Rhino useful commands

Updated: Nov 22

     Drawing lines     

_Offset [+]

create a line parallel to another, based on a defined measure;

_Fillet [+]

join two curves at their intersection point;

_Join [+]

join several curves into a continuous line;

_Trim [+]

delete parts of curves, based on other reference lines;

ㄴ (1) select cutting object;

ㄴ (2) select parts to cut;

_Split [+]

divide parts of curves, based on other reference lines;

ㄴ (1) select object to divide;

ㄴ (2) select reference line which makes the division;

_Extend [+]

extend curves to other boundary lines;

ㄴ alternatively, you can extend the lines freely, without a limit;

_CloseCrv [+]

close a curve at its open points;

_SimplifyCrv [+]

simplifie the geometry of lines and curves;

_InsertControlPoint [+]

add point(s) to a line;



     Create surfaces     

_Loft [+]

create connection surface between curves;

_PlanarSrf [+]

allows you to create surfaces from curves;

_ExtrudeCrv [+]

create a surface from curve(s) by extruding it/them perpendicularly;

_ExtrudeSrf [+]

create a surface from another surface(s) by extruding it/them in a given direction;

_OffsetSrf [+]

create a surface from another surface(s) by extruding it/them perpendicularly;



     Control surfaces     

_PointsOn [+]

display points of an object or surface;

_MeshSplit [+]

split parts of surfaces, based on other reference objects:

ㄴ Objects to Split = terrain > Cutting objects = sup. auxiliaries (extruded curves)

_MeshTrim [+]

erase parts of surfaces, based on other reference objects;

_BooleanUnion [+]

join two or more surfaces into a single closed surface, deleting the common/extra geometry;

_BooleanDifference [+]

delete, from one or more surfaces, the geometry shared with another surface(s);

ㄴ (1) select the surface(s) from which you want to delete;

ㄴ (2) select the geometry you want to subtract;

_CreateSolid [+]

close surfaces;

_Sweep1 [+]

create surfaces from a series of curves:

ㄴ (1) a curve that defines an edge of the surface;

ㄴ (2) a series of profile curves that define the cross sections of the surface.

_Sweep2 [+]

create surfaces from a series of curves:

ㄴ (1) two curves that define edges of the surface;

ㄴ (2) a series of profile curves that define the cross sections of the surface.

_ArrayCrv [+]

copy elements along a curve, according to a given spacing between elements;

_ApplyPlanarMapping [+]

apply an image to a surface according to a predefined boundary.
