Have been using Ashlar Cobalt for years but they went to subscription so I got Rhino 7. My main issue seems to be that when I create a solid and then trim a part out of it, what I thought was solid is suddenly hollow. Second issue is that Cobalt was head and shoulders above Rhino on the snap to thing. I find that I can no longer just grab something I drew and snap it to something I drew before…I have to select it and command MOVE and then click a corner point and try to then click where I want it. But always where I want it says “PROJECTED END” and it will not snap there at all.
So I drew a simple part of something here, and then exported it as a stl and loaded it into Meshmixer to examine. Meshmixer finds all kinds of errors and when it tries to repair it it deletes parts of it. Wondering if I made a mistake with Rhino at this point… 1.stl (9.6 MB) Side.3dm (1.4 MB)
So in this program, when you subtract(trim or slice) something from a solid it becomes a tube with a cap at the other end? And you have to then cap the end you cut from to make it a solid again?
I have been playing with that and I see the difference. 1 more question for now, what is the best way to create a solid of irregular shape. Srfpt and then extrude or create a box and then the create the shapes you want to subtract and booleondifference?
