I love the logic of the tools and how theyre organized.

Rhino allows me to create objects in multiple ways but there are too many issues that force me to switch programs constantly so as to be able to fully define my objects without errors. Some visual feedback on problem areas would be awesome.Ĭomments: The logic of the program and the way its organized is super helpful. There are also times when complex surfacing commands fail for no apparent reason. Grasshopper has some answers here, but the learning curve is very steep and time consuming. I would love a more parametric approach to surface modelling. Rhino is not perfect, there are frustrating parts about the controls and interface like all programs. It simply offers the best bang for buck in the market place. In the feature film industry where I work I have seen Rhino taking market share especially since they released a MAC compatible version. The team at Rhino should be commended for the reliability and stability of their product. The high end products are often buggy, have poorly implemented new features and draconian licensing systems. I own license's for other much more expensive Parametric solids modellers which led me to expect even higher capabilities and quality. Its also highly extensible with a range of companion programs and add-ons. Its extensibility with Grasshopper has really made it unique in the CAD world. The more I use Rhino the more I discover it can do. They have also made great strides in the drafting component of the software to the point where I finally ditched AutoCAD. Solids, surfaces or meshes, Rhino is great. The best thing about Rhino is that it does everything well. The product is highly capable, excellently coded and well supported by the manufacturer.

Comments: If I could only have one CAD program I'd choose Rhino.
