=====Overview=====


The tutorial uses a simple format of GIFs and command names to show us the overall process of making the MX Master 3 mouse casing. A great way to discover the new SubD tools in Rhino 7. Jessesn, of McNeel Asia starts out with a simple SubD plane. Then uses SubObject selection methods on vertices, edges and SubD faces to push, pull, scale and extrude them into the desired shape. Other tools he commonly uses in this process are the Stitch and Crease / RemoveCrease commands.
