New in Rhino 7
Rhino 7 is the most significant upgrade in our history. You can create organic shapes with our new SubD tools. Run Rhino and Grasshopper as a Revit® Add-On with Rhino.Inside.Revit. Use the robust QuadRemesh algorithm to create a beautiful quad mesh from NURBS geometry or meshes. With this release, we’ve unlocked completely new modeling workflows and refined many steadfast features. These are the highlights…
SubD
For designers who need to explore organic shapes quickly, SubD is a new geometry type that can create editable, highly accurate shapes. Unlike other geometry types, SubD combines free-form accuracy while still allowing quick editing.Rhino.Inside.Revit
Rhino.Inside.Revit brings the power of Rhino and Grasshopper to the Autodesk Revit® environment.QuadRemesh
Quickly create a quad mesh from existing surfaces, solids, meshes, or SubDs—ideal for rendering, animation, CFD, FEA, and reverse engineering.Presentation
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. We’ve added support for PBR materials, a LayerBook command, and more…
PBR Materials
Physically Based Rendering Materials are beautiful and easy to use.
Denoisers
Denoisers produce high-quality renderings in a fraction of the time.
Emissive Materials
Create self-lit objects commonly found in consumer electronics.
Light Falloff
Specifies how lighting intensity changes when light travels in the scene.
LayerBook
Present ideas quickly with LayerBook.
Gradient and Transparent Hatches
Create attractive 2D representations in a few steps.
Rhino Refined
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…
Named Selections
Quickly save and restore previously selected objects
Mold Making Tools
For mold makers and tool designers, Rhino’s makes the model-test-revise …
Single-Line Fonts
Improve the speed and quality of CNC engravings.
Supported File Formats
Now supporting USD export, glTF, E57 in Rhino for Mac, Dynamic Blocks in …
Display
We are always refining Rhino’s display pipeline to keep up with modern graphics hardware. In Rhino 7, some models will display significantly faster on both Windows and Mac. We’ve also made several refinements to the Display Modes to make them even more eye-popping while you work…Documentation
Modeling is just one part of the design process; you also need to show how to build what is on the screen. We’ve improved many parts of the documentation workflow while also focusing on the more graphically-rich illustration tools like transparency and gradient hatches…
Gradient and Transparent Hatches
Create attractive 2D representations in a few steps.
Layout Management
Vertical panel makes it easier to manage models with many drawings.
Enhanced Text Fields
Text fields are text formulas that can dynamically update.
Grasshopper
Grasshopper seems to be everywhere lately. As usual, we’re having a hard time keeping up (you might even see that familiar canvas in other applications). In Rhino 7, we’ve added some new components, but we’ve also made it easier to turn your programs into plugins…
Grasshopper Player
Turn your Grasshopper definitions into Rhino commands.
Clash Detection
Quickly find where your objects occupy the same space.
Grasshopper Component Placeholders
Placeholder component for missing plugins.
Development Platform
Rhino 7 brings major improvements to our free SDKs, with API refinements, better documentation, and some major new features that broaden and deepen the foundations of the geometry development platform…
Package Manager
Discover, install, and manage your resources.
rhino3dm Libraries
Read and write rhino 3dm files from nearly anywhere.
Rhino.Inside
Access Rhino and Grasshopper within other Windows applications
Rhino.Inside.Revit
Run Rhino and Grasshopper within Revit.
RhinoCommon
New APIs for Shrinkwrap, Flair, Code-Driven File IO, and more...
And More
