Ceramic Craft and Digital Fabrication at Hotel Thompson Sevilla

A 50 m² ceramic lattice for Hotel Thompson Sevilla uses Rhino and Grasshopper to connect image-based geometry mapping, custom G-code generation, clay 3D printing, and a carefully coordinated on-site assembly process.

Shape the Land: Terrain Modeling & Grading with RhinoLands

See how to generate 3D terrain from contours and points, reshape topography, create grading operations for platforms, paths and roads, control slopes and elevations, and calculate cut-and-fill volumes directly from the model with this free RhinoLands webinar.

Continuous Curves, Rotating Forms: A New Approach to Ceramic Printing

What if clay 3D printing could move beyond stacked layers? Mark Meier’s experimental rotary-axis process combines Rhino, Grasshopper, Python, and robotic fabrication to draw continuous ceramic patterns directly onto rotating 3D forms, creating remarkably light and intricate structures.

New plugin - SmartMenu brings commands closer in Rhino 8

Discover SmartMenu – a configurable, cursor-centred command interface for Rhino 8.

Rhino offers a vast range of tools, but frequently moving between the model, toolbars and command line can interrupt your workflow. As custom commands and macros accumulate, keeping everything organised can also become a challenge.

Developed by CAD Projects, SmartMenu keeps your most-used tools close to the cursor. Middle-click within a Rhino viewport to open a compact menu containing native Rhino commands and custom macros, organised into colour-coded groups. Create favourites and switch between task-specific menus to suit different stages of your work.

SmartMenu also includes a context-aware command HUD. When an active Rhino command presents options, the HUD displays them directly inside the viewport, helping reduce cursor travel and keeping your attention on the model.

Menu layouts, groups, colours, tooltips and HUD appearance can all be customised. Complete setups can also be backed up and transferred between computers, making it easy to maintain a consistent workspace.

SmartMenu is designed for architects, designers, engineers, fabricators and anyone looking for a faster, more adaptable way to work in Rhino.

Available for Rhino 8 on Windows. Developed by CAD Projects Australia.
