HOW TO USE THESE BOOKS
- Volume I covers an introduction to Rhino and it's workspace. It also introduces Rhino's basic 2-D commands as well as general editing and transformation commands that will be the basis of the tutorials in Volume II. 2-D designs and technical drawing tutorials will show the use of these commands and strategies for jewelry projects.
- Volume II introduces you to Rhino's 3-D space and covers 3-dimensional design and modeling strategies for jewelry models. Tutorials will advance from beginner level to high intermediate.
- Go through these books from the beginning and, slowly and thoughtfully, take yourself through the step-by-step chapters.
- Repeat a chapter if you feel that you had a struggle getting through it. The extra time spent will pay off! Stay calm and understand that everyone goes through this stage!
- Avail yourself of the Help Menu in Rhino. The reader is urged to take advantage of this resource within Rhino. If you see a command described in a tutorial that you may not fully understand, press “F1” and you will be taken to the Help menu for that command.
- Try to use Rhino in your own work as soon as possible. That is the way you will really learn it. A struggle now will accelerate your learning curve.
- Take Rhino courses. You will always learn something more with each course that you take.
- But... understand that most of the learning starts at home – working on your own computer. Don’t feel that you have to keep taking courses to continue learning. The hard work is done by you alone.
