  • Drag an arrow (1) to move the object along X, Y, or Z axis.

  • Drag an arc (2) to rotate the object around X, Y, or Z axis.

  • Drag a small square (3) to scale the object in X, Y, or Z axis.

  • Drag a plane (4) to move the object on a plane defined by two axes.

  • Darg a dot (5) to extrude a curve or surface.

  • Drag a dash (6) to extrude a curve to cut another object.

iRhino3D WIP can solve hops definitions on a remote server.

  • Once you have a compute server running, enter the server (Https) url and API key by going to Settings > Extra > Hops

  • Tap “Check Connection” to ensure the server is running.

  • You can now upload a Hops definition and display the results
