Rhino 7 – Educational – Lab Kit McNeel

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.

Accurate, organic modeling just got easier. Push and pull to explore complex, free-form shapes in realtime.

SubD objects are highly accurate and can be converted directly to manufacturable solids. You can also convert scan or mesh data into SubD objects, then optionally to NURBS.

Rhino.Inside.Revit

Rhino.Inside.Revit brings the power of Rhino and Grasshopper to the Autodesk Revit® environment.

Rhino.Inside is a new technology that allows embedding Rhino into other 64-bit Windows applications. Rhino.Inside.Revit is based on this technology and provides a platform for an unprecedented level of integration between Rhino and Revit.
Grasshopper brings a collection of new components for interacting with Revit, as well as providing access to the two software APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) using its script components.

QuadRemesh

Quickly create a quad mesh from existing surfaces, solids, meshes, or SubDs—ideal for rendering, animation, CFD, FEA, and reverse-engineering.

Display

Rhino’s display pipeline balances speed and beauty, displaying your models fast, how you want them, while you work.
Rhino’s display pipeline is fast and uses modern graphics hardware features, like GPU sensitive shaders and memory optimizations. This results in fewer GPU-specific display glitches and more consistent, beautiful, and frequent frames, even with large models. Features include extremely fast 3D graphics, unlimited viewports, shaded, working views, perspective working views, named views, floating views, full-screen display, draw order support, two‑point perspective, clipping planes, and one-to-one scale to view models at full size.

Grasshopper

Rhino 7 adds some new components, and makes 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.

Presentation

Rhino 7 has improved 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. Support for PBR materials, a LayerBook command, and more features have been added…

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.

Rhino Refined

In Rhino 7, hundreds of bugs have been fixed, but there are also new 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 puts the mold creation “model-test-revise” workflow on rails.

Single-Line Fonts
Improve the speed and quality of CNC engravings during the fabrication process.

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…
