Beta

These docs cover RhinoArtisan 7.0, which is still in beta. The contents are provisional: features and pages can still be added, changed or removed before the final release.

Tabs

Select

Each divider marks a group, described below in the same order

Selecting the right objects is most of the work in a piece with three hundred stones. This tab collects Rhino’s selection commands into a single grid, and the ones that come in families carry a submenu.

Two groups, left to right.
