Grasshopper seems to be everywhere lately. We've improved many parts of the documentation workflow while also focusing on the more graphically-rich illustration tools like transparency and gradient hatches. Modeling is just one part of the design process you also need to show how to build what is on the screen. We've also made several refinements to the Display Modes to make them even more eye-popping while you work. In Rhino 7, some models will display significantly faster on both Windows and Mac. We are always refining Rhino's display pipeline to keep up with modern graphics hardware. In Rhino 7, we've fixed hundreds of bugs, but we've also added workflow improvements like Named Selections, Mold Making tools, a Single-Line font for engraving, and improved interoperation with third-party file formats. We've added support for PBR materials, a LayerBook command, and more.

In Rhino 7, we've improved the presentation tools, streamlining the workflow with a major update to the Rhino Render engine, so the same look you get in your Raytraced viewport can be rendered without any changes. Quickly create a quad mesh from existing surfaces, solids, meshes, or SubDs-ideal for rendering, animation, CFD, FEA, and reverse-engineering. brings the power of Rhino and Grasshopper to the Autodesk Revit® environment. Unlike other geometry types, SubD combines free-form accuracy while still allowing quick editing. With this release, we've unlocked completely new modeling workflows and refined many steadfast features.įor designers who need to explore organic shapes quickly, SubD is a new geometry type that can create editable, highly accurate shapes. Use the robust QuadRemesh algorithm to create a beautiful quad mesh from NURBS geometry or meshes. Run Rhino and Grasshopper as a Revit® Add-On with. You can create organic shapes with our new SubD tools. Preview sizes are pretty straight forward.Rhino 7 is the most significant upgrade in our history. MaxBboxGap is the number of bounding boxes a curve can be hidden before being drawn again (because all hatch lines are infinite) higher numbers = longer definitions. The plug-in tries to come up with something reasonable based on the bounding box size and the file tolerance tighter tolerance = longer definitions. DecimationTolerance is how roughly curves are broken into line segments. Currently you can only have non-negative values (so no overlapping). The quick rundown for the options would be: X and Y padding is how much room to add between repeating the curves selected.

Only thing different in this version is that while it still writes a *.pat file, the hatch pattern will also be added to the file.Īs for documentation for use, the plug-in adds one command: makeHatch. I had wanted to rewrite this so it worked on both Windows and Mac, but I won’t keep you waiting while I figure that out.
