Freeform Modeling

Combine precision engineering with artistic freedom. Rhino’s Freeform capabilities enable industrial designers to create visually distinctive, manufacturable products.

Are you an Industrial Designer or part of a design production team? Enjoy a streamlined workflow for form finding and accuracy in Rhino 9! Whether creating complex transitions, control point massaging, attaining surface continuity or analyzing surfaces, check out Rhino 9’s toolset.

Creation & Modeling

Patch

We’ve all been there: The deadline is nearing, but just that pesky gap keeps you from sending out the part to your client.

Patch solves complex surfacing problems quickly. Create untrimmed and multi-sided surfaces that reach up to curvature continuity to neighboring surfaces. Fit surfaces through pointclouds and meshed with ease. Goodbye late night office hours. Welcome Patch!

FilletSrf

FilletSrf suits a typical surface modeling workflow: Building fillets between non-connected (poly)surfaces. FilletSrf now automatically continues across tangent faces, saving you countless mouse clicks.

FilletEdge

Smooth corners, precise design! FilletEdge ’s Setback corners deliver better performance for molding and provide an elegant visual flow.

Form Finding & Editing

GumballUVN

The Gumball’s new object mode enables a precise and interactive experience for control point massaging in Rhino. Couple it with DragStrengh or SoftTransform for more control…

SoftTransform

SoftTransform enables Industrial Designers to refine form while maintaining smooth, continuous surfaces . Control point massage your surfaces by setting up a radius or the number of control points that the falloff will influence. Create crowns and other gradual changes to your product’s shape.

Proportional Editing in Rhino made simple! With a minimal selection set, apply fallofs to your geometry in a natural and proportional way. Couple it with UndoSelection to browse back and forth selection sets and focus on refining your designs…

Rebuild

Rebuild reconstructs selected curves or surfaces to a specified degree and control point number. New adaptive rebuild technology matches the shape of the input curve with higher accuracy. The adaptive rebuild technology only applies to curves.

Design Analysis

A design validation can only happen after a thorough analysis of the shape and connections between surfaces. Rhino 9 offersimproved surface analysis tools, for both visual and numerical analysis. Accurate analysis allows to modify surfaces composing an object to make sure they attain G0, G1 or G2 continuity as per the requirements stablished.

Quickly Move, Rotate, Scale, Copy, Cut, and Extrude geometry without typing commands or clicking a toolbar button. This makes the Gumball a versatile direct modeling tool for concept modeling interior and exterior architectural forms, certain furniture styles, SciFi models, and working with SubD objects.
