ve used software before that enabled the user to at least be able to rotate the object and see the bounding box extents while the user can visually and manually obtain the best fit, in that scenario.
An automatic solution would be cool, but maybe more far fetched.
Best I can do, in relatively short notice. Might not be the best object, or colors.
I might have to do a more obvious illustration, but if you look closely…
Notice the (‘bounding box’ feed-back - while orientation of object is rotated.)
The main idea here would be to give the user a quick accurate nominal idea of length and width of object that was scanned.
If the bounding box can intuitively be adjusted in a quick manner, then length and width of scanned object can be derived easily for sizing of product purposes.
Some products make use of nominal length and width data.
This would be extremely powerful if it could be done easily.
I imagine a Rhino script could do this, but the big question is could the phone app do this. If so then my co’s customers could achieve something very great indeed. As long as they know how to use a phone/app.
What you’re demonstrating looks manual, you’re changing the object orientation and seeing bounding box value update. Is that what you’re hoping to have in iRhino? I suppose you can do the same with gumball and use the “inspect” feature.
Or do you want to automatically find the tightest fitting bounding box? If there’s a straightforward way of doing this in Rhino I can potentially wire it up in iRhino. Otherwise I think it’s out of the scope of iRhino.
Indeed yes, in terms of adjusting any arbitrary orientation caused from the scanning process; let’s say if you scan a particular object and it’s of upmost concern to obtain ‘length’ and ‘width’ of said object, then a (quick manual orientation adjustment, can enable a fast and accurate length and width estimate).
Sounds possible. I haven’t spent much time using iRhino in recent months. Does iRhino already have that ability?
That sounds like one of my dreams, so yes. Ultimately, I’d like a very inexperienced user of iRhino to be able to obtain ‘length’ and ‘width’ of object of interest. It would help my company tremendously! We would be able to size cutomers products, and would be like a rocket ship for our processes relative to this.
hmm, yeah idk, I believe it’s possible someday.
for now, a manual method would still be perfect. if there’s a way to orient object manually and see bounding box length and width update while doing so, I believe the user can easily obtain length and width via bounding box features.
my company dreams of finding or creating an app that does this “automatically”, but I’ve seen apps like iRhino that already show signs of these capabilities being possible.
very interesting.
