Hi, I’m a long-time user since V4 and absolutely love Rhino. In my field of architecture, it is an amazing tool for designing and visualizing ideas. Yet very few people use it as a main Program for producing plans and drawings, the workflow is always relying on programs like archicad, vectorworks, …

my lifetime dream is to bring brand new software for aec which would be a blend of skp rhino revit autocad allplan archicad. all the best features from them all. if i find billion euros ob the streets i will bring it to life :smiley:

[image] ambrose_bill: What I would be ecstatic with personally is a Rhino PDF that outputs genuine vector output (I.e when one zooms in on a PDF the line weights scale with the zoom so details can be viewed.) I don’t understand this comment. All lines in PDFs that Rhino produces have a define…

@Gijs @osuire @MattE @Ncik @luca4 @Eugen From reading this & other threads, there seems to be much internal debate about whether improving & upgrading 2d design documentation tools should even be a developmental aim.

These are all very welcome features! However, my absolute favourite (because I literally need it many times each and every workday) is this problem with Model space layers ruining Layouts: [image] Layer visibility in Detail, Not Painful Anymore! Rhino Dear rhino developers…

Thanks @wim and @stevebaer for your replies. I’ve not downloaded the WIP although have been keeping an eye on the change logs to see if there are any significant features being worked on wrt this topic. I’m still running Rhino 6 with the layer manager plug-in, section tools, etc. as R7 only made mi…

Hi user1598 - [image] user1598: Instead of using Rhino in a “90s AutoCAD” way (described previously itt), with all 2d/3d geometry jumbled together in model space, I see that some users prefer to keep their 2D geometry in model space, but that is not the recommended workflow in Rhino. [im…

[image] wim: That is in Rhino 8. Thanks very much @wim , that would be fantastic :+1:
