Workshop Navigation
Santa Caterina Market by Miralles – Rhino Lvl 1
This course is for anyone new to Rhino 6. In this training course you will learn to create and edit accurate free form 3d NURBS models. This fast-moving class covers most of Rhino’s functionality, including the most advanced surfacing commands. You will systematically move through the user interface, command access, creation and editing of curves, surfaces and solids.
The course is intensive (16hrs) and spans two consecutive days (10:00 to 18:00). Each trainee receives the official 260 page courseware as part of attending this course.
Recognized as an official introductory course, all trainees receive an Official McNeel Rhino level 1 Certificate upon completion.
Case Study
At decode™ effective training is achieved via an intriguing goal by contrast of generic exercises. All the Rhino level 1 teaching material will be taught by modeling a simplified version of the iconic “Santa Caterina Market”. The marketplace that Enric Miralles and Benedetta Tagliabue has built in Barcelona, Spain, stands as an outstanding example of free-form expressive design that stays in discoursive dalogue with the more traditional elements of the surrounding area.
In a step by step modeling method, each student will be guided through the experience of completing a challenging and interesting design project, and managing to use commands in synergy for the completion of this elaborate design endeavor, in a professional manner. While working on this case study, the modeling steps of the following concepts will be covered:
- Get acquainted with the Rhino screen and menus
- Navigate around the Rhino model
- Create 2-D lines, polylines, and NURBS curves
- Modelling set-up and mode functions: snap, ortho and planar constraints
- Object snaps and Smart Track
- Fast 3-D solids and surfaces
- The Rhino layering system
Precision Modelling
Use co-ordinates and constraints to model easily and accurately. Move off the x-y plane and use viewports to establish the current construction plane. Draw polygons and ellipses. Use free-form curves and compare interpolated and control points curves.
Draw with absolute, relative rectangular, and polar co-ordinates
Distance and angle constraints
Viewports and construction planes
Model in 3-D space
Elevator mode
Rectangle command and its options
Point selection with object snaps
Analysis commands: length, distance, angle, radius
Draw circles and arcs
Draw ellipses and polygon curves
Model free-form curves
Create helix and spiral curves
Intermediate Edit and Surfacing Commands
Learn additional editing commands and use them to build practice models. Reinforce concepts of model set-up and drawing accurate 2-D geometry to build precision 3-D shapes
Introduction to NURBS modelling concepts and terminology
Free-form curves
Control point editing of curves and surfaces
Rebuild curves and surfaces
Create deformable shapes
Curve creation through projection
Split surfaces with curves and surfaces
Blend between two surfaces
Make 2D drawings from 3D Objects
Advanced Surfacing and Solids
Model with solids and solid text. Use Boolean tools to shape your model. Extrude, loft, and revolve curves into surfaces. Use sweeps to create additional surfaces. Use advanced surfacing techniques like blend, match, and surface from network of curves.
Create model primitives and solid text
Model with pipe and extrude
Modifying solids with Boolean Tools
Surface properties and UV analysis
Extrude and loft surfaces
Revolve curves into surfaces
Sweep 1 and 2 rail curves
Surface with network of curves
