How to Create SURFACES from Curves and Edges in Rhino!

[@TheRhinoEssentials]

Hi everyone! Let me know if you have any questions about any of these methods in the comments below! :)

[@egestudios3852]

Can you help? I don't understand how to fix the issue of my surfaces not having a colour and being transparent after I make them. I am confused.

[@kerbodynamicx472]

Is there any way to create a surface from a closed polyline composed of more than 4 points?

[@bladesofevil]

straight to the point , thank you

"Whhhaaats up guys! Justin here with thhhee Sketchup... "... Oh... Sorry. Gets me every time. 😄👍 Great Videos!

[@thequixotryworkshop2424]

Thanks for this video. I use the sweep rail function for complex surfaces. Especially sweep two rails, and rail revolve for round things like ornate turned wood legs. But did not know the loft can also do this. While watching this, I was waiting for you to mention the sweep rails command… as it is also about creating surfaces…

[@TheRhinoEssentials]

Fair comment - probably just stems back to the original idea of the video I had in my head - I was more looking for "here's how you add a face to a circle," or "here's how you cap extruded curves," and the lofting was kind of an afterthought, but you make a great point here. Suppose I'll just have to cover it in another video in the future :)

Thank you! this made me so happy when I was able to import an SVG into curves, create poly surface and extrude, (baby steps I know) This is progress!

[@MaK9123]

Thank you so much for this video! I'm just learning and you've answered a bunch of problems I had with my project! Gonna be checking out the rest of your videos!

Awesome man! I use Rhino for boats that I scan for decking. I use a proliner to scan the boats and then use Rhino to clean and create knife layers for the CNC. My issue is when a surface is in 3d. When I am scanning a boat in 3d unlike 2d it is challenging to create smooth lines. To add another layer, a lot of these curves are double curves. As much as I love learning about Rhino, I just want the ability to scan the boats in 3d, create the surface and unroll the surface. There seems to be many way's to complete this task but the tools are mentioned and I never have the opportunity to see them used in this manner in a tutorial. I know there are many other people in my field that struggle with similar issues. The company tells me to just scan in 2d. I prefer to do things the right way so I scan both 2d and 3d. Sometimes there are significant differences, sometimes they are minimal. I use the 2d scan as a reference. If you have any ideas or suggestions, I would greatly appreciate your help. You are also welcome to reach out to me privately and I would gladly compensate you for your time.

Thanks for this, was really helpfull with a tricky model I had. learned a lot from such a short video.

[@Ricky32908]

Great explanation! I design boat decks and our scanner guy gives me 3D lines to “unroll” sometimes on walls and rolled floors.I’ve been adding ribs and unrolling manually, hopefully I can clean his scan enough to make a few curves to make a surface to unroll

[@redwinecustomfabrications8970]

Using the surfacing tools are quite straight forward, the thing I am struggling with is creating the geometry for complicated 3 dimensional shapes. Any advice or video available on that?

[@nussberger]

Fantastic! Thank you for your hard work!

[@maarirs12894]

Awesome as always

You are so pro mate :D Love your videos GG

[@AvinashsonawaneArtCam]

in 1.55min how do you created 2D in space?? i want create sofa back curved with molding

[@ozcankose3043]

Thank you for that!

[@aimaditribi1063]

Keep going bro I like your work ❤

[@Booo951]

You are great man ❤

[@markcaparas4698]

Hey! Great Video, could you do free form curves with spherical shapes? tHanks

[@simoncastao]

Thank you!!!

[@princeyonas9523]

Hey wassup…… I was wondering is it possible to change different materials in one surface, …….like if I want to make the object or the surface that I created to have half glass and half solid material , when I import it to revit . Can you make a tutorial on that, and tnx for this ,it was helpful.

[@patrickletoile4701]

thank you for the vid :) do you know a way to automatically create surfaces from areas delimited by a closed polylign or lines interconnecting ? The functions exists in AutoCad as "countour" (in french) it is quite a game changer for a beginner like me

[@cecilefoglio1084]

Hi here :) Thank you for this video it did help to get me started with Rhino. I have quite a specific question ; I am trying to create a "pillow" with SubD plane option > Points On > with both X Count and Y count at 4. I would like this SubDPlane to become 3D to get that "puffy' effect like a real pillow, however whenever I select my point and drag them up it doesn't make my plane in 3D.. could you please explain why ? Many many thanks

[@tuantran863]

I want to make the top surface a circle and the bottom ellipse with size 24, what should I do?

[@dreamhunter2542]

hello i use matrixgold which is basically rhino with a spice, my question is where can i find that sirface from 2 3 4 points? or what's the command for it plz? thank you very much

[@carlosbourdet5415]

Do you know how to ascribe an area to a rectangle (or multiple rectangles/shapes) and then manipulate the shapes while keeping the area the same? this would be very helpful for me best regards

[@KilimliStallone]

Thanks

[@stephaniegutierrez3902]

Thank you

[@TheRhinoEssentials]

Thanks for watching!

Hi. In the 1:07 you draw a surface. It's not flat. This is my problem. I work with rhino since few days. Goes well, but my job needs only completly flat surfaces. Often when i connect 3 points in the space the 4th doesn't want to be in the same area, so my surface is bent. Looked for answer, but it's not easy to find it. Thank you. ps. the problem is only if a have to draw it not in xy, xz etc)

[@divyach5616]

How is loft different from sweep?

[@Itiswhatitis-p5k]

How do u create a surface for more than 4 edges?

[@cedric24x]

Hi can you please make a tutorial about how we can use the push pull modeling from sketch up in rhino???

[@TheRhinoEssentials]

Like using the extrude function?

[@odipanda5673]

Hello ! I use rhino since a lot of time but I don't know this : how can u do a surface between 2 closed curves. edgesurface only allow me to do this with open curves. But I 've always looking for a command that allow me to do a surface between 2 closed curve . For example I have a square and a rectangle and i want to create surface for one to another without having to do manually eache surface and then join them. Hope u can help

[@savpant]

Tried “Loft”?
