Learn Technical Drawings in Rhino 3D using Layouts

About this course

In this course you will learn how to extract technical drawings from 3D models in Rhinoceros 3D. Technical drawings are essential for communicating ideas in industry, design and engineering. You will learn here how to adjust scale, dimensions, descriptions, lineweights and linetypes - all of it to present 3D models in an understandable way. I have been working with Rhinoceros 3D for over 18 years, using it as the main tool for design and fabrication in various fields and scales, and I aim to show you fast and easy ways to learn its functionality.Content of the course:Firstly, we will create a 3D model of a bottle. Then you will get to know how to use Layouts in Rhino and extract different 2D drawings: plans, sections, elevations and perspective views. Secondly, we will subdivide the 3D model into smaller parts and extract from it cutaway sections and exploded-view drawings. These drawings are very useful to explain more complex three-dimensional objects, thus used a lot in architecture and design fields.Whether you're an architect, designer, engineer or a hobbyist, you will learn here very useful skills of generating 2D drawings to clearly communicate your ideas. My tutorials are done with v5 version, but you can follow them without problems if you use higher versions such as v6 or v7. Thanks for your attention!
