Just wanted to say I was waiting for software like this. I took Autocad classes years ago and was waiting for the 3d aspect and building tools and the familiarity of using Autocad. This combines so many things I am used to using. Well designed. Thank you for the work you placed in this.

I bought this program; Rhino 6. Itās awesome. But when it cannot even draw up a simple loftā¦ you begin to wonder. My guess is that while Rhino 5, the previous version, was fully developed/programed it wasnāt true when I bought Rhino 6. And Iām new to Rhino3D, but not other CAD software. At least they have been kind enough to give me a link for a file download in .3dm file format so I can just take a lofted surface and use File>Insert to get an already drawn up lofted surface in my future drawings LOL! Hey, it works right!? Oh, and remember to set the background to a dark color so those long days using Rhino3D wonāt get your eyes strained. I always use a black background and green colored objects in my scene/viewports.
@mercury1978kevin Every once in a while a new user of Rhino who has experience with other CAD software struggles with using Rhino and decides Rhino is not working correctly. This usually is the result of trying to apply knowledge of other CAD software to using Rhino without understanding how Rhino works and how it differs from the software they are experienced with.

I am still going through the tutorials myself. I am going to take it slow and absorb all the awesome knowledge I can, I am truly amazed by what this software can do. It can do 2d, 3d. I made a chair in a tutorial today, thoroughly am on board with these tutorials. Thanks for the extras!!

Assuming David, another Rhino user, is telling me the truth. It has been determined that Rhino 6 is only messed up on my PC and not anyone elseās. IDK if itās a hacker or evil access by a plug-in programmer, or Microsoft itselfā¦ or some other hacker like the NSA or if itās just because of a simple conflict Rhino is having with 1 or more of itās plug ins. IDK cuz I have/use about 10 or so plug ins. At any rate, apparently there is something wrong with Rhino and/or my PCās software side of things. BEWARE OF RHINO PLUG INS? Crossing my fingers that isnāt a general truth as I love some of these plug ins like furniture maker and random array. Also, itās now safe for me to assume that my recent boolean errors or issues have to do with my loft tool not working correctly on me (they must be related). I used to be a U.S. soldier so the gov/NSA spy on me a lot more than most people. Or is it the Chinese plug-in devs that are now not to be trusted with possible access to my PC!? I paid just as much for Rhino as any body elseā¦ even if it was stimulus money.
<itās not giving me any other options than āstrait sectionsā but does so for all other users of Rhino 6
ā¦ok, NOW it worksā¦ but not in another edited file of the original from extracted wireframe command use F.Y.I.>and just yesterday it had this error in the original unedited file; didnāt work yesterday; today it did (on the same original unedited file)
For anyone interested KevinEās problem with the Loft command was due to the ends of some of his curves being close to each other but not quite coinciding, which restricts the loft style to straight sections only. Pascal identified the problem. It is a documented āfeatureā of the loft command.

If all fails. Explode.
Just gotta ask? I was giving Kudos to the developers of this awesome software and My thread got hijacked by someone who wasnāt apparently happy. Not my problem. Not thereās either. Kinda feel like I was a lamb out for the slaughter. Please donāt hijack my thread again. I was all about an amazing job they did. And for what
ever reason someone had to hijack it and make it negative. I am not with that person. just so you all know

wellā¦ without complaining the developers do not know that they are torturing the poor users. that means except somebody has personal/commercial/competitive issues with McNeel i assume that ranting for the most part is pretty honest and necessary.
for example @gustojunk @osuire are one of the most relentless ranters i have ever seen 
i must say kudos to them for their efforts in doing so. i also enjoy critiquing and throwing in some fire and oil, but i am less diplomatic or maybe just dumber and i think that everybody probably hates me long ago 
yes, of course what would be all that without the developers producing our beloved Rhino, so please guys keep it up and dont let us down! you are doing a good job, just do more and faster

seems your reputation precedes youā¦ 
Coming from AutoCAD I used to curse a lot for Rhino not being fast enough for my typing.
Being pushed by my employer I started learning ArchiCAD and oh my!, never seen anything this laggy, buggy and making no sense. I hate when software is trying to outsmart designer forcing itās own interpretations.
Every time I open AD I miss Rhinoās logic, command bar (!!!) and itās robustness - what you see is what you get.
Give me a hope guys that I will get used to it or is it darker the deeper you go? 
are you actually talking about the mac versions of these? i can remember trying autocad on mac when it was released. i think making cad in word wouldĀ“ve made more sense at that timeā¦ it got progressively faster but still never optimal, but i left it several years behind, not sure how it evolved. archicad did not feel too bad imho not super fast but at least faster than autocad, still the logic of it made too many knots into my brain. felt like working upside down with hands around my legs.
i would never survive without rhino and i also keep hoping that it does not take too man left turns astraying from a good practical and fast workflow.
Yeah, itās mac version. Everything is slower on mac and it makes my brain burn why my bootcamp on MBP is waay faster than native OS?
