What You Will Learn
- Learn the differences between two fundamental approaches to creating 3D (Surface modeling vs. Mesh modeling). While both ultimately aim to define shapes, they differ significantly in their underlying methodology, their strengths, and their applications.
- Learn to use Rhino3D commands and Gemvision parametric commands together in the MatrixGold interface.
- Learn to use powerful modeling aids for greater efficiency and setting up a proper relationship between your objects.
- Learn to use layers to organize your projects. Keep things tidy so it is easy to get to the objects you want when you need them, and hide them when you do not.
- Learn fundamental 2D and 3D CAD tools common with all CAD software.
- Learn to use Trim to create more complicated shapes quickly.
- Learn to use BoxEdit to transform your shapes.
- Learn to use the Profile Placer to create and change the shape of multiple profiles.
- Learn to sweep the profiles using different combinations of Sweep 1 and Sweep 2.
- Learn to use the Profile Editor to change and fix your geometry.
- Learn to Job Bag your commands and geometry for future projects.
- Learn to use the Rope command to create different types of rope and braided bands.
- Learn to create a Comfort Fit with Cut To Ring Rail.
- Learn when to use Boolean Union vs. Mesh Repair at time of export.
- Learn how to properly set your Export Settings to control mesh density and details.
- Learn to convert logos into extruded CAD using Raster To Vector.
- Learn two amazing commands to create signet rings – Signet and Signet Advanced.
- Learn to hollow a ring with MSR Object.
- Learn how to convert geometry into SubD using the Quad Remesh command.
- Learn to import your Rhino profiles into the Profile Editor.
- Learn to unroll a surface using the AutoBase command.
- Learn to flow elements onto a surface using the SmartFlow command.
- Learn to use SmartPatterns and create new ones.
- Learn about the UVW coordinate system.
- Learn to use a dummy surface to add extra control to some dynamic commands.
