Large Assignment 1 – Andrea Torres

Part 1: Curves

Open a new Rhino File and practice the curves commands by completing the following steps. Organize your Rhino file so each step is clear. Use the Text command to label each step and the commands you used.

1. Make the specific footprint below.
   • Commands: Polyline
2. Make 2 closed rounded curves using the various curve commands.
   • Commands: Curve, InterpCurve, HandleCurve
   • 
3. Make 2 closed curves using polygon, ellipse, or circle
   • Commands: Circle, Ellipse, Polygon
   • 
4. Make 2 open curves
   • Commands: Curve, InterpCurve, HandleCurve, Sketch
   • 
5. Import a picture and trace an image
   • Commands: Picture, InterpCurve
   • 
6. Pick one open curve, and one closed rounded curve and make three copies of each.
   • Commands: Copy
   • 
7. Take at least 3 of your closed curves and overlap them to create a new shape
   • Commands: Move
   • 
8. Use split, delete, and trim to combine these curves into one open curve
   • Commands: Split, Delete, Trim, Join, Explode
   • 
9. Take at least two curves and use various transformations make a pattern or composition.
   • Commands: Move, Copy, Rotate, Mirror, Array, Scale, Offset, Fillet, FilletCorners
10. Organize your Rhino file so each step is clear. Use the Text command to label each step and the commands you used. Add a link to your FirstnameLastname_Curves file at this point in your post.

Part 2: Surfaces

Open a new Rhino File and practice the surfaces commands below by making two different surfaces for each command. Organize your Rhino file so each step is clear. You may want to use some of the curves you modeled in Part 1. Use the Text command to label each step and the commands you used.

1. Plane
   • 
2. PlanarSrf
   • 
3. EdgeSrf
   • 
4. ExtrudeCrv
   • 
5. ExtrudeCrvAlongCrv
   • 
6. Loft
   • 
7. Sweep1
   • 
8. Sweep2
   • 
9. Revolve
   • 
10. RailRevolve
    • 
11. Add a link to your FirstnameLastname_Surfaces file at this point in your post.

Part 3: Solids

Open a new Rhino File and practice the solids commands below by making two different solids for each command. You may want to use some of the curves and surfaces you modeled in Parts 1 and 2. Organize your Rhino file so each step is clear. Use the Text command to label each step and the commands you used.

1. Box
   • 
2. Cylinder
   • 
3. Sphere
   • 
4. ExtrudeCrv and Cap
   • 
5. Pipe
   • 
6. MoveFace
   • 
7. MoveEdge
   • 
8. OffsetSrf
   • 
9. BooleanUnion
   • 
10. BooleanDifference
    • 
11. Boolean Intersection
    • 
12. BooleanSpli
    • 
13. Using the surfaces and solids you modeled and the Boolean tools, make three solid shapes you find interesting.1
14. Add a link to your FirstnameLastname_Solids file at this point in your post.

For my print I chose my third large object. It took about 5.5 hours to complete. This print came out very well and I had no snags in printing. I was very surprised how sturdy this shape came out because it chose to give it 2mm walls in rhino. I really like how symmetric shapes can be when using pipe, I was very tempted to to make really drastic diameter changes when using pipe but I did not want to have to use supports on my object. Also if anyone is having trouble removing prints or getting the first layer to stick to the plate a little bit of Elmers glue will do the trick😉
