Woah Thanks so much! Just getting back into rhino after many many years and it’s soo great to see what tools there are for architects now!

[@HowtoRhino]

You're welcome! Glad you've enjoyed the video :)

[@vu_derArchitekt]

Push-Pull would be a game-changer!!!

[@HowtoRhino]

Well, now it's a reality :D It's in the top 3 features in my oppinion :)

[@AephVeyniker]

Unfortunately push pull has proven to be inaccurate with medium complexity models hence its usability is limited.

[@kummer45]

This is why I'm subscribed to these people. Either way, this is a COMPLETE game changer. I can't imagine all the things that could be made with Grasshopper 3D 1 and Grasshopper 3D 2 with THESE features. Parametric design is going to have a game changing tool with Rhinoceros 8. I've been using Rhinoceros since the 5 edition. This company is PURE quality and delivery. Besides this is an essential tool for EVERYBODY. Parametric architecture will get more sophisticated with a tool like this making insanely hard things easy and exploration, fascinating. Thanks guys for such warmth welcome to the program Rhino 8. :D

[@HowtoRhino]

You're welcome @kumer45 and thanks for the comment! :D

[@robinchatterjee1519]

thanks for keeping us updated, ur the best !

[@HowtoRhino]

Thank you! You're welcome :)

[@smithmultiverse]

Dusan thank you for sharing your top 10 new features, really enjoyed the final clipping examples. Such a gift

[@HowtoRhino]

Glad you found it helpful Walter! Cheers!

[@exoss]

Pull/push > new gumball > auto cpanel > monochrom >selectiv style >selective clipping

[@HowtoRhino]

I guess it depends on the user preferences at the end :)

[@teresajiang3454]

Push pull is from sketch up😂

[@petesmith4601]

Insane update. It’s like a new application

[@HowtoRhino]

Yeah, the updates are pretty awesome. Thanks for the comment!

[@ezekielflores2149]

I knew there was some updates to the clipping planes, but I hadn't yet seen how to do it, or how easy it was. Really excited for the types of graphics that are now possible with them. Not to mention all the other great new features that have come with rhino 8. I'm looking forward to seeing how I can elevate my design modeling and process as I acclimate myself to the new Rhino and hopefully soon to be fully realsed GH2.

[@HowtoRhino]

Yes, true. Selective clipping is a feature that was requested so many times before. It's finally here! And yeah, we're also cheering for the full release of Gh2 :D

[@fubuffer]

You guys finally sort out the section tools. GJ

[@HowtoRhino]

Yes, now Rhino has native integration with section tools as well. We'll show this in some of the future tutorials for sure

[@akshaykorlekar]

Amazing features ! great video, thanks for creating

[@HowtoRhino]

Thanks! We appreciate that :)

[@justalex961]

The new gumball is revolutionary!

[@HowtoRhino]

Yep! It's really going to speed up modeling process together with push/pull & autocplane combo

[@johnbearross]

Thank you for the succinct summary. Best. JBR

[@HowtoRhino]

Sure thing! Thank you John!

[@ryanleethomas]

Anywhere we can load new hatch styles?

[@eltamarindo]

In regard to selective clipping, this function does work in display modes in the viewport (Windows 10) but does not work for Raytracing or Vector Output (PDF). Based on my experience, I would say that this feature is currently a work in progress in Rhino 8. The feature unexpectedly now works better in Rhino 8 for Mac than in Rhino 8 for Windows.

[@surnamerender]

Hi! If we speak about dark mode, is there way to make upper header of program window dark too? It is too bright and annoying

[@camiloapolo4676]

When I use the 'make2d' command, the section styles I used do not appear. I wanted to export a drawing to Illustrator to edit it, but I couldn't. Do you know how to do it?

[@jopuckful]

I'm a bit stuck on how the screen-capture and sketch-on-top-of-feature is performed at 25:32. Is that windows, or the recording software, because I see no command line change in rhino.

[@HowtoRhino]

At 25:32 - I'm showing how to use Selective clipping feature. Regarding the sketch feature. I just selected the surface with ctrl+shift+select to active AutoCplane and then I typed "Sketch" in the command line, but it was done at 23:27 Every single command I do, you have a name of that command in the upper right corner of the window. Hope that helps.

[@jopuckful]

@@HowtoRhino Thanks for the response. I don't think this has anything to do with Rhino or the clipping feature. You just happened to be talking about that feature when you drew a window on top of Rhino, and a dotted box appears with control points on the corners and midway points like Adobe Indesign, with two tool bars appearing in the lower right corner to draw, type, change color, save, etc. I'm just curious if that was your screen-recording software or something in Windows 11 or what. I am on Windows 10 and am unfamiliar with this sketching-on-the-screen ability, and cant seem to find it with Googling or reverse image searching the little corner tool bars.

[@antonioandrearq]

top features for modeling

[@HowtoRhino]

Yep! :)

[@franciscocarrera6188]

can you import the workspace from 7 into 8? We had it set up so nice and tidy and it'd be gruesome to have to redo it. Any thoughts? thx

[@JasonGillmanJr]

As a developer (I'm definitely not an architect or graphics pro), one of the features I really like is the ability to script using cpython. Probably kind of a niche thing, but figure I'd throw it out there for others who like using Python with Rhino.

[@HowtoRhino]

Yes, great point Jason! There's numerous updates like this under the hood. On the other hand, we're definately not developers, but we're also getting into scripting now with Python :D

[@JasonGillmanJr]

@@HowtoRhino Between Grasshopper and Python, Rhino definitely offers great capabilities for computational design for sure!

[@faisalazamkhan3240]

When will rhino create a tool like shaper 3d for ipad

[@HowtoRhino]

There is something like that in the works. Check out this link: www.rhino3d.com/ios/

[@MDLEUA]

Great video, any of these new functions are also in grasshopper?

[@HowtoRhino]

Not really, but Grasshopper has some improvements on its own as well. You can check some of them in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5StmnSwo5tgr6ssi=ZnlhBIrRkDuI_mgl

[@No_Plastic]

Great demo, thank you. Just wondering which screenshot program are you using at 25:33 ? to make markings over the viewport. Thank you so much

[@HowtoRhino]

Thanks! It's called "Lightshot"

[@YalınÖzer]

I tried 1 hour and couldn't find how to add a short key for AutoPlane. If anyone found it can you tell me a trick or something ? Best regards

[@iq0099]

Every time I download your evaluation it does not work. When I ask for help, no - help.. When I do get help, the evaluation is expires and ever since ver4 and up to this release.. I have not been able to get it to work.

[@HowtoRhino]

Did you check if your system can support it? What issues are you facing specifically?

[@sharied4319]

Splendid

[@HowtoRhino]

indeed :D

[@mikatakalo8376]

Still no ribbon toolbar?

[@AutomotiveCNC]

The tabs in Rhino 5, 6, 7 and 8 do the same job, except that they contain much more icons than any other program with ribbon toobar. Not to mention that Rhino supports left mouse click and right mouse click on its icons, along with the ability to hold an icon to open a sub-menu with even more icons. And everything is fully customizable, including ability to draw your own custom icons and write macros.

[@apofis05]

Están mimando mucho a los arquitectos en herramientas para visualizar.

[@aloexkborn]

Rhino still needs to catch up on proper surface modelling/ massaging tools like the ones alias has. Or anything close to the old VSR plugin or proper curvature analysis tools at least. So sad it was taken from rhino and they havent tried to replace it since Rhino 5

[@AutomotiveCNC]

Yeah, NURBS surfacing tools are the most important thing in Rhino, yet they are still far from being competitive even compared to the very old VSR plug-in which came for Rhino 5 many years ago...

[@mohameddawood1720]

The main thing we should focus on is the workflow of Rhino , which is very very old and falling behind , it does not make sense to type every command in the command line to start a command , this is very slow workflow , we should interduce an entire new system based on shortcuts/pie menus for rapid modeling/operating . Lets take a look at blender or plasticity , the workflow of plasticity is 10x times better than rhino even it's a new software , but it's a lot more faster and easier to work , i mean i love Rhino but if the ancient UI/button layout/workflow will stay the same i am afraid i am considering to buy plasticity even it does not have even half of Rhino features , but its developing rapidly and i really like where it's going . i mean don't get me wrong , i really love rhino and it has been a long time for me using it , but now it just feels falling behind other software , i would really appreciate a complete modernization of the software for a better slick UI and workflow , thank you again

[@HowtoRhino]

Yeah, I see your point. At the end of the day, you should look at all of these tools from your point of view and what you're using it for (depending on your industry). Take into account all the features including parametric design with Grasshopper. Rhino + Gh are huge platforms that other developers build on top, so the community is really big, sometimes that is also important. You can voice your opinion on all of these features on Rhino forum as well and talk directly with developers on these issues if you'd like them improved.

[@m4th1a2]

Rip Sketchup

[@lorenzoancilli1340]

Strange you didn't mention sketches. I think that really changes the game, adds the "history" function, a so long requested feature

[@ScottValentine]

I saw this being great for landscape architects. Input their grading then adjust to perfect.

[@HowtoRhino]

Are you refering to this feature? discourse.mcneel.com/t/3d-sketching-in-rhino-check-it-out/134322?page=2 I thought about incuding it, but I don't have any sketching device with a pen to try it out properly :)

[@ScottValentine]

@@HowtoRhino I believe that's it. I personally I didn't know this existed until now.

[@lorenzoancilli1340]

@@HowtoRhino not quite, actually. I was referring to constraints sketches (i.e. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZzRl4Rvf7CpptU)

[@HowtoRhino]

@@lorenzoancilli1340 oh I see, they decided to move constraints feature development for Rhino 9. It's not included in Rhino 8. This was WIP version, but it wasn't ready yet for publishing with Rhino 8

[@rajendrameena150]

Rhino is killing all other software, this is the final destination of me after trying Autocad, 3ds max, sketchup and even 80% revit,rest with rhino.inside. now only one software for all CAD work. Blender for all polygon work. It is masterstroke release.

[@andreasweckemann7347]

... you have to test solidworks ! ... freeform + parametric ! .... it is highend

[@sahilyousaf9265]

Omg, push pull….finally

[@HowtoRhino]

Exactly! :)

fillet in rhino is the most annoying

[@HowtoRhino]

I agree on that one :D It's improved in Rhino 8, but there's still room for improvement in that area for sure

[@AutomotiveCNC]

Fillets are easy if you know how to handle them in a clever way. I agree with you that fillets in Rhino are not as fast as in Solidworks or Catia, but on the other hand Rhino's fillets are more reliable and you can actually do a lot of manual adjustment to them, which is not possible (or not as easy) on the other CAD packages.

[@AutomotiveCNC]

You can check come of my recent videos showing simple tips for doing successful fillets in Rhino.

[@agre757]

@@AutomotiveCNC If there is software that makes things easier for users, why should they use Rhino? give me an explanation. I work on products using Rhino which takes much longer than using software like Palsticity or Fusion 360. Please answer
