====== Rhino 7 SubD Tutorials ====== > **Summary:** Rhino 7 includes a new Sub-D Geometry Type to allow for more flexible modeling. Rhino's SubDs are accurate and repeatable. This allows our SubD to be converted to NURBS for fabrication. Traditionally SubD objects are mesh-based and lend themselves well to more approximate types of modeling such as character modeling and creating smooth organic forms. Rhino SubD objects are, however, high precision spline-based surfaces and thus introduce a level of accuracy to the process of creating complex freeform shapes. Go to the [[https://discourse.mcneel.com/c/serengeti/sub-d/55|Rhino SubD Discussion]] to join the conversation about this new tool.
