Rhino Review

Rhino is a 3D drawing software that can be used as an additional drawing tool when combined with other design, CAM, drafting, rendering, illustration, and animation programs. It preserves the accuracy and complexity of engineering software designs, meaning it can also be used for in-depth, precise analysis.
Rhino enables users to create organic shapes with high accuracy and editability through SubD geometry types. Users can simultaneously move multiple planes, edges, lines, and vectors with millimeter precision and return them to position as needed. Designs can be transformed using meshes, curves, BlendEdge, and Boolean operations. Built-in compatibility means plans from other software can be loaded into this tool without losing form integrity or designated scale.
