What is the added value of RhinoWorks for Rhino users?
With RhinoWorks users can quickly change their 3D models by specifying desired dimensional and geometric constraints on the basic elements: faces, edges and vertices. In particular, users can:
- change any dimension in their solids, be it distance between faces, edges and vertices, angle between two faces or edges, radii of cylinders, spheres, tori, holes, fillets,
- set a geometric relationship that should always hold in a model: parallel or perpendicular faces and edges, tangent faces, concentric holes, etc.,
- assemble any mechanism from existing parts,
- test different positions by editing values of driving dimensions,
- simulate the motion of parts (or changing their geometric shapes) by animating the changes of driving dimension values.
Where can I buy it?
You can buy RhinoWorks in the share-it online store (accesible from the Store page on our website) or contact one of the resellers of our plug-in in your country. See the list of resellers on this page.
We provide several kind of licenses: commercial single user, educational or a lab kit.
May I try it before buy?
A 30-day evaluation version of RhinoWorks is available for all at no charge - you can freely download and install it on your computer (by accepting our end user license agreement).
What do I need to run RhinoWorks?
You need a personal computer with Windows XP/Vista/7 and Rhino 4 SP5B or later installed on it. If you do not have Rhino, you can download a fully functional evaluation copy here.
How can I install RhinoWorks on my computer?
Download the .exe installer from our download section. Run this installer and follow the instructions.
How can I uninstall RhinoWorks?
In Windows Start menu select Programs/LEDAS RhinoWorks/Uninstall RhinoAssembly. Also the plug-in can be uninstalled via Start/Settings/Control Panel/Add or Remove Programs. Select LEDAS RhinoWorks there and click Remove .
Does RhinoWorks run on Mac?
No, since there Rhino itself it not available on Mac commercially.
Does in compatible with Rhino 5?
We have tested it with Rhino 5 32-bit, but we do not guarantee the full compatibility till Rhino 5 will be released commercially.
Where can I learn more about building my models with RhinoWorks?
Depending on your learning style, you can read the online help, watch the video tutorials, or explore the function examples to learn from sample working Driving Dimensions. You are also welcome to post your questions to the user forums.
We also recommend everyone to read our white paper How to Express Design Intent in Rhino 3D. Part I. Assembly Design and Kinematic Simulation
