Welcome to the RhinoParametrics World !
Parametric & Associative design integrated in RHINO

RhinoParametrics is the latest fruit of a multi-year research & development effort. RhinoParametrics transparently embeds truly parametric and associative functionality in any Rhino object, but in addition also offers an even more extensive set of parametric object creation functions. RhinoParametrics commands reside in a single toolbar, the button icons of which match Rhino's, to provide an intuitive graphical interface. RhinoParametrics is based on a core parametric modelling engine, essential requirement for any iterative design process. In this environment, all geometry generation operations (create points, curves, surfaces, or volumes) and all geometry transformations (move, copy, rotate, mirror, etc.) are parametric objects themselves, their own defining parameters being numerical values and/or other parametric objects.

  • FULLY INTEGRATED IN RHINO
  • 75+ PARAMETRIC OBJECTS
  • 140+ CREATION METHODS
  • FULLY PARAMETRIC & ASSOCIATIVE
  • ERGONOMIC
  • INTUITIVE
  • ON-THE-FLY CONVERSION OF RHINO OBEJCTS NOT PARAMETRIC OBJECTS
  • CONTINUE WORKING AS ALWAYS
  • ACT ON SELECTED SUBSETS, OR EVEN ON THE FULL MODEL
  • INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY
