Handy Filter Tool

9/16/2019

0 Comments

 
Do you know about the Filter tool?  Located in the Status Bar, on the lower part of the Rhino interface, this tool is a lifesaver for singling out different types of objects.  This short video is a demo of the filter tool and was cut from the current class first session.  

I start classes with an introduction to the Rhino interface and build skills from there!  Knowing how to navigate the interface is the foundation.

Grasshopper millgrain tool

Here is a fun tool originally shown to me by Ralph Schroeter who is the owner of a Facebook group, Rhino Grasshopper Definition and Info Exchange - Jewelry Related GH code .
​Ralph was kind enough to share the tutorial for this GH file on his page and I've found it extremely useful in having a visual way to size and scale millgrain to perfection!  When you get on his page, tell 'em we sent ya!  :)

NOTE:  My video capture software did not capture the pop-up dialog boxes in this video, refer to the picture above to see what the BlendSrf dialog box looks like.

I had only 6 minutes left in a recent class but had promised my students that I would show them how to make a quick custom ring.  Well, I blew the deadline by 2 minutes...   (And I probably spent 3 minutes in explaining as I went along but I won't mention that.)   :)   ​
