AutoCAD then became a 3D program, and Autodesk also has lots of 3D programs today. That made it very friendly to AutoCAD users. It has a command line interface where you can type the name of the command. Anybody who was familiar and experienced with AutoCAD was very much at home using Rhinoceros. When Rhino was created, they followed that same command format. Auto CAD has names of commands with conventions where you create 2D geometry. I learned it in an architectural firm that I worked at part-time during high school. AutoCAD started as a 2D program to replace drafting on a board for architects and engineers. I started in the 80’s with the AutoCAD software. I have been using Rhino CAD software a long time. It is one of the ones that I am most familiar with since I started using it in 2002, so it has been 14 years. This Rhinoceros or Rhino CAD software is getting into one of the more comprehensive programs. It still comes down to “What” you want to model, just like with 3D printers the right printer for the job comes down to “What” you want to print. Tom and Tracy discuss why it has been Tom’s CAD program of choice for over 14 years. Its open architecture for 3rd Party Plugins makes it adaptable to many different specialties.

Rhino 3D or Rhinoceros CAD software is somewhere in the middle of the parametric engineering intensive and free-form artistic modeling programs available. Learn more about Rhino 3D and be amazed at what you, too, can do with the software.

It still comes down to “what” you want to model. In this episode, Tom and Tracy Hazzard discuss why it has been Tom’s CAD program of choice for over 14 years.

Rhino 3D or Rhino CAD Software is somewhere in the middle of the parametric engineering intensive and free-form artistic modeling programs available. Anything that puts “easy” in its intro always attracts everyone, especially AutoCAD users.
