Laser Cutting Rhino Commands

Preparing Geometry for Laser Cutting

Make2D: Creates a flattened 2D representation of selected geometry.

SelDup: Selects duplicate objects that occupy the same location.

Join: Combines adjacent curves, surfaces, or meshes into a single object.

CloseCrv: Closes open curves by connecting the start and end points to create a continuous loop.

Explode: Breaks composite geometry into its individual components.

SetPt: Aligns selected geometry to a specified X, Y, or Z coordinate and can be used to align geometry on the same plane.


Editing Geometry

Extend: Lengthens a curve until it reaches another object or specified boundary.

Offset: Creates a copy of a curve at a specified distance from the original curve.

Fillet: Adds a tangent arc between two curves and trims the curves to the arc.

FilletCorners: Rounds the corners of polycurves and polylines with arcs of a specified radius.


Creating Geometry

Point: Creates a point object at a specified location.

Polyline: Creates a series of connected line or arc segments.

Curve: Draws a curve through specified control points.

Rectangle: Draws a closed rectangular polyline.

Circle: Draws a circle using a specified center point and radius.

Ellipse: Draws a closed elliptical curve.

Arc: Draws an arc with options for a center location and two end points that make up the angle.

Polygon: Draws a closed polyline with a specified number of sides.

Hatch: Fills the interior of a closed boundary with a solid fill or a pattern.


Arranging Geometry

Move: Relocates objects from one point to another.

Copy: Creates copies of selected objects at specified locations.

Rotate: Rotates objects around a specified center point.

Array: Creates multiple copies of selected objects in a specified arrangement.
