Using Rhino like SketchUp - Video Tutorial Series from Simply Rhino.
Our free video trilogy, where we look at how to use Rhino like SketchUp, is delivered by Simply Rhino's senior Rhino3D trainer, Phil Cook. It is ideal for Architects, as our focus is an architectural model, but other SketchUp users looking to add Rhino to their workflow will also find much of use.
The first video focuses on the Push/Pull editing method in SketchUp and how this can be reproduced in Rhino. We look at how Rhino, despite being perhaps best known in the world of architecture for the creation and development of challenging and complex geometry, can also be the ideal software for smaller and owner-operated architectural practices currently using AutoCAD LT for 2D work and SketchUp for 3D modelling.
The second video in this series looks at Solid Modelling Tools for Architecture and we pick up where we left off in the first video with the massing study we created in that first tutorial. This time Phil shows us how to add detail to our Rhino model and we are introduced to some of Rhino's solid modelling tools. To finish this tutorial Phil shows us how to set construction planes (C-Planes) and how to create and save a Named View.
The third and final video in this trilogy is Rhino 8 for SketchUp Users - New and Improved Solid Modelling Tools. This is another beginners level Rhino tutorial and in it we feature some tools which are entirely new to Rhino 8 and some which have been improved in this latest version of Rhino software.
