Thanks David, I'm glad they're helpful. If you have suggestions on what types of modeling tools to cover in future tutorials please let us know.

Cheers,

This is a great tutorial. Short and to the point, but very clear. It explains a lot that I have been struggling with as a new Rhino user. Other modeling tools that I would like more info on are how to draw cross sections over an imported picture. I'm trying to model a swim fin which needs an accurate foot pocket shape. Can you help?

Brian James said...

Hi Glen,
Can you give me some more details about what your trying to do with the swim fin? You can email me directly with any images or models...

Hi Brian,

Could you explain how you adjusted the appearance of your control points? They're much larger and easier to see in your video. Any help is appreciated!

PS - the videos are extremely helpful, thanks.

Hi Eric,
You can change the way the ctrl pts look through: Options>Rhino Options>Appearance>[the display mode you'd like to effect]>Objects

Then there's a field for control point size. I used 6 for the video tutorial and also had Anti-Aliasing on in the settings for the graphics card. This is what made them look round.
