Rhino Beginner’s Course, Part 5: From 2D Curves to 3D Forms

In this video you’ll get some practice making 2d geometry – often using snaps to ensure clean, usable results – and we’ll also cover some methods for translating the curves into 3d geometry. Along the way we’ll work with a few toolbar submenus so you’ll better understand some of the options available in Rhino.
