I have met many kind hearted people here, but you are definitely not one of them!
Sadly. BTW, why would you want an imprecise modeling software?
Itâs ok, I need Rhino mainly for concept design. You see, a lot of the clients do not care about super precision at the concept stage. They want ideas, and I want to sell dreams to them. They wouldnât know you have slept 3 hours only to get the model superbly perfect. They want to see result, beautiful imageries, and I think rhino can do that. I just need to find ways to work around rhino.
Then Rhino might not be the right tool for the job. Precision where I live is king.
Also, you just need to spend time with it and learn its behavior, quirks and bugs and find workaround them.
SketchUp is probably better suited to your needs.
It is intended for concept design and building these âbeautiful imageriesâ you described.
Rhino is intended for accurate, manufacturable, industrial design.
After you have sold your concept to your client, then hand off the job to your Rhino/SolidWorks/AutoCAD modelers and build the models you need to build it.
Funny, on another post you acknowledged Zaha office uses rhino. Now itâs only for manufacturing?
Yea maybe youâre right. I almost bought rhino. You save me money lol. Thanks.
If i want precision I go to revit. Save me heaps of time.
Yeah, try to model something in Revit thatâs not square round or genericâŚ
At least revit can document and establish workflow. But rhino? Hmmm
Just so you know lots of big firms that design curves uses revit.
Kiwis are tastier than Mangoes.
Revit models of those âcurvesâ are trash in construction industry.
I donât want to dispute what you just said, but nobody uses rhino for construction these days. Of course, unless youâre constructing some little trinkets!
What you need is practice. You canât expect someone to pour years of experience (trial and errors) in to your cup up there.
Donât rely on tutorials, pick a project of your own (not a paid one with a dead line to chase). e.g. try to re-create the Sydney Opera building or the bridge(s) around it. The more complex project the better. Then after trying to use all basic commands (point, line, curve, surface, boolean, pointsON, etc.). And still fail to do something you want, come here explain what you want and consume the wisdom.
Hi @yeanlonglai,
If your coming from SketchUp, then perhaps this video will be of help?

There are other great getting started videos on ths page.

So very wrong.
Very doubtful
I doubt there are very many tools out there where modifications are done easier .
Too much parametrisation results into inability to freely create flexible designs
Conservatively 10âs of billions of dollars of work is done in Rhino.
I would naively say probably hundreds of billions, since a billion dollars for big architectural and infrastructure projects is lunch money these days.
No way you use only Rhino @AlW . More likely Rhino is used only for the exterior. (I assume only the structure no furniture)
Thanks Dale, I have already seen this 2 months ago when Iâm trying to learn rhino. The only drawback in rhino is when I do push and pull the surface doesnât snap to another surface that I wanted to go. I have to remember the distance or do the distance command, or change view to measure the height or widt or whatever. In sketch up itâs one second command, but in rhino itâs multitude of steps to get to one point.
Anyway thanks, glad to see some nice McNeel member here.
Yea but zaha imported that into revit to document. They donât rely on rhino to built it. Then they send the rhino model to manufacturer to build it.
And I need rhino to do concept. I am surprised some people think rhino donât do nice imageries. Really surprised.
