Digital Futures Workshop Series
Pratt Institute
School of Undergraduate Architecture
Rhino Workshop Level I
Location- HHN 308
Date + Time- 2010.02.04, 7-10pm
Requirements- Participants are required to bring a laptop with Rhino 4.0 (SR7) installed: download demo
Description- The workshop will serve as an introduction to Rhino 4. Participants will be introduced to the most elementary concepts and techniques needed to develop drawings and models in Rhino 4. Topics covered will include interface, navigation, settings and configurations, 2d/3d curve geometry, surfaces, and solids. Emphasis will be placed on creating a procedural understanding of the methods of generating content in Rhino 4.
Workshop Outline:
User Interface, Navigation, Settings, Standards
-interface
-mouse navigation/hotkeys
-layers/properties
-options settings (units, command aliases, line display settings, etc.)
-views and the construction plane
Creating Curve Geometry
-command prompt, coordinate input methods
-Reference Geometry: point, textdot, text
-Primitive Curves: line, polyline, rectangle, polygon, circle, arc, ellipse
-freeform curves: curve, interpolated curve
-Curve modifiers: trim, split, intersect, divide, explode, join, fillet, chamfer, curve boolean, hatch
-Transformations: move, rotate (2d/3d), scale (3d/2d/1d), copy, array, array polar, mirror, group
-Workshop Tutorial #1: developing curve geometry in plan
Creating Surfaces and Solids
-Primitives: plane, box, cylinder, cone, sphere, torus, 4 point surface
-Surfaces Derived from Curves: extrude, revolve, loft, sweep1, sweep2, pipe
-Curves on Surfaces: Intersect, project, extracting Isocurve
-Surface/Solid Modifiers: trim, split, boolean union, boolean subtraction, boolean intersection
-Workshop Tutorial #2: developing 3d models from plan, section, elevation
Other Useful Tools
-generating high resolution screen captures
-generating 2d drawings from 3d views
-exporting to DWG, AI
-printing
