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
Surface
The Surface tab. Each divider marks a group, described below in the same order
Five groups, left to right.
Sweeps
Add a Picture PlanePlaces a reference image on a plane.
Sweep 1 RailSweeps a profile along a single rail curve.
Sweep 2 RailSweeps a profile along two rail curves.
Curves On 1 RailDistributes profile curves along one rail, ready to sweep.
Curves On 2 RailsDistributes profile curves between two rails.
Create
CornersA surface through three or four corner points.
RectangularA flat rectangular plane.
Rectangular Plane: 3 PointsA plane placed by three picked points.
EdgesA surface from two, three or four edge curves.
LoftA surface through a series of profile curves.
PatchFits a surface through curves, points and meshes.
RevolveRevolves a profile curve around an axis.
DrapeDrapes a surface over objects like a sheet.
Fit Plane Through PointsThe best-fit plane through picked points.
Vertical PlaneA plane perpendicular to the construction plane.
Cutting PlaneA plane through an object, sized to cut it.
From Planar CurvesCaps planar closed curves with a surface.
NetworkA surface from a network of crossing curves.
BlendA smooth surface between two existing edges.
Rail RevolveRevolves a profile along a rail curve.
HeightfieldBuilds relief from the greyscale of an image.
Extrude
Extrude CurveExtrudes a curve in a straight direction.
Extrude Curve TaperedExtrudes with a draft angle.
Normal to SurfaceExtrudes a curve normal to the surface it lies on.
Extrude Curve to PointExtrudes a curve to a single apex.
Extrude Curve Along CurveExtrudes a curve following a path curve.
RibbonOffsets a curve and surfaces the gap between.
Edit
FilletRounds the joint between two surfaces.
Fillet Surface to Rail CurveFillets following a rail you pick.
ChamferBevels the joint between two surfaces.
ConnectExtends or trims two surfaces so they meet.
OffsetCopies a surface at a set distance.
ExtendLengthens a surface past its edge.
Blend VariableA fillet whose radius changes along the joint.
Fillet Surface to CurveFillets a surface up to a curve.
Chamfer VariableA chamfer whose width changes along the joint.
MatchMatches position, tangency or curvature at an edge.
Variable OffsetOffsets by a distance that varies across the surface.
MergeMerges two untrimmed surfaces into one.
Advanced
Split and Refit SurfaceSplits a surface and refits the pieces.
Divide Surface Along CreasesSplits a surface wherever it kinks.
Surface TangentSets the tangent direction at a surface edge.
Unroll Developable SurfaceFlattens a developable surface for cutting.
Refit Surface to ToleranceRefits a surface within a given tolerance.
RebuildRebuilds a surface with a set point count and degree.
Convert to Single SpansRewrites a surface as single-span patches.
Shrink Trimmed SurfaceShrinks the untrimmed surface under a trim.
SmashFlattens a surface even when not developable.
Flatten SurfaceFlattens a surface into the construction plane.
Adjust Closed Surface SeamMoves the seam of a closed surface.
Rebuild EdgesRestores surface edges to their true geometry.
