"The best drafting tool ever -- unparalleled precision and ease of use"

5/5

What do you like best about Rhinoceros?

The auto-completing command line and the ability to enter exact values of what you want any tool to perform. The way I explain Rhino to other 3D users who don't do CAD is: Rhino is basically an incredibly sophisticated DRAFTING tool: it's not only my favorite 2D drafting tool, but it's the best for hard surface 3D modeling projects as well (or any modeling that will then result in physical prototyping and manufacturing). Rhino has a unique UX due to its command line, and it's very much appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rhinoceros?

For my uses, I've never found a single significant shortcoming that is worth griping about. Really, Rhino is like an old friend.

Better line and fill visualization options would be handy, but I'm still using v5, so maybe 6 or WIP has some of this already. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I've used it for almost everything: prototyping physical parts for 3D printing, injection mold design, graphic design and logo design, creating assets for animations (animated in another program), etc.

Basically, think of any situation where you would "need" to use Adobe Illustrator, and instead use Rhino and be blown away by how much better of an analytic-drafting tool it is than Illustrator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Rhino Is Great!"

5/5

What do you like best about Rhinoceros?

I prefer to use Rhinocerous when designing custom pieces for my architecture and interior design projects. The gumball, blocking, and variety of easy-to-learn commands make it superior to most other software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rhinoceros?

I wish Rhino had better-quality rendering without needing to add a plug-in. Even so, it's great once you combine it with VRay or Enscape. It's complicated to learn, but great once you figure it out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Rhinoceros:

Make sure it is necessary for the type of work you are doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Rhinocerous has helped with a lot of custom fabrication projects. Many of my clients need a better visual representation of the design than a 2D drawing can provide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful + Versatile 3D Modeling Program"

5/5

What do you like best about Rhinoceros?

Rhino has a wide range of applications - it is very versatile. I use it in the architecture industry and for furniture design. It works well when modeling entire cities down to details of the fasteners and joints in furniture. Versatility also comes from plugins such as Grasshopper allow you to explore computational design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rhinoceros?

There is a learning curve to Rhino, as is expected with any sophisticated 3D modeling program. It is extremely powerful; however, you need to know the right commands to get the job done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The must have CAD"

5/5

What do you like best about Rhinoceros?

I love the "free form" aspect of the 3D design I haven't seen in any other CAD. The image quality is BY LIGHT YEARS better than any other CAD, provided you have a half-decent graphics card with enough memory. The limit is the sky, what you can produce in Rhino. You do need to learn, but after a while, it becomes pretty logical how tools work. I took lessons and obtain an Intermediate level certificate. I want to do at some point Advanced too because it is worth it. I use the commercial version for years having Rhino CAM too. Besides the CAM, I used Rhino to design many different parts, including some with surfaces and reverse engineering odd or old parts very succesfuly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rhinoceros?

I'm not sure what is there I dislike? Dark mode?? I'm working many hours in a day with CAD/CAM, and I could use dark or night mode, so my eyeballs don't fall out after a long day on screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Rhinoceros:

CAM, 3D product design, realistic rendering, reverse engineering, scenario simulation, inspection by matching up points measured vs surface given, etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Interestingly you can solve a lot of problems in Rhino because of the capability of the software. The list would be way too long. Look up the user base, and you get the answer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Rhinoceros Review"

4/5

What do you like best about Rhinoceros?

The manipulation of objects such as surfaces and solids from a real-time parametric approach is great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent 3D sketch program, especially if you have autocad background."

4.5/5

What do you like best about Rhinoceros?

Rhino is very quick to sketch out 3D ideas or present quick rendered mockups. I also use it heavily for vector linework layout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rhinoceros?

It's not parametric, so I end up making lots of copies to create "save" points along the modeling process. It can be a little tricky to implement design changes without some technical work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Review about the use of Rhinoceros"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Rhinoceros?

I enjoy working with Rhinoceros as a 3D modelling computer program Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rhinoceros?

Sometimes exporting as a 2D drawing can be time consuming Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Rhinoceros:

I would highly recommend users to start using Rhinoceros. It is a 3D program that allows you to create fast and accurate 3D models. For our discipline (urban design) it works great. I enjoy working with Rhinoceros because it allows to organise the file very well with all the layers options. In terms of support there are many tutorial videos available and also user guides that explain all the functions in detail and therefore there are not any commands that are not easy to understand. I like the fact that you can have floating licenses, for example in our office we have a few licenses and we create and team and can share the purchased licenses. This offers flexibility to the team and is a plus when working in a team with multiple people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am an urban designer and I am using Rhinoceros mainly for volumetric models. I use it to make and volumetric studies of urban plans. I import 2D base drawings from Autocad and then using extruding commands create the 3D model. I calculate the total volume with Rhino, continue building the model and finally exporting the end product. I return to 2D drawing as Autocad or Illustrator or I use Lumion for making renders. I am very satisfied with Rhinoceros as a 3D modelling program. It is accurate in designing, works great with other programs eg Autocad and it has a friendly user interface Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"3d modelling for architectural works"

4/5

What do you like best about Rhinoceros?

It gives the possibility of creating complex geometries which are difficult to achieve with other softwares.

The 3d visualisation styles are very good and perfect for sharing with the design team and clients, without the need of complex and time consuming renderings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rhinoceros?

The compatibility with other softwares could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
