"3D Concept Tool"

4/5

What do you like best about Rhinoceros?

The best quality of Rhino is that it is a relatively intuitive software that allows you to quickly create concepts in 3D space. It is most useful for the conceptual phase of design, allowing the user to create iterative design and illustration. Parametric modeling is Rhino's strength, and the ability to quickly and easily adjust parameters within your model is a valuable tool. The ability to take hand sketches into the 3D world and share designs with other teams in this way is incredibly useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rhinoceros?

Rhino is somewhat lacking in the exactness and precision available in other 3D tools such as Revit. There are better options on the market for creating a true-to-life 3D representation, such as for modeling architectural plans. However, when used for concepts and illustrative renderings that do not need to be built to scale, Rhino is my preferred 3D tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Rhinoceros:

I would recommend looking at a combination of Rhino and Revit for different modeling needs, and looking deeper into interfaces that allow you to link your models between the two programs. I tend to think of Rhino as the "Creative 3D" software, and Revit as the "Exact 3D" software, and I get the most use out of the combination of the two. I would also recommend learning Grasshopper in conjunction with Rhino.

As with most software at this level, there is a bit of a learning curve if you are trying to create complex models. However, it is easy to pick up on the most commonly used tools, especially if you have time to watch tutorials and instructional content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Rhinoceros solving and how is that benefiting you?

I enjoy using Rhino to share concepts and ideas with others across my organization. Rhino is a widely utilized software and is compatible with multiple other programs and platforms. Rhino is also my preferred software to use to create 3D printed items for personal use. It is relatively easy to create STL files to send to a 3D printer, enabling you to print your designs at home.

"Rhino is the end all be all for 3D"

5/5

What do you like best about Rhinoceros?

I love how using Rhino we can see our products in a 3D form. Within Rhino you can 3D model for manufacturing and real-world problems. We use rhino to create 3D shoe lasts where we then get precise measurements and quality assurance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rhinoceros?

There isn't anything that I really dislike about rhino. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Design Development Software for Architects"

5/5

What do you like best about Rhinoceros?

Rhino is the most powerful and handy software for architects to develop their designs. It is easy to navigate and create designs that meet every designer's needs. It also has powerful adding analysis programs in its built-in grasshopper which is super useful for analyzing sun and shadow paths. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rhinoceros?

The software may be too powerful and have too many functions built into it, which sometimes make it uneasy to find which function to use to produce the intended product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Rhinoceros:

Best software to develop your design! It's the most powerful and most user-friendly software for architects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Rhinoceros solving and how is that benefiting you?

Architectural designs. It's the easiest and most powerful software to create different forms and various shapes. It's also a powerful tool to produce 2D line drawings. The make 2D function is one of the best functions that I use all the time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best for CAD Modeling"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Rhinoceros?

Rhino is extremely simple to use and has exact measurements. We can design anything and everything on Rhino, from jewelry to automobile parts. The distances are very accurate, and the files are 3D printable, which makes them very useful. The interface is easy to use and doesn't require much strain on the eyes. We can create custom shortcuts and commands. It can import almost all types of files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rhinoceros?

Rhino does not allow much freedom. We have to perform all the tasks manually, and there are no shortcuts. It does have a save history command, but it is sometimes not very useful. It does not perform well on meshes. If we have an STL file as input, we have to spend a lot of time converting that STL into a surface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Rhinoceros:

There will be a steep learning curve while using rhino, but once you are acquainted with the commands, it can do wonders, and you will be delighted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Rhinoceros solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use rhino for CAD modeling and design or surgical guides. Rhino has always given us exact results that much other software cannot provide. The best feature of Rhino is that we don't need to know where the command or tool is. We can type whatever command we want to, and it will happen. Also, we can left-click if we're going to go to the previous order. Also, there are custom screens options, and the rendering and visibility of the objects are charming.

"Best for product design and 3d printing."

4.5/5

What do you like best about Rhinoceros?

Rhinoceros is one of the best software among CAD softwares. Best to create designs of the products and also can used for the 3d printing and rapid prototyping purposes. Accurate dimensioning is also possible through rhinoceros software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rhinoceros?

No issues are faced. Better to improve the interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for Conceptual Projects"

4/5

What do you like best about Rhinoceros?

I like that rhino is command-based and will even help populate commands as you start to type them. Rhino will walk you through multi-step commands, which can be particularly useful for complex actions. Rhino lets users be free to explore a concept without having all of the concrete details thought out yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rhinoceros?

While Rhino is great for conceptual design, it is not so great for taking that concept into reality. Rhino makes it difficult to design something that is reality-proof because it allows you to do complex physics that wouldn't work once you construct a design in real life. The buck stops with Rhino once your design is ready to become more concrete, and at that point, you will need to move on to another program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Rhinoceros:

Rhino is powerful and fun--but make sure it fits your needs. If you are looking for a program that can take you all the way from concept to finished product, consider looking elsewhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Rhinoceros solving and how is that benefiting you?

Rhino is great for massing and concept exploration. It allows way more freedom of exploration than programs in the Autodesk family of software, which require more concrete details in order to work. Rhino is quick to use and allows for a multitude of viewing options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rhinoceros?

My main qualm with Rhino is the learning curve necessary to model efficiently and accurately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Rhinoceros:

Rhino requires some use to get used to and learn the commands. However, its capabilities make it the most versatile 3D modeling software I have used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Rhinoceros solving and how is that benefiting you?

Rhino allows me to accurately model architectural designs in order to communicate design intent and construction details. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
