Hi,
Does anyone know of a source of Rhino drawn (not meshes, not step or iges, not drawn in solidworks etc, but Rhino drawn, Nuts Bolts to Imperial sizes.
Surely Rhino comes with a library of fasteners ?
The other progs do.
At least if its Rhino drawn there is no corruption likely, no knock on effects causing mayhem further into the project.
I used an online suggested source McMaster or something, and discovered later on it was meshes, the poly count sent my projects into a file save of 1.5Gb and deleting them just saw file size grow, meltdown was entered.
If I need a bolt and nut for 3/8inch, I want one quicko,
I dont want to be told how to draw one.
Perhaps we could have a sticky section on basic useful items at top of forum !
Food4rhino.com has several options, including plugins for both Rhino and Grasshopper. I really like Boltgen, mentioned by @michaelkreft. It’s super stable and quick.
Go to mcmaster.com find the part you want click on the part, a pop-up description and an oportunity to download a cad version. I pick dxf because rhino has no problem opening it.
