CNC Cutting Rhino Commands

Preparing Control Geometry

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

DupEdge: Creates curves from selected surface, polysurface, mesh, or SubD edges.

DupBorder: Creates curves from the boundaries of selected surfaces, polysurfaces, meshes, or SubDs.

Project: Projects curves or points onto a surface to create control geometry that follows the surface.

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


Editing Control 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.

Trim: Cuts and deletes selected portions of an object at the intersection with another object.

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

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

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


Creating Control 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.

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.


Arranging Geometry

Move: Relocates objects from one point to another.

Rotate: Rotates objects around a specified center point.

Copy: Creates copies of selected objects at specified locations.

Array: Creates copies of selected objects arranged in rows and columns.
