Rhino Tutorial Quick Tips: Advanced Object Snap
Rhino Tutorial Quick Tips: Advanced Object Snap
The advanced object snaps are tools that allow you to pick on geometry in a more sophisticated way than the normal object snaps. Among my favorites "Between" and "Alongline" (which by the way, are nestable within a command, meaning you can type them while a command is active). These tools can be found under menu: Tools > Object Snaps. The first block of osnaps correspond to the traditional ones found at the bottom of Rhino's interface; the second block are the advanced ones. To quickly access these last mentioned, you can hover over the normal object snaps (at the bottom of Rhino's interface) with your mouse, while pressing the Ctrl key down. This will switch from normal to advanced osnaps. I learnt this tip a few days back from Gijs de Zwart, while trying to win a competition on who knew more about Rhino. This item made me loose ;-)...

Rhino Tutorial Quick Tips: Accessing ToolBars
Quick Tips with Rhino Tutorial
In Rhino 4.0 you can access any toolbar by clicking with the right mouse button anywhere on the grey space of the interface. When you do this you have the list of all Rhino toolbars, as well as any plug-in you might have installed. You just need to click or unclick to make them visible. It is that simple, we hope this helped For more of Rhino Tutorial visit RhinoTutorial.com

Rhino Tutorial Quick Tips: Organic Toolbar
Rhino Tutorial Quick Tips: Organic Toolbar
The Organic Toolbar is a nice little tool that allows you to move objects in any viewport, in the right direction (x,y,z). So you don't have to worry about having the right viewport activated, as opposed to using the alt+arrow keys. This toolbar contains several buttons, indicating whereas you will move the selected objects in X, Y or Z, up or down, etc. You can find this toolbar in the toolbar list that shows up, when right-clicking in a grey area of the interface. It is specially very useful when point editing. For me, the best ones, are the "Compress along..." or "Expand along..." buttons, that allow you to move 2 or more points equidistantly in the opposite direction or towards each other. Now, beware of having the points you want to compress/expand all at either side of the originSo we have seen how to compress/expand points that were at either side of the Origin (Cplane or World). But if your points are elsewhere, these buttons won't work the expected way. By shift+right clicking on each button, you will see that these are simply macros using the Scale1d command and the Origin as a reference point. Therefore to make it work, when your points are all at one side or the other of the Origin, you can simply use the Scale1d command, finding as an origin point, the midpoint between the points you wish to expand/compress along, and as a scale factor one of the selected points.

Rhino Tutorial Quick Tips: Trimming or Splitting Surfaces
Rhino Tutorial Quick Tips: Trimming or Splitting Surfaces
Trimmed surfaces are sometimes tricky because, once they are trimmed there are certain commands you can't use on the trimmed edges. Useful commands that allow to create or maintain continuity, such as _MatchSrf or _Symmetry become useless. A possible workaround to this issue is, if appropriate to the situation, to _Untrim the trimmed edge and then to _Split the surface using the command line Isocurve option. This option allows you to keep the same geometry structure for your surface. If you turn ctrl pts on (F10), you'll see all points lie on the surface edge. You can erase the unwanted split part of the surface and use any command you want on the resulted surface! For more of Rhino Tutorial visit RhinoTutorial.com

Rhino Tutorial Quick Tips: Viewport Access
Rhino Tutorial Quick Tips: Viewport Access
Here are 3 tips for quicker access to your viewports:- When you have a maximized viewport you can shuffle to the next by pressing ctrl+tab. This avoids having to double click, coming back to the default 4view and double clicking on the next view.
- But if you do like the clicking, you can at least simplify it by setting it as a single-click. Go to the Options... > View > Under "Viewport Properties", select "Single-click maximize".
- Another way of quickly having access to the viewports is by enabling Viewport Tabs. Just type ViewportTabs and select Show. You can then click on the tabs to make a certain view active. It's a quick way of renaming your views as well, just by double-clicking on the tab.

Best 3d software for furniture design?
In our understanding of what might be the best 3d software it has become clear now that the Rhino 3d modelling software is capable of designing characters just as well as any other 3d modelling software but without breaking the bank account.
But where Rhino really excels is in product design, architectural design and is a leader in the automobile design industry as a car design software furthermore it is a pinnacle player in the furniture design industry as a furniture design software.
Why is Rhino excelling so much as a car design software, house design software and a furniture design software, this is because Rhino works with live measurements, meaning everything you design is to scale, unlike most types of 3d modelling software. This means that you can work with rhino from the beginning of you digital design to the end, using your Rhino file for the final stage of product design whether that be a rubber duck, a Ferrari, a house, or a mould for a gold ring. It hard to argue against rhino possibly being the best 3d software.

Rhino 3d Modelling Software Tutorial Interface
This is a begginers introduction to the Rhino 3d Modelling Software
2. Once you open Rhino this screen will appear, it is asking you to choose which units you would like to work within, I prefer to work in Large Objects - Millimetres.
Note: Your screen interface will stay the same the only difference will the the units you work in, so if you are most comfortable with Feet and Inches, you should use Feet and Inches.
3. This is the Rhino Interface. It is very simple, to your right you have the Layers Toolbar, in the Middle the Viewports, to the bottom you have a Modelling Specific Toolbar to help you manage your model in 3d space, to the Left there is Command Toolbar and to the top is the Command Line and and another General Toolbar.
Note: The simplicity of this interface is hard to find in any other 3d Modelling Software, and this is a large reason why Rhino has such a short learning curve.
4(5). I've quickly placed a rectangular box in the scene. At the top of the Interface is the Command Line, your keyboard is connected to the Command Line at all times even when not selected, this allows you to input commands very quickly much like in the Cad Design Software autocad. The Command Line is very intuative, for example simply typing in "poly" it will produce the polyline tool, and a list of other possible choices beggininer with "poly" this is very useful as it saves typing time and time spent searching for a tool within toolbars.
5(6). The Viewports again are very intuative and follow a system common to almost every 3d Modelling Software. To enlarge any Viewport right-click on the blue tab and choose Maximize, conversiliy you can also simply double-click the tab to achieve the same function. (6.5)
6(7). To change to wire-frame mode right-click the tab again and choose wire-frame, personally my favriote mode to work in is ghosted mode, because it brings the best of both the wire-frame and the shaded modes. (8)
7(8). To the right of the Interface is the Command Toolbar, here are the most used commands, which can also be acsessed via the keyboard in the Command line. As you can see if you click and hold the Polyline Key a further toolbar will emerge showing all of the Line tools available in Rhino. Play around with this and see what you can find.
8(10). Click and hold the Surfaces Key and you will get all the tools available for creating Surfaces, this Toolbar is the most used with Rhino, generally I keep it open at all times. You can do this by simply dragging the tool to where ever you would like it.
9(11). As you did with the Surfaces Toolbar you can do with all the other toolbars, Rhino is a very customiable 3D Modelling Software,
10(13). Movement controls in the Viewports are simple. In a 2d Viewport, hold right-click to pan, and scroll to zoom, in Perspective Viewport, hold right-click to orbit, scroll to zoom and shift + right-click to pan.
This concludes the Interface Tutorial

Best Modelling Software for Animation?
3d modelling software cater to different markets, the best modelling software for you depends on what type of design you are working within.
The Rhino 3d modelling software is clearly our favorite, because it is capable of working within every design industry although it does perform in some better than others. This 3d modelling software is capable of character design for animations and films although to get the strongest qualities for this industry plug-ins such as t-splines are useful to have, but even with this added plug-in you will expect to pay way less than for most other types of 3d modelling software.
There are examples of rhino tutorials for character design and we will post them soon, just to show you how versatile Rhino really is, and to persuade you that rhino really is the best modelling software.
