#RHINO 7 NEW FEATURES UPGRADE#

In setting up constraints, Selecting vertical or horizontal sketch entities (or ones that are close to vertical or horizontal) should give a constraint pop-up that allow you to quickly assign these constraints.

The equal length, parallel, horizontal, and vertical constraints should be able to be applied to more than 1 or 2 sketch entities at once. The construction lines can be very helpful in setting up colinear lines. SW has very conveniently added two line types: construction lines and sketch lines. Like mentioned in the other thread, I would want to select a sketch entity and see its constraints, not the other way around. This would be the preferred way for me.Īfter setting up even a relatively small sketch, I get a very long list of constraints and it will be hard finding back the one you need.

#RHINO 7 NEW FEATURES UPDATE#

Instead of a length constraint, you drag out a dimension and edit the dimension directly, or add a dimension to a line, type the desired dimension and the length will update accordingly. In SW, some constraints get automatically added:Ĭonnections between end points of lines, vertical, horizontal. If I set up a sketch (for example a polyline) and apply constraints, after exploding all constraints are gone. It’s hard to keep track of which parts of the sketch has applied constraints to it, unless you click on the constraint in the panel. IMO that last step should never be needed, since you select a curve entity and Rhino should know to which sketch it belongs. It is very convoluted right now to set up relationships through the side panel, and making sure you have the constraints selected, as otherwise you add a constraint and get an annoying extra step to select the sketch. But perhaps that’s just me focusing a lot on how parametric modellers work so it’s perhaps a bit hard to see how else you could use this feature.Ī little feedback after trying this out for a bit: In addition to his 4th point, it would be nice if you could edit the dimension inside the viewport, without having to go back and forth between the side panel.Īnd I guess to make this something I’d perhaps use a lot would be if this would not only apply to 2D drawings but 3D drawings as well and have Commands like ExtrudeCrv linked to them with a way to change extrusion length etc. Then, if you really need an open sketch you can decide to make it expl… I can understand that I need to define a sketch to make it working but why aren’t all closed crvs directly converted into sketches? This would speed up the process a lot. I saw your video and having the constraint as a panel like an option make them more complex to use. It’s the only feature I’m envy of parametric. Hi constraint is a dream coming real for me. WIP: connections command Serengeti (Rhino WIP) While still in early development we’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and bug reports here. Here are some videos to help you get acquainted with the new features The currently implemented constraints are focused on 2D drawings and the following new commands are available: The constraints panel can be accessed from the panels menu or with the Constraints command. These allow you to build complex relationships in your model that are maintained as geometry is being manipulated.Ĭonstraints_History_Booleans.3dm (284.0 KB) Constraints are a set of rules such as the length of a line, or angle between two lines, that are added to geometry.
