New in Rhino 8
Rhino 8 brings new modeling tools like ShrinkWrap, a huge speed boost for Mac users, SubD Creases, PushPull workflows, better drafting tools, a more customizable User Interface, a faster Render engine, new Grasshopper data types, and much more.
ShrinkWrap: Turn Garbage To Gold
ShrinkWrap creates a watertight mesh around open or closed meshes, NURBS geometry, SubD, and point clouds: ideal for creating meshes for 3D printing.
Built for Mac
Rhino for Mac is faster than ever, running natively on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, and using the Apple Metal display technology. We’ve also brought the User-Interface on Mac closer to its Windows sibling…
Blazingly fast 3D drawing, a massive speed boost for Mac users.
Customize, save, share, and restore your favorite interface layouts.
Rhino for Mac runs natively on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
A complete rewrite, on Windows and Mac, including all new features.
We've updated the Cycles engine for faster, GPU-accelerated raytracing.
SubD Creases
SubD Creases create a feature between a smooth and a sharp edge, without adding complexity to the SubD control net, great for making fillet-like features.
Modeling: Simplified
Rhino 8 unlocks new modeling workflows — like PushPull — and adds intuitive new features to the Gumball, Automatic CPlanes, and more…
Rhino's model creation tools make it flexible, accurate, open, and very popular.
Smarter CPlanes automatically align to eligible selections.
The move, scale, rotate widget gets new grips for extending and extruding.
Grab a face and push or pull it, extruding or extending.
New Options and support for Surfaces and Polysurface Faces.
Clipping and Sectioning
Rhino 8 introduces a number of clipping and sectioning enhancements to help support various drafting and fabrication workflows…
Clipping planes and section styles give more control when using clipping …
Selective clipping and viewing depth.
Create dynamic vector drawings of clipping sections.
Use Clipping Planes Views in 2D Layouts.
Extract section curves and slices for fabrication.
