The Rhino minimum system requirements are [[https://www.rhino3d.com/7/system-requirements/|here]]. You will also need a good Internet connection and mic/speakers or a headset with mic for the GoToTraining. * **Rhino for Windows** will be used by the instructor during the training. * //Rhino for Mac// is ok, and it will be briefly discussed. But you will need to be able to keep up with the Windows presentation. * The **Rhinoceros for Windows 90 Day Evaluation** (current version) is available for download [[https://www.rhino3d.com/download/rhino-for-windows/7/evaluation|here]]. * All session will be recorded for your review and study. Recordings are generally posted the day of the session. * **Attendance for the live training is mandatory**. * **Web cam sharing** for each session is required to confirm your attendance. * ART Candidates will be required to provide name, location and contact information. ==== Goal: ==== This course will concentrate on how to teach Rhino. How to make users more successful in a short time and without the pain of trial and error. We will not cover in detail each part of Rhino, still the Level I and II guides will be the main reference. ==== Content: ==== The following is a list of topics that will be discussed during the course. * A welcome from McNeel North America * ART and ARTC requirements * New Rhino licensing tools * Level I and II basic courses * One on one training versus class training. Getting to know your pupils. * Class setup (windows / Mac) * Level I training: the most important one. A good start for an excellent user. * Why Rhino. Where the program sits in a project’s workflow. * Interface basics for the end user. * Precision modeling. * Making good curves. * More complex Curve handling. * Keeping your project under control: layers organizations and templates. * Surfaces in Rhino. * “Solids” how to use in a NURBS environment. * Surfacing tools. Which ones and in what sequence. * Meshing for visualization versus meshing for Rapid Prototyping. * Present a Helpful Level I course: Make simple but controlled objects. * Boolean explained. What could go wrong. * NetworkSrf a close look and caveat. * Surfacing in depth (Level II). Comparing different techniques. * The Approach to Modeling: How do objects made with different techniques compare? Advanced ways to analyze objects. * Fillets * Annotations and Layouts * Section Tools: Clipping Sections and Clipping Drawings * UDT * Implicit History * From Implicit to Explicit History aka Grasshopper * While we do not require our ARTs to have a specific knowledge in Grasshopper or any other programming language, it would be good to provide the end users a minimal information about what Grasshopper is.
