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
SubD
The SubD tab. Each divider marks a group, described below in the same order
Nine groups, left to right.
Convert and display
To SubDTurns a mesh or surface into a SubD.
Display ModeSwitches between the smooth and the box view.
Primitives
Single FaceOne SubD face from four corners.
PlaneA flat SubD plane.
BoxA SubD box.
SphereA SubD sphere.
EllipsoidA SubD ellipsoid.
CylinderA SubD cylinder.
ConeA SubD cone.
Truncated ConeA SubD cone with its tip cut off.
TorusA SubD ring.
From curves
Sweep 1Sweeps a profile along one rail as SubD.
Sweep 2Sweeps a profile along two rails as SubD.
MultipipeBuilds a SubD pipe network around a curve skeleton.
OffsetOffsets a SubD, optionally solidifying it.
ReflectAdds a mirror plane so both halves stay in sync.
Remove SymmetryDrops the symmetry constraint, freeing both halves.
RevolveRevolves a profile into a SubD.
LoftLofts a SubD through profile curves.
Extract Control PolygonDraws the control cage as a mesh.
ExtrudeExtrudes a curve or face into a SubD.
Extract SurfacePulls a face out as its own surface.
RadiateRepeats geometry radially around an axis.
Add geometry
Insert PointAdds a vertex to a face.
Insert EdgeInserts an edge loop.
Expand EdgesWidens an edge into a band of faces.
AppendAdds a face onto a border edge.
SubdivisionSplits every face, raising the density.
InsetInsets a face inside its own border.
Edit
BevelBevels the edges you pick.
Remove CreaseSoftens an edge marked sharp.
CreaseMarks an edge as sharp.
Merge FacesMerges the faces you pick into one.
SmoothRelaxes the shape, evening out the vertices.
Slide EdgeSlides an edge along the surface.
Spin EdgeRotates a shared edge to the other diagonal.
Merge Coplanar FaceMerges faces lying in the same plane.
Align VerticesLines up the vertices you pick.
Soft TransformMoves a vertex and lets the neighbours follow.
Close and repair
StitchSews two SubD borders together.
Fill HoleCloses an open border with new faces.
BridgeConnects two openings with a tube of faces.
Delete FaceRemoves the faces you pick.
Remesh
Quad MeshRebuilds the shape as an even quad grid.
Repair MeshFixes what stops a mesh becoming a SubD.
Pack SubD FacesPacks the faces into texture space.
Set Per Face Color By Face PackColours each face by its pack, to read the layout.
Selection
SubD EdgeSelects edges.
SubD FaceSelects faces.
SubD VertexSelects vertices.
SubD ObjectSelects the whole SubD.
Loop EdgeSelects the edge loop through a picked edge.
Loop FaceSelects the face loop through a picked face.
Edge RingSelects the ring of parallel edges.
SubD EdgesSelects every edge of the SubD.
Toggle Face Edge VertexCycles the selection filter.
Select SubDSelects every SubD in the file.
Faces To BoundaryGrows a face selection out to a border.
BrushPaints a selection with the cursor.
Named SelectionsSaves a selection to recall later.
Make SubD FriendlyRebuilds a curve or surface so SubD tools accept it.
