New lighting features ... in Rhino 7

With light falloff, Rhino 7 introduces new light falloff types, such as Linear and Inverse Squared. These features decrease the light's intensity as it travels through the scene, closely mimicking how lights behave in the real world.

Check out light fallout in this one-minute video.

Check out Block Attributes in Rhino 7

 

Have you tried Block Attributes? Save time by making your blocks smart with Attributes.

Attributes attach data to blocks. Configure Attributes to store a part number, cost, location, color, material, or other details about the inserted block. When you insert a block with attributes, the attribute value is updated and stored with each block instance.

Change Attributes at any time from the Properties panel.

Attribute information extracted from a model can be imported into a spreadsheet to produce reports, schedules, or a bill of materials.

Grasshopper Component Placeholders

Have you ever opened a Grasshopper definition that contained missing dependencies? The new Rhino 7 feature, Grasshopper Components Placeholders, can help.

This new feature lets you know where those missing components belong in the definition and keep their connections.

Grasshopper Components Placeholders is often useful when updating older definitions. Once the definition is open, you can find and replace them with the correct components.

Clash detection, new in Rhino 7

Clash is a Grasshopper component that searches a large number of objects and finds the intersection points of objects that touch each other. Clash lets you quickly detect and eliminate collisions in complex models, particularly useful in architecture, engineering, and construction.

Use text fields to keep your documents current

 

Have you tried Enhanced Text Fields?

Keep your design documentation current by using text fields. Text fields can be used in title blocks, annotation objects, and notes that update automatically as your design changes, preventing errors in large drawing sets. Text fields automatically update, ensuring that design changes are always accurately captured. 

Rhino 7 features 6 improved text fields and introduces 11 new text fields. In addition, in Rhino 7, annotated blocks allow you to reuse your content on different layouts and across all your projects.
