Jewellery Design in Rhino

Explore Rhino's interface, including the menubar, common area and command prompts, toolbars, and side panels. Manage layers and view objects across four viewports with construction planes and snapping tools.

Learn to navigate Rhino viewports, rotate and pan the scene, zoom with the mouse, and manage perspective and shading while creating and positioning objects like a box.

Create and manage layers in Rhino by naming layers, setting the active layer, changing colors, toggling visibility, locking, and moving objects between layers before saving the project.

Master object snap in Rhino to draw precise lines and shapes by snapping to end, middle, center and other points, toggle snaps on/off, and create circles and polygons accurately.

Master the Gumball tool in Rhino to move, rotate, and scale objects using axis handles on x, y, and z. Switch to perspective shading and undo edits.

Discover how to view, edit, and create templates in Rhino, set default units to millimeters, customize layers and colors, and save new templates for quick access.

Discover how to customize and edit Rhino options, adjust document properties and units, set milimeter absolute tolerance, and restore defaults to ensure consistent viewport behavior across projects.

Learn to rotate and copy objects with a pool camera in Rhino, trim overlaps, then build a closed arc and circle with offsets and tangency to form a solid object.

Create a ring rail and cross-section in Rhino by setting up four views, drawing lines with snap constraints, and defining endpoints to form a complete section.

Design a flush setting cutter from scratch in Rhino by creating grooves, centers, and a lofted surface to hold the gemstone, then cap and finalize with solid tools.

Scale the gems to two millimeters, measure the size, and align the gem table with the ring surface. Group and position four stones around the ring using transform tools.

Master boolean operations in Rhino, including union and difference, to combine and cut surfaces, adjust ring thickness, and create precise jewelry models.

Create and edit curves in Rhino using control points and undo to shape jewellery designs. Use tangency options, blend and join tools to refine curves into a cohesive pattern.

Select the first object, extrude 0.6 millimeters on each side to form the ends, disable the background layer to view the middle part of the Penda and interconnect at 1.2.

Create the butterfly's body in Rhino by defining the center trace, axes, and ellipse, then shape with cage edits, scaling, and a 0.6 millimeter thickness.

Create jump rings and related components in Rhino, adjusting diameters and inner pipes to refine the design. Mirror parts to the opposite side and fine-tune placements for symmetry.

Learn to create a prong (claw) setting in Rhino by building a gallery around the pavilion, adding multiple prongs, and shaping a secure, dome-topped setting for a 2 mm gemstone.

Learn to design a channel setting for an eternity band in Rhino, placing princess-cut stones between walls, with precise diameter, wall thickness, and even spacing.

Create the claw setting head in Rhino by importing a 6 mm round stone and arranging four claws with 45 degree rotations for balanced, secure settings.

Learn to design a signet ring in Rhino by using nets to build a surface from crossing curves, as an introductory guide to jewellery design.

Create and refine jewelry curves in Rhino by setting up layers, drawing circles with specific diameters, and using the gumball to position points, then adjust with control points and mirror.

Learn to connect two curves with a straight line, blend their ends, adjust control points and degrees, rebuild curves, and prepare for net for surface creation with caps in Rhino.

Cap the surface, duplicate it, and use boolean difference to subtract a cylinder, creating a solid shank; then apply shell and offset to reduce weight and adjust thickness.

Create the bottom part of the shank in Rhino by building and joining surfaces, ensuring a closed, watertight hollow, and adjust wall thickness and cutter offset for casting and finishing.
