Hi @litwinaa - what exactly are you looking for? Do you want to understand how the command works or good use cases for the command? Something else?
Hello Vanessa,
Both to understand how the command works and good uses for it.
Thank you,
Andy
@litwinaa - The command is very useful when you want to trim a solid but you want the result to still be a solid. Hereās the Help file video, Rhinoceros Help.
A link to a tutorial, Rhino Tooltip: Wirecut - YouTube
Attached a clip.
Hello Vanessa,

The best way to avoid filleting problems is using Rhino 7 and making all fillets at the same time (using FilletEdge command).

There are two kinds of Rhino users: those who push osnap control under the panel and those who do not. I do, and I use dark colors as well.
A tutorial video I saw a while ago stuck with me because I didnāt agree with the information contained within itā¦ so when I just now made something similar for myself, I thought it fitting to try to make own:
This is my first tutorial and Iām not super experienced with Rhino, so I bet someone will find something to disagree with in this one as well.
(I am going to totally necromancy this thread.)
A tutorial or how-to subforum would be an excellent idea. I think that one of Rhinoās assets, and likely one with an affordable development cost: is this forum.
I appreciate that many people are waiting in the wings, waiting to pounce on someoneās problem, all in good nature, but why not make a subforum for preemptive help?
I suspect that a lot of people donāt have websites, and the lack of a platform might inhibit someone from making a good tutorialāthe one you need.
I use BlendSrf command with Add Shapes option. I have not tried the new Straighten option.
Thatās a really nice improvement, thanks for the tip!
I found that even with Straighten 90, I couldnāt get perfectly straight results at all times, but then with the Planar Sections option, even though it was a bit unintuitive, I found that in a perpendicular viewport I could draw a section straight up, and suddenly the entire blend lined up very nicely.
TestControlPointsInFront
Note, the alt key will be your friend, since the control points will be ādisplayedā in front, but still behind.
As usual with Rhino Uxā¦ already been thereā¦
There is no such command in Rhino 7.13.
My mistake, the command is specifically:
Testtogglecontrolpointstofront
Since I managed to get a few coworkers to try Rhino and couldnāt find a good short tutorial which covered the very basics, I made one:
does the top row on the learn page not qualify as good and short?
If not, what are we missing? Always looking for way to improve the onboarding process for new folks.
I donāt doubt theyāre good, but definitely not short and probably not specialized for industrial design.
(Also, I mention various long standing issues in Rhino that my coworkers are bound to run into, which I doubt idealized promo videos highlightā¦)
