OverviewDriving Dimensions for Rhinoceros* is a series of plug-in applications allowing you to add design intent to any 3D model for easy parametric modification of its geometry. Usually changes in one part of the model require intelligent modification of other parts. You can easily specify this behavior with our Driving Dimensions products for Rhino.
Look what Rhinoceros users say about our plug-ins
*Rhinoceros (or Rhino) is a 3D computer-aided design (CAD) application developed by Robert McNeel and Associates. Its interface, features, and commands are familiar to CAD users, and allow them to easily work out complex 3D design problems.

RhinoAssembly, the first Driving Dimensions plug-in for Rhinoceros, is a powerful tool for assembly design and kinematic simulation with capabilities of mainstream mechanical CAD packages. With RhinoAssembly you can easily position your rigid 3D parts with respect to each other by specifying assembly constraints (fixation, concentricity, coincidence, parallelism, perpendicularity, tangency, rigid sets) and driving dimensions (distance and angle) between their faces and edges. RhinoAssembly plug-in automatically satisfies all constraints and dimensions making a consistent assembly from existing parts. An assembled mechanism can then be animated by varying a parameter of one or more of its driving dimensions. Any built-in or plug-in rendering module for Rhino can be used to generate a sequence of image files corresponding to key frames of the animated mechanism. The images can be converted to a movie with one of many free or commercial software packages available on the market. Assembly Manager tool allows easy navigation over all assembly constraints and driving dimensions imposed on geometric elements of a designed model.
RhinoAssembly plug-in is available in the Czech, French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish languages, in addition to the original English. The international versions include translations of the installation wizard, user interface elements, system messages, and all help files.
