Introduction

RhinoResurf for Rhino is a reverse engineering plug-in for Rhinoceros® 4.0. This plug-in gives Rhino the ability to reconstruct the geometry of an object from a mesh or point cloud which describes it.

RhinoResurf for Rhino can drape a surface over a point cloud with specified tolerance. Draping a surface is similar to laying a piece of cloth over an object. The surface is deformed to take the shape of the object along the drape direction. The drape direction is calculated automatically. Command: RsPoints2Surf

RhinoResurf for Rhino can convert an open mesh model to a single NURB surface with specified tolerance. The mesh is allowed to have interior holes in the model. Command: RsMesh2Surf

RhinoResurf for Rhino can convert an open or closed mesh to multiple NURB surfaces. User selects a mesh, and defines a curve network by drawing lines on the selected mesh. Then just click one or two buttons, the selected mesh will be converted to multiple NURB surfaces with specified tolerance. The transition between any two NURBS surface patches reaches G1 continuity. Command: RsMesh2Surfs

RhinoResurf for Rhino can create a nurbs surface from selected curves (such as contour curve). Command: RsCurves2Surf

RhinoResurf for Rhino can automatically generate nurbs surfaces from a selected mesh. Command: RsAutoNurbs

RhinoResurf for Rhino can create a mesh from selected point cloud. Command: RsPointCloud2Mesh

RhinoResurf for Rhino can split curves by their intersection point position automatically. Command: RsSplitCurveNetwork

RhinoResurf for Rhino can merge several meshes into one mesh body. Command: RsMergeMeshs

RhinoResurf for Rhino can let user purchase and register RhinoResurf via web. Command: RsRegister

RhinoResurf for Rhino can let user view help documentation in Rhino enviroment. Command: RsHelp

RhinoResurf for Rhino is designed to be extremely user friendly and easy to understand. You load it manually at the first time and it automatically loads itself into the Rhino environment later. Once loaded it adds new commands to Rhino's existing commands and a new submenu called "Resurf" to the Rhino menu containing these newly added commands.

RhinoResurf for Rhino comes with detailed documentation for each command as well as a set of tutorials to get you started in the shortest possible time.
