PushPull

New in 8

Grab faces and push or pull them. Speed up modeling by using curves to add or remove volumes from existing surfaces.

Multiface Support
New in V9

PushPull enables direct manipulation of multiple faces by pushing or pulling. Extend roofs and walls, add sharp or rounded corners, and modify wall thicknesses in a single step! Supports flat and rounded faces. Great for early-stage design, concept modeling, or making final design edits.

Direct Modeling Meets Parametric Design

Combine PushPull ’s direct modeling approach with Grasshopper’s parametric power to have the best of both worlds.

PushPull and Parametric Control with Rhino.

Faster Concept Exploration

PushPull shines in early-stage design, allowing users to directly manipulate geometry without the hassles of reconstructing features and details. Quickly test proportions and volumes and iterate between multiple variations.

Intuitive Modeling / Rapid Editing

Directly manipulate geometry without the need to think about constraints. Modify your geometry without breaking your model. Adjust holes, ribs, add recesses, and modify wall thicknesses.

PushPull is Ideal…

For architects to:

Create architectural massings
Modify wall thicknesses
Create building extensions
Move and edit windows, openings, or other elements

For designers to:

Modify features on consumer products (ribs, holes, lips)
Modify shell thicknesses
Quick concept iterations
Final stage design changes

Try It

Download Rhino 9 WIP for Windows or Mac.
Download and open the MultiSrf_PushPull_Arch_TryIt.3dm model.
Run the PushPull command.
At the Select surfaces to PushPull prompt , select the walls marked 1 , 2 and 3 . Press Enter to confirm.
At the PushPull distance prompt, drag your mouse outward to define the direction. Type 500 for the distance.
You have now modified multiple connected surfaces without rebuilding the model!
Try it on your own! Experiment with your own models.
