Thank you for creating such a good introduction video.

[@watercolor-girl]

Thank you! I've had such a mental block block around learning this software and you are the first person who has explained it in a clear and uncomplicated way. The named view element led me to named positions etc which would've helped me so much in my master's program working with (and getting lost in) oddly shaped experimental models. You're a lifesaver. Thank you so, so much!

[@akhilbhaskar9797]

thank you for such a well-tutored video. You are a great person

Direto ao ponto, ótimo vídeo!

[@minamould3599]

Thank you!!!! I learned on AutoCAD and my peers are switching to Rhino. This is super helpful!!

[@kapachan1]

@hfc3696 You can render and create 3d models in AutoCAD as well. Both AutoCAD and Rhino can do 2d and 3d.

[@cassandralundgren9029]

Great introduction, thank you!!

[@marcelelauande]

Amazing video! Thanks a lot!

[@user-sj6ic2ls9n]

Great Introduction! Please make more Introductory Rhino videos, but more in depth into the interface.
Your voice presentation is great, and you explain things very well, not too fast, not to slow. You also do well explaining the "why" behind the "way". You could easily have a larger $$$ making TH-cam channel~Thanks

[@squidyt2364]

thank you for this! I'm in an interdisciplinary studio at ISU full of fifth year architects (Im a junior in industrial) and trying to learn Rhino has been a bitch, especially when the first assignment is modeling a whole ass building lol. shoutout Shelby Doyle.

[@yavuztul]

thanks wonderfull lesson
for architects

[@shanufirmina1596]

Thanks a lot for the vedio...it would be useful if you make more detailed tutorials.

[@Saharious30]

Thank you . It was very helpful. I am from Iowa State University too.

[@saraa7117]

Tnx god i came across ur video, can u please make a video on the useful commands for architecture such as loft, rondo and etc. that would be so helpful and ik lost and lots of people are looking for such video

[@aungnaingwin8388]

thank you my kind sir ... hat off

[@robinperrault]

Hello, thanks for the video, i have a question : for a better efficiency of the software what command should i put on my mouse (left, center, right)

[@khalilfilali5626]

Hi, thank you for the video, i got a problem all the display modes, except the wireframe one, doesn't work, for the wireframe i changed the pipeline to windows but i tried several things to fix the other modes but still nothing the viewport is just blocked, i'm stuck, i can't modify anything, neither navugate in the viewport. Thank you some help, would be appriciated!

[@theebalz]

I'd like to know if you can do elliptical domes in Rhino for Architecture. If so, can you guide me to that lesson?

[@tiennguyenminh86]

What are the softwares the architect use? And what is the most useful software to work in a studio or a company?

[@natemckewon2663]

Hello Tien, I realize this is a bit late, sorry! In short, it depends on your use. From my experience, SketchUp & Revit are two heavily utilized and advertised programs that are user-friendly and easy to learn and use. Sketchup for concept design, and Revit to "record" the design and develop the details in plans, elevations, sections, and so on once the concept design is approved. However, Rhino is becoming more popular with complex parametric modeling and handling curves for organic-like designs.

[@marlomsimpson3924]

It would be nice to get more information from you but this is the only video see of you and it is 28 minutes. Where can I find the other videos in your series?

[@TheKevin28pro]

Hey Nate!
Where can we access those images for the module training?

[@natemckewon2663]

Kevin, the source of inspiration behind these structures and this Rhino tutorial came from the Serpentine Pavilions Competition every year in London. Found at this website. www.serpentinegalleries.org/explore/pavilion. Thank you for asking! If you are asking about the images I created in Rhino, I would be happy to share for your reference.

[@adrianzuniga6995]

@@natemckewon2663 hi Nate great Video can you please share the images or files?

[@zhixuanzheng9044]

HI, THATS GREAT VIDEO!
just wondering when i'm useing blocks and trying swap the 'block name' to make 4 cubes have same size, rhino just tell me it's already existed, pls change a new one, do u know why?

[@Z-add]

Does rhino have a layout tool?

[@natemckewon2663]

Hello MySchizoo Buddy. Yes Rhino does. Here is a link to a lot of helpful info on that subject! wiki.mcneel.com/rhino/layouts5

[@kinzangjamtsho5424]

why dont u start tutorial instead of talking

[@natemckewon2663]

Kinzang, good question. A bit of context, I created these series of videos for my ISU independent study of Rhino in collaboration with my professor. The "talking" in the beginning was to frame the following discussion of the basics of the video. The following videos in this series do dive straight into the tutorials as this video is an introduction to the rest.
