Rhino 8 Release Date Question

Hi, in the Rhino 8 WIP there is a new “Auto CPlane” button the status bar. This ties your CPlane to your selection.

Here’s an example:

Auto CPlane Example

For planar surfaces this should quickly allow you to put down a curve. Then using split, joining the two pieces, and gumball extrude you can get pretty close to Sketchups push pull.

Here’s some more information on the Auto CPlane.

If that isn’t quite what you’re looking for there is a test command I wrote called TestPushPull. It won’t show up in the auto complete as you type it since it’s hidden. This test command emulates SketchUps push pull.

TestPushPull

Be aware, it is a test command so no guarantees!
