The program will draw lines between assigned points and fill in areas between them.

You can also draw lines between two points then 'drag' a curve by moving the mouse.

 

So it's like vector drawing ?

Its a huge program, and difficult to describe in a sentence or two, but very roughly, with a side view, you import the drawing into your 3D program (Rhino in this case) and assign it to the 'X' axis, then you can start marking reference points on it. The program will draw lines between assigned points and fill in areas between them. You can also draw lines between two points then 'drag' a curve by moving the mouse. You can also 'group' reference points and move them together or assign behaviours to them.

To make a 3D object from the drawing, you need to have points on the 'X' and the 'Y' axis joined up. I dont know if that makes sense- like I say, its difficult to describe in a few sentences!

Ok, thanks for the head's up.  :-) I'm trying to create a 3d print for a kit I wish to convert. ;-)

Great stuff.  My apologies for adding to the confusion.  I thought he was doing a Rex.

Best way to understand what Rhino does, is download it and give it a try!!

90 days full use, then it won't save. There are other CAD programs out ther, so it itsn't the only option, and there are severe differences in how they work (parametric or non-parametric) but with a bit of application and effort, anyone can use them.

 

Go on then, what are you waiting for??!!  DOWNLOAD! NOW!!!

Yes, pretty much, just in 3 axis (x,y & z).
