In part one of this practical Rhino CAD tutorial, I take you through the process of using photographs to modify a stock 3D gemstone, to match the size and proportions of an oval rutilated quartz.

As well as the how I’ll also be explaining the why, breaking down my decision making process along the way.

Presented and narrated by Jack Row FIPG.

Advice for CAD designers: Beware of using imported diamond cut gemstone models, when creating settings for large coloured stones. Make you or your setter's life easier by modifying the shape of a standard cut stone, to better match the proportions of the real gemstone that you are designing around. This can be especially important with larger, coloured gemstones.
