In this software tutorial, I model a rim in Rhino version 5. This is a watertight NURBS model that would be an ideal output for prototyping or high resolution 3D printing.
Make sure you are in the appropriate C-plane. If you think of the C-plane as a projection screen, this is the correct orientation. Go to View | Set Cplane and try World Front or Right or Top. Can also extrude the curves and find the intersection, failing all else. Hope this helps!
So good teaching! No annoying "sorries" for every small mistake made by for example clicking on a wrong object e.t.c. In short - no unnecessary bullshit. Thank you and keep it up!
I have several years experiencing dabbling with Rhino, an interest led by 3d printing. Otherwise I've always modeled in a polygon modeler, so thinking like an engineer and using this approach is difficult for me. You sir, made one of the BEST tutorials I've ever watched!
Nice work Brian! I learned a lot of little short-cuts from your video that I did not realize existed in Rhino (i.e. Extract surf by right click explode, set points through xform menu, and chain / last created select through edit menu) . Really helpful to see how someone else works to get us out of our comfortable rut!
I'm a occasional longtime rhino user, for years I've been using rhino but never really to it's full potential. I mainly use Mastercam on a daily basis but always revert to Rhino for that special project and everything in 3d. Watching your video made me find many missing commands I was not using in my workflow that I knew Rhino had but never really had the time to find them. Thanks so much for making this.
+Suade907 I used MasterCAM before they went to the icon interface... Basically like talking your way through a project. Create, line, horizontally constrained, from endpoint... I tell my students that if you think Rhino should be able to do something, take a moment to look. Chances are it is there!
+Brian Oltrogge Funny you say that because many times when I'm prepping a artsy vector job for waterjet cutting I'll run it through Rhino first. It's amazing how much power is buried in Rhino. Your definitely right, often I will search and find a way to do something in minutes that would of taken me hours in mastercam or another software package. I'm constantly blown away.
I had an orange background forever. I find now that I teach it regularly I have to keep everything stock now. Orange to yellow gradient was my favorite as the select color is yellow.
EPIC VID!!! I can't WAIT to upgrade to V5!!! I've used ProEngineer for over 20 years. Rhino 5 is almost as good!! What blew me away is, it now has some "Quasi-Parametric" functionality!! AWESOME! This is first time I've seen one of your vids. If they are all like this.....I'm SUBSCRIBING!!!
If you want to avoid undesired issues with meshing of Rhino's revolved objects, simply create those surfaces with either Sweep 1 rail or Sweep 2 rails command. This way, your meshing will be much cleaner and consistent to the rest surfaces. The issue is caused by the nature of the Revolve command which creates Degree 2 surfaces (Rhino always had problems with those), whereas the Sweep 1 rail and Sweep 2 rails will give you Degree 3 surfaces.
But i would like to see the exact dimensions and locations of the curves..how can i build the rest of model without knowing the basic in this specific tutor?
Please can some one tell me why every time I try to project something on to a surface it says, projection missed the selected object, its driving me nuts. Any help would be very much appreciated
Hey Brian, awsome tutorial! even though I use inventor I can apply the techniques you demonstrated! I was also wondering what that widget you have on your desktop is? it looks very cool! 0:34
Hi Brian, I have tried doing your wheel hub but every time I try to project on to the surface it says, PROJECTION MISSED THE SELECTED OBJECT, I would be very grateful of some help as to why this is happening and what I have to do. By the way, its a great video
Brian.. I've a very special question to you.. ! Are you interested to have something like a project to work on ? We are a small group and we don't have any 3D modellers in our team that could help us with some ideas.. I'm an noviced Rhino amateur and like your tutorials I could learn this programm more and more.. If you've any interest of what is going on, please contact me.. If not (like if you're a busy man and don't have time for this, just ignore my request ;) But at any case.. thanks for your great tutorials !!
This is a custom skin for Rainmeter that I made for myself. rainmeter.net/ will get you started! I am not sure how I would bundle my skin for other people to use....
Really? That's a funny question. I don't think the rim is named Rhino V5. Soooo. I'm pretty sure the program is Rhino. Not making any promises though. Try googling it.
MrWhoadudewhoa Did i knew after i write for ask :D l'm forgot to removed my comment :P l didn't never knew about rhino 3D before, after l try it's just nice engineerings uses rhino and also solidworks. Thanks dude your the man
great tutorial. thanks! When I try to project the curves on the surface I get this error and hino doesn't do it : " The projection missed the selected objects." what does it mean and how can I fix it? thank you in advance! :)
Laleh Hakimizadeh Chances are you are in the wrong CPlane. You will need to change this to act as if the C-plane is the wall you are projecting your geometry onto. For my example, this would be the front Cplane.
+Shang Kevin Rhino is about $200 if you are a teacher or student. For the commercial version, it is about $1000. It is cheaper currently for Mac computers, but Macs can not currently take advantage of some of the more powerful plugins.
. How are lug nuts suppose to tighten up against an inverted curved surface? I think you needed to add a seat for the lug nuts on the front of the rim, But good job otherwise.
How did you project the form onto the surface from the perspective view? I can only seem to make this work properly in front view (where it is obviously much harder to see what you're working on)
Mark Clemmens There are a couple of things at work in the Rhino modeling environment... The way you look at the object through the view port and how your cursor can effect the object within the viewport. This is called the CPlane or 'construction plane'. I should do a video on this as it is a major stumbling block for understanding how to model organically rather than using the front side and top view approach. Simplest way to tell you in the comments would be to set the front view and rotate. Otherwise, in any view you can always go to your view port menu at the upper left and select the appropriate c-plane.

Thanks for your comment, I should do more tutorials as I think Rhino is a great program, especially for makers.
I think many would appreciate that!

Brian, Great job. I am one of the trainers at Rhino and love it when someone does an awesome job using an awesome project.. congrats. Bob
Thanks! I have been meaning to make more of these. Some more grasshopper videos as well...
+Brian Oltrogge more tuts would be awesome, mate :)

Rhino looks so damned cool with a yellow background....
I had an orange background forever. I find now that I teach it regularly I have to keep everything stock now. Orange to yellow gradient was my favorite as the select color is yellow.
Thank you. This was just the trick to help me with my "spinning rim" medallion for a hip hop client. And I'm actually not kidding.
Always good to hear! Thanks for leaving a note...

I am also a ProE and Rhino user. Rhino is much easier for freeform surfacing :)
Nice Tutorial, Thanks. There are always nifty tricks to be learned. Thanks!
men , please keep doing this stuff, you explain it so good
Glad you found it useful! Hope to have more in the future!
Thank you very much! More to come!
Tnx bro. Good tutorial!
te agradezco mucho por tu video , saludos desde argentina .
Really really great video! Learned a lot from this project. Advanced tutorial!

You are awesome in using only one view for modelling !!
But i would like to see the exact dimensions and locations of the curves..how can i build the rest of model without knowing the basic in this specific tutor?
Nice one!!!
that is gorgeous.
Extremely helpful. Thank you.
Amazing tutorial
This is really good! Congratz by those tutorials mate! learned a lot :)
Thanks for this - great tutorial!
Love your channel, job well done!!! You have earned a big subscriber :)
Thanks. Excellent tutorial.
This is amazing!
Nice video, thank you
Nice
Very good!!!!!!
+Roger mac Thanks!
great video! thanks a lot ;)
Thankyou
Great stuff, now please do something similar in Alias :)
Excellent tutorial .I have question from where can I download the same as your screen gadget which appears at the beginning .
Thank you
Hi Brian! Thank you for your Rhino tuts! You are serious talented for this, do you have more tuts in any other site like Udemy? Best, J
Good video! but i was distracted by the desktop gadget/info center. What app is that?
thx
Hey Brian! Really nice project, congratulations. May I ask what computer did you use and what specifications it had?
+esteban betancourt Older HP Elitebook. Certainly nothing special!
hey, thanks for your work! Could you be so kind an upload somewhere the base file with the curves. It will be perfect to use & try! Thanks in advance
Awesome video. Just wondering if you can share the base curves for the rim video and the tire video?
Please can some one tell me why every time I try to project something on to a surface it says, projection missed the selected object, its driving me nuts. Any help would be very much appreciated
Hey Brian, awsome tutorial! even though I use inventor I can apply the techniques you demonstrated! I was also wondering what that widget you have on your desktop is? it looks very cool! 0:34
+Nick Charlton Thanks for the comment! The widget is a custom Rainmeter Skin I made for myself.
+Brian Oltrogge wow that's impressive, is it compatible with windows 10? could you by any chance send it to me??!!
Hi Brian, I have tried doing your wheel hub but every time I try to project on to the surface it says, PROJECTION MISSED THE SELECTED OBJECT, I would be very grateful of some help as to why this is happening and what I have to do. By the way, its a great video
try project in top plane view or other than perspective view
i dont get it...on 14:50 you extrude, and all of a sudden a surface appears on that curve. how?
What about the mesh??? how dense is it??
hi man , where i can find your other tutorial ?
how to create those lines at the beginning?
Brian.. I've a very special question to you.. ! Are you interested to have something like a project to work on ?

hey man great video, can you tell me the name of the template in the 0.33 min u were using? or link? or anything, is very very nice, ty !!

Making it a watertight grouping is funny for an object with that many holes.
great tutorial. thanks! When I try to project the curves on the surface I get this error and hino doesn't do it : " The projection missed the selected objects." what does it mean and how can I fix it? thank you in advance! :)

Thank you very much! I will try it again.
Could you spend the wheel measurements ? so that it was possible to follow your tutorial, or your file from beginning of the video ?Thanks (:
hey I'm a beginer I brought a Wacom intuos and way wondering how much rhino costs
+Shang Kevin Rhino is about $200 if you are a teacher or student. For the commercial version, it is about $1000. It is cheaper currently for Mac computers, but Macs can not currently take advantage of some of the more powerful plugins.
I wanted to try this but I don't know how to do the curves.
You can do the same work on Sketchup so much easier
.
How are lug nuts suppose to tighten up against an inverted curved surface? I think you needed to add a seat for the lug nuts on the front of the rim, But good job otherwise.

Thanks!
Can someone send me the complete tire model
sure

very impressive but you don't explain how you do the lines, :(
excuse me for my bad english i'm french and beginner in Rhino 5
Im switching as bored with grey....
this would be lots more helpful if I understood how to make these curves to begin with
Or use CATIA to do it much faster !!
Hmmm... I wonder what I should buy with the $20,000 I saved by not buying CATIA...
Well if you buy it yes !
faster my ass CATIA is the slowest non user friendly software ever
can you email me that template ?
Exelente video!!!

Nice tutorial, but what is the point of giving precise measurements when no original file or measurements were supplied. I ended up estimating things.
start at the start not half way through next time, Yeah? cheers mate
+Oliver Evans-Gregg Cheers!
