Where
Due to COVID restrictions and precautions for both travel and social distancing, this class will be online.
Classroom
Each student will require a Windows laptop with Rhino 6 for Windows or the current shipping Rhino. Rhino for Windows will be used in the training. Rhino for Mac will be discussed.
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
- 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.
