Rhinoceros 8

One of the most interesting and highly touted features in is the ShrinkWrap tool. The "ShrinkWrap" Tool

Whether you’re in architecture, industrial design, or jewelry, these updates streamline the bridge between creative ideas and production-ready models. Rhinoceros 8

  • Clipping Enhancements: You can now select geometry behind other objects more easily, and clipping planes are more intuitive.
  • Named Selections: Save and recall selection sets easily for complex scenes.
  • Gumball Improvements: The Gumball (the move/scale/rotate widget) has been refined to be less intrusive and more functional.
  • Better DWG/DXF Support: For architects working between Rhino and AutoCAD, the import/export engine has been rewritten for higher fidelity.
  1. You do a lot of 3D scanning and reverse engineering (ShrinkWrap alone justifies the cost).
  2. You are tired of slow viewports on large assembly files.
  3. You want Cycles rendering inside your CAD package.
  4. You use Grasshopper daily (GH2 is a game-changer).
  5. You are on Rhino 6 or older (Skip Rhino 7 and go straight to 8).
