Setting a New Drawing Plane Rhino

Rhino drafting and printing (avoid using Illustrator except for a background tone):

Line weight

In the LAYERS console use the "Print Width" to the far right. Set your widths by layer, like AutoCad. Set the "Linetype" by layer similar AutoCad.  I add a layer for DWG-Edges, DWG-Dashed and DWG-Centerlines and set their line type and weight. Annotation that print width volition not show in model space.

Clipping planes

To make a clipping plane, use the "clipping plane" command. Draw the plane where you want to cut your plan or department. Select the clipping plane you drew and cheque all boxes nether the Backdrop sidebar > Clipping Plane > Views Clipped. If the clipping plane is hiding all geometry, information technology may be backward. Click "flip direction" in the backdrop menu if this is the case.

Notation that clipping planes will orient toward Tiptop view by default. To create a rotated clipping aeroplane for sections, either rotate an existing clipping airplane using Gumball controls, or select the "3Point" option on the command line after yous type "clipping plane". This volition let you to draw a clipping plane in three axes.

Plans and sections

• Activate the correct viewport by clicking in it. The correct viewport is TOP for plans, and LEFT/Correct/Forepart/Back for sections.
• Make a layer called "DRAWING" and sublayers such as "VISIBLE" and "CLIPPING Plane".

• Select geometry and clipping airplane within the right viewport then type control "Make2D".
• In the Make2D options, check "Current View". Select the layers for Make2D objects. Information technology is important to select the "CLIPPING Aeroplane" layer for visible clipping planes.

• Make2D geometry volition exist oriented to Elevation view, so look in that viewport for the second drawings. Drawings will always appear at the origin (0,0,0), merely you may move them.
• If you lot hibernate the "VISIBLE" layer, the geometry cut through past the clipping aeroplane will show on the "CLIPPING PLANE" layer.

Drafting Tools

Use Trim, Extend, fillet (Radius change to 0). Read command line for prompts and options.

Dimension Lines

Blazon "Options" and then Document Properties then Note then Dimensions and so you can make and edit dimensions styles. To make dimension lines employ the 'Aligned dimensions' in the Drafting tab at the peak. I suggest calculation dimensions in the model space for at present and adjusting the scale in dimension styles for layout views.

Labeling

Create a layer called "Notes", or something similar. Y'all tin characterization your drawings "plan", "section", or anything else past using the TEXT command on the Notes layer.

Layouts

(Similar to Paper Space in AutoCad)  Below where you lot see your viewports (y'all should see Forepart, Right, Top) click the plus "+" symbol to make a new viewport. Click New Layout. Set your printer and newspaper size and rename the layout. Click "Ok." Select the outer rectangle, click on the Properties panel, then the icon to the right chosen Particular. This will let you lot to prepare the scale in the "feet in model." You can also check Locked to not accidentally change the scale. Back in the cartoon you lot can double click inside the rectangle to switch to modelspace to zoom and pan. Click outside the rectangle to go to Paperspace. then select the viewport rectangle so become to the Properties panel again, Item icon and reset the Scale one more than time if necessary. Nosotros tend to use https://wiki.mcneel.com/rhino/layouts5   for Rhinoceros drafting assist.

Impress

(PDFs) Ready the printer to your PDF driver. Check  "Black and White." And then click Print.  You have a black and white drawing with line weights and line types. Avoid Illustrator if yous need to do elementary, measured program and section drawings.
