Someone explain to me how you would create a wooden dinner plate.I,m thinking that you would draw two circles at different z-levels and join them,then cap the bottom.I don,t think it,s that easy,but is my thinking going in the right direction,cheers

Draw 1/2 the profile and revolve it.

Here is an example of what Ger was talking about. Pick the red profile, and type revolve. You will be prompted to pick the axis of rotation. Pick either open end for the first and the other for the second and the default should pop up showing a 360 revolve. Enter and you will have a plate.

Thanks mike but could not open the zip file.

That was simple cool...what other tricks ya got.

Hi Cr......if you want someone with Rhino tricks you need to get DanB on here. If there is Rhinospurt he's it! I am still learning Rhino but I do really like the program. I'm hoping V4 has some features that will help take some time off my design work............of course if I actually knew what I was doing would take that time off too!

If you haven't been to the Rhino user's group, go there and take a look at the Rhino wiki as well. Lots and lots of good info and help.

thanks Mike, I'll do that.
I'm just now getting my toes damp on this 3d stuff.
Since the release of Cut3d I have shown more of a interest in Rhino.
I've done the tuturials and the software is amazing.

Ok here is my plate,ya I know been a long time .The more I play with this software the more I like it.The holes were made by adding four solid spheres and doing a booleen subtract,just messing around realy but I find I learn alot this way,cheers.

Thanks Pointcloud nice site. I have a ? for all or anyone and here it goes. Lofting and how to use it and when to use it to best suit the need.I kinda played with it a little but was not sure about it. I drew a shape added a surface to the shape and tried lofting on the shape and on the surface ,but gaining nothing without intention. Anyone wanna give an example , Please,cheers.

left to right.

jug is revolve
cd is loft
swept surface is sweep 2 rails.. blue lines are rails and green are cross sections.
last surface is sweep one rail blus is rail. green is cross section.

I hope this helps... You will have to play with the settings and deformable priperties to get the results you desire..

If you are doing something and need help with a surface post it here and maybe I can getcha through it. and save learning time

Great to see other Rhino users. I started with Rhino about 4 years ago when I mostly used it for 3D graphics. Now I use it for CAD/CAM with RhinoCAM and simply love the setup.

Attached is one of the models that I am most proud of that was modeled completely in Rhino.

There is more on my website at www.netsoft2k.com
