Rhino Modeling Workflow
Before you model (do not skip)
Goal: make geometry that can become a clear exploded axonometric drawing.
Set correct units (mm or inches) before modeling.
Model each part as a separate solid (do NOT fuse everything).
Name and organize parts using layers.
If you cannot select and move parts independently, your exploded axon will fail
Prep File
This tutorial works with any system - but the files are set up in the metric system (centimeters).
Turn on Gridsnap, Gumball, Osnap (end, mid, int, perp, and point)
