SubD
For designers who need to explore organic shapes quickly, SubD is a new geometry type that can create editable, highly accurate shapes. Unlike other geometry types, SubD combines free-form accuracy while still allowing quick editing.
Rhino.Inside.Revit
Rhino.Inside is a new technology that allows embedding Rhino into other 64-bit Windows applications. Rhino.Inside.Revit is based on this technology and provides a platform for an unprecedented level of integration between Rhino and Revit.
Technically speaking, it is an add-on for Revit that loads Rhino and its plugins (e.g. Grasshopper) into Revit’s memory, just like any other Revit add-ons. Grasshopper brings a collection of new components for interacting with Revit, as well as providing access to the two software APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) using its script components.
Practically speaking, Rhino.Inside.Revit provides a set of tools for bridging the gap between Rhino’s free-form modeling and the world of BIM, opening Grasshopper’s rich ecosystem to the Revit environment, enabling completely new design workflows and possibilities.
QuadRemesh
Quickly create a quad mesh from existing surfaces, solids, meshes, or SubDs—ideal for rendering, animation, CFD, FEA, and reverse-engineering.
Presentation
In Rhino 7, we’ve improved the presentation tools, streamlining the workflow with a major update to the Rhino Render engine, so the same look you get in your Raytraced viewport can be rendered without any changes. We’ve added support for PBR materials, a LayerBook command, and more
PBR Materials
Physically Based Rendering Materials are beautiful and easy to use
Denoisers
Denoisers produce high-quality renderings in a fraction of the time.
Emissive Materials
Create self-lit objects commonly found in consumer electronics.
Light Falloff
Specifies how lighting intensity changes when light travels in the scene
LayerBook
Present ideas quickly with LayerBook.
Gradient and Transparent Hatches
Create attractive 2D representations in a few steps.
Rhino Refined
In Rhino 7, we’ve fixed hundreds of bugs, but we’ve also added workflow improvements like Named Selections, Mold Making tools, a Single-Line font for engraving, and improved interoperation with third-party file formats.
Named Selections
Quickly save and restore previously selected objects
Mold Making Tools
For mold makers and tool designers, Rhino’s makes the model-test-revise
Single-Line Fonts
Improve the speed and quality of CNC engravings.
Supported File Formats
In Rhino 7, we've improved fidelity for existing formats and support for SubD where possible.
Display
Rhino’s display pipeline is fast and uses modern graphics hardware features, like GPU sensitive shaders and memory optimizations. This results in fewer GPU-specific display glitches and more consistent, beautiful, and frequent frames, even with large models. Features include extremely fast 3D graphics, unlimited viewports, shaded, working views, perspective working views, named views, floating views, full-screen display, draw order support, two‑point perspective, clipping planes, and one-to-one scale to view models at full size.
Documentation
Modeling is just one part of the design process; you also need to show how to build what is on the screen. We’ve improved many parts of the documentation workflow while also focusing on the more graphically-rich illustration tools like transparency and gradient hatches
Gradient and Transparent Hatches
Create attractive 2D representations in a few steps.
Layout Management
Vertical panel makes it easier to manage models with many drawings.
Enhanced Text Fields
Text fields are text formulas that can dynamically update.
Grasshopper
Grasshopper seems to be everywhere lately. As usual, we’re having a hard time keeping up (you might even see that familiar canvas in other applications). In Rhino 7, we’ve added some new components, but we’ve also made it easier to turn your programs into plugins
Grasshopper Player
Turn your Grasshopper definitions into Rhino commands.
Clash Detection
Quickly find where your objects occupy the same space.
Grasshopper Component Placeholders
Placeholder component for missing plugins.
Development Platform
Rhino 7 brings major improvements to our free SDKs, with API refinements, better documentation, and some major new features that broaden and deepen the foundations of the geometry development platform
Package Manager
Discover, install, and manage your resources
rhino3dm Libraries
Read and write rhino 3dm files from nearly anywhere.
Rhino.Inside
Access Rhino and Grasshopper within other Windows applications
Rhino.Inside.Revit
Run Rhino and Grasshopper within Revit.
RhinoCommon
APIs for SubD, QuadRemesh, PBR Materials, and much more
