I’ve learned a lot over the past year, and the most useful knowledge came when coworkers showed me their preferred ways of solving everyday problems. Some of these commands I ended up using on a daily basis and saved me countless hours. The idea of this thread is for you to share some of your tips w…

another nice one to share: workflow for simple mostly planar geometry to avoid coplanar booleans or trimming / Joining of planar stuff: _nonManifoldMerge + _cap lets say you have some outer surface and some inner details [image] _nonManifoldMerge to get a single scattered brep with gabs [ima…

[image] Tom_P: If you do not know _nonManifoldMerge I had no idea this existed or that you can make such cursed BReps…this is pretty much like joining meshes together even if they aren’t touching right? What is the actual use case of this command?

Search in this topic tells me noone mentioned it yet… Nudge. (Modeling aids > Nudge) Give it a try! [2026-03-10 14_20_09-MY 26 ENDURO M 045.3dm (605 MB) - Rhino 7 Commercial - Perspective] For example, while designing bikes, I use 250mm value. And I set to work with simple arrows and to always…

I’ve been doing similar just with the move command and ortho, never thought to use nudge though, could be quite handy! Also, to your [image] Riccardo Majewski: +1 “short time dimension” , undo/redo spam (for the desperate :rofl:) You can rescue geometry from the “past” with copy/paste as it…

[image] Riccardo Majewski: doesn’t mess with the Undo/Redo as it’s not a command Nudge moves are included in the Undo stack…

You’re right, I meant “Last command” history (richt-click , space, enter) . I edited my post. Thanks!

[image] David: You can rescue geometry from the “past” with copy/paste as it doesn’t factor into undo/redo. Saved my bacon a couple of times. Ah yeah, I call that practice TARDIS manipulation xD It saves me a bunch of times almost everyday. For those unaware of the Doctor Who reference, firs…

i don’t see it, so it’s either already well-known or not-known - home and end are undo/redo for camera position. super useful for recovering camera views or for toggling between two different views if you have a small monitor.

Perhaps too small to fit in here… _DupEdge alternative Sub-select the edges, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, and we have the curves.

What rhino commands do you use on a regular basis and think others don't know about?
