Rhino 9 Feature: Non-Rectangular Details

The Rhino 9 WIP now supports details with boundaries that can be made from any closed curve. This can be done with either the new SetDetailBorder command or by using the FromCurve option in the Detail command.

You can now have layouts with circular “zoomed in” details as shown above.

Not just circles

Any closed curve can be used to define a detail’s boundary

DWG file support

Non-rectangular details can be imported from existing dwg files. Exporting non-rectangular details to dwg is also supported.


Please try it out and let us know what needs to be done to improve this feature.

A post was split to a new topic: Pasted Layout and Text Scale

Thanks for this! Will this one be back ported to R8 or will it be an R9 feature only?

No, sorry.

This is something I’ve wanted for a long time. Thanks guys.

Now the only thing which keeps me from using Rhino 9 WIP is @danielpiker Isopod not loading all components…
