Course Outline

In this comprehensive 3-day class you'll learn to create and edit accurate 3-D models. This fast-moving class covers most of Rhino's functionality, including the most advanced surfacing commands.

Structure

In this class, you will systematically move through the user interface, command access, creation and editing curves, surfaces and solids.

Expected Outcomes

After this course the student is expected to be able to:

Utilize the features of the Rhino user interface
Customize your modeling environment
Create basic graphic objects—lines, circles, arcs, curves, solids, and surfaces
Model with precision using coordinate input, object snaps, and SmartTrack™ tools
Modify curves and surfaces with edit commands and Gumball
Use control point editing to modify curves and surfaces
Analyze your model
Display any portion of the model
Export and import models to and from different file formats
Render the model using Rhino Render
3D Print
Intro to Grasshopper: (Windows users will need the Grasshopper for Rhino plugin. Mac users will need to own Mac and have the WIP downloaded. Otherwise, you may decide to watch this part.)

What to bring

A Windows or Mac computer with the latest Rhinoceros 5 for Windows (full or Evaluation) or Rhino for Mac (full or eval) installed. Also you will need a three button mouse (we like this mouse for both Windows and Mac)and your desire to learn!

Previous drafting and modeling experience is helpful, but not required.
