What is your favorite Rhino tip I missed?

For someone coming from 10+ years of SketchUp to Rhino these are invaluable tips and tricks. So useful. Thanks.

My pleasure! One (of many) goals with this channel is to make it as smooth as possible to transition to an integrated Rhino Revit workflow. You can still do so much with mesh geometry in Rhino but I think some of the nuances that make Sketchup feel smooth are in Rhino but tend to be "hiding in plane sight" as I like to say. It took a fair bit of tinkering to suddenly have that realization so I'm happy to keep sharing those types of workflows. Let me know specific study types you are looking to do and that can help me when pondering what content to put together next! Still trying to establish a consistent upload cadence so I appreciate the patience. Cheers!

@@7fold_design You're right about them hiding in plain sight (see suggestion below).....I must have 25 plug-ins for SketchUp loaded which I can't survive without and that make it usable as a daily driver for Architectural conceptual work, but which then always ends up being modelled further to at decent level of accuracy and detail. I suspect most of those plug-ins are native to Rhino but I don't know how to access them. The issue I have is that practices are more and more seeing SU as a hobby tool (despite it being super accurate) and Rhino as more of design tool and more professional. The fact that it also appeals to old-school AutoCAD users because of the typed-command line similarities adds to allure. Couple this with the advent of Rhino inside, potentially filling both of the two gaping holes in Revit (organic and fluent modelling and detailing, the nightmare that that is in Revit!) it looks more and more as though Rhino + Revit will be the future for most of us. It's just a shame that we also have to dig into Grasshopper too to get additional functionality as SU plug-ins offer most of what this offers but without the requirement to get involved in semi-programming, something which is way beyond the average user. I have yet to explore Grasshopper scripts and add-ons, which may help, but it still looks like a real bind. It would be really useful for SU users who are trying to convert over to Rhino to see the equivalent workflow in Rhino going from raw 2D CAD data into a finished small house or building covering all the basics we'd use in SU. Thinking about it on the most basic level the primary commands I'd use for this would be (in no particular order): - zoom/pan/orbit using zoom-wheel mouse (although I also use a SpaceMouse) - views - how to set them to parallel/perspective/fixed plan (hugely missing in SU) - views - setting styles (CAD-look/coloured/rendered) - View - X-ray mode (for modelling) - keyboard shortcuts - setting them up (essential, single key if possible) - selection - incl. adding/subtracting from selection - line (inc inferencing and locking direction) - move (inc inferencing and locking direction) - rotate (to set degree or reference) - hide/unhide object - isolate object (unisolate) - Push/Pull - Follow me - Components (blocks) - how to create, use, edit, locate - Groups - as above I'd say if a SU user knew the Rhino equivalent of these areas from SU they'd be able to model almost immediately in Rhino.

Hey I really appreciate your insights and genuine curiosity! Good news is reading through your list I can say with confidence you can do all those commands with Follow Me as the only question mark I will look into. I would be happy to build a residential-based workflow extrapolating from a 2D CAD plan. Do you have any material you would be willing to share as a starting point? Feel free to email bimacademy@7fold.io if you are interested and want to continue discussing offline. Many of the methods are in this video but I'm happy making another that contextualizes Rhino in the context of a real project scenario. And to respond to your first paragraph, I agree the future is a hub-spoke model with an integrated Rhino Revit workflow as the hub through which the primary design decisions are being modelled. I've already been loving using Rhino.Inside to QC my Revit models at scale across multiple linked RVT models. I find now if I had to pick between Dynamo and Grasshopper to learn I would definitely start in Grasshopper. Even though I don't have Dynamo tutorials up yet I'm versed in both environments and find GH to be much more intuitive with targeting and organizing data with the user interface much more enjoyable. Lots of "bridging discussions" to be had for sure but I'll do my best to continue addressing them as much as possible!

Super tips, thanks!

brilliant tips, thanks! sth a bit off topic, but while we're here, what digital piano brand is that one in your right ? any suggestions on that regard?

Nord Stage 2. I wanted to have weighted keys and "feel" like a piano without buying a full grand piano and have the flexibility for digital audio production. It's a hobby! I'd definitely recommend finding a music store to play the keyboard if you're in the market since the keys action was a big selling point for me.
