2242 Rhino 3D models available for download in Rhino 3D (.3dm) file format. Free 3dm 3d models are ready for render, animation, 3d printing, game or ar. The reason for this is that Rhinoceros reads and writes many file formats. Therefore it is also commonly used as modeller for CFD, FEM and other analysis tools. At last, Rhinoceros is an ideal modeller for 3D printing and other numerical manufacturing techniques. Plugins add extra functionality to Rhinoceros.

Rhinoceros (typically abbreviated Rhino or Rhino3D) is a commercial3D computer graphics and computer-aided design (CAD) application software developed by Robert McNeel & Associates, an American, privately held, employee-owned company founded in 1980. Rhinoceros geometry is based on the NURBS mathematical model, which focuses on producing mathematically precise representation of curves and freeform surfaces in computer graphics (as opposed to polygon mesh-based applications).

Rhinoceros is used in processes of computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), rapid prototyping, 3D printing and reverse engineering in industries including architecture, industrial design (e.g. automotive design, watercraft design), product design (e.g. jewelry design) as well as for multimedia and graphic design.^[2]

Rhinoceros is developed for the Microsoft Windows operating system and macOS. A visual scripting language add-on for Rhino, Grasshopper, is developed by Robert McNeel & Associates.

Overview[edit]

Characteristics[edit]

Rhinoceros is primarily a freeform surface modeler that utilizes the NURBS mathematical model. Rhinoceros's application architecture and open SDK make it modular and enable the user to customize the interface and create custom commands and menus. There are dozens of plug-ins available from both McNeel and other software companies that complement and expand Rhinoceros's capabilities in specific fields, such as rendering and animation, architecture, marine, jewelry, engineering, prototyping, and others.^[3]

File format[edit]

The Rhinoceros file format (.3DM) is useful for the exchange of NURBS geometry. The Rhino developers started the openNURBS Initiative to provide computer graphics software developers the tools to accurately transfer 3-D geometry between applications. An open-source toolkit, openNURBS includes the 3DM file format specification, documentation, C++ source code libraries and .NET 2.0 assemblies to read and write the file format on supported platforms – Windows, Windows x64, Mac, and Linux.

Compatibility[edit]

Rhinoceros offers compatibility with other software as it supports over 30 CAD file formats for importing and exporting.^[4]

The following CAD and image file formats are natively supported (without the use of external plug-ins):

• DWG/DXF (AutoCAD 200x, 14, 13, and 12)
• SolidWorks SLDPRT and SLDASM
• SAT (ACIS, export only)

• RIB
• UDO
• CSV (export properties and hydrostatics)

The following CAD file formats are supported with use of external plug-ins:^[5]

• CGR

When opening CAD file formats not in its native .3dm file format, Rhinoceros will convert the geometry into its native format; when importing a CAD file, the geometry is added to the current file.

When Autodesk AutoCAD's file format changes (see DWG file format for more information), the Open Design Alliance reverse engineers the file format to allow these files to be loaded by other vendors' software. Rhinoceros's import and export modules are actually plug-ins, so they can be easily updated via a service release. Rhinoceros Service Releases (SR) are frequent and freely downloadable. Rhinoceros 5 SR10 can import and export DWG/DXF file formats up to version 2014.

Rhinoceros is also compatible with a number of graphic design-based programs. Among them is Adobe Illustrator. Melodyne for mac plugins. This method is best when working with a vector-based file. The user starts by saving the file, then, when prompted, saves as Adobe Illustrator (*ai). From there, the user can control the vectors created in Rhinoceros, which can be enhanced further in Adobe Illustrator.

3D printing[edit]

Rhinoceros 3D relies on a few plug-ins that facilitate 3D printing ^[6][7] and allows the export of .STL and .OBJ file formats, both of which are supported by numerous 3D printers and 3D printing services.

Scripting and programming[edit]

Rhinoceros supports two scripting languages, Rhinoscript (based on VBScript) and Python (V5.0+ and Mac). It also has an SDK and a complete plug-in system. One McNeel plug-in, a parametric modeling/visual programming tool called Grasshopper, has attracted many architects to Rhinoceros due to its ease of use and ability to create complex algorithmic structures.^[8]

2. Click on the desired team.
3. Click on the Action button at the bottom of the page.
4. Click Invite Members.
5. Choose the Language the invites will be sent in.
6. Type or paste the email addresses of the invitees.
7. Review the email addresses the invites will be sent to.
8. Click Send.

Remove Team Members

To remove team members from a team:

1. Go to the Teams page.
2. Click on the desired team.

To modify a team member's role:

1. Go to the Teams page.
2. Click on the desired team.
3. Click on the user whose role is to be modified.
4. Select the appropriate role for the user.
5. Click Save.

Link Team to a Domain

Linking a Rhino Accounts team to a domain is useful in large or complex organizations.

What happens when a Rhino Accounts team is linked to a domain?

1. Any existing users who have any email address associated with the domain will be given an ultimatum the next time they login. they can either:
   • Join the team, drop any email addresses not related to the domain, and adopt the team’s login method.
   • Relinquish any email addresses associated with the domain and decline joining the team.
2. Any new users who try to login using an email address associated with the domain will have a Rhino account transparently created for them the first time they successfully login using the team's login method. They will also be added to the team without the need for an invite.
3. If new users try to login or create an account using a different login method, they will be guided to login using the team's login method.
4. New or existing accounts that have an email address associated with the domain may not add other email addresses or linked accounts, and their linked account must match the team’s login policy.

Why link a team to a domain?

1. Users who have email addresses associated with the domain will be added to the team without the need to create an account and explicitly accept an invitation.
2. IT administrators can use their own user management tools such as onelogin, Azure Active Directory, Google for Work etc… to manage team members. For example, an administrator can create an Active Directory group that contains the only members who are allowed to login to Rhino Accounts. Similarly, removing a user from that group effectively restricts that user from using their Rhino account.
