Rhino Script

A series of scripts developed for Rhinoceros 3d (v.4, v.5), by Robert McNeel and Associates. Many of these scripts were inspired by Projects developed at Woods Bagot and Projects developed at Evan Douglis Studio and are made available under the MIT License.

Bezier Constructor

This rhinoscript takes a series of points selected in sequence and creates a bezier curve using the geomtetric method of construction.

Blend Tool 3d

Similar to Adobe Illustrators 2d curve blend, this tool takes a series of curves and creates interpolated steps between them.

Connect Two Curves

This Rhino script allows the user to select two curves to be connected, closing them into a single polyline, using either a rough equivalent of…

Dash Curve

A simple script developed during the Rib maker script, this Rhinoscript interface allows the user to select a set of curves then input a sequential…

Documenter

This rhinoscript takes a collection of objects and produces a series of documentation drawings in Orthographic, Auxillary, and Isometric projection producing a total of 26…

Evaluate Curve By Distance

This Rhino Script breaks a curve down into a series of equidistant points represented as lines. This functionality has been added into rhino 5.

Expanded Surface

The expanded surface is the final release of the unfolded surface series at this time. This version generates an expanded surface which provides higher structural…

Hair From Points

This rhino script allows the user to create highly varied, yet controllable, low polygon count “hairs”.

Image Reader

This is the first set of a developing series of image reading scripts designed to bridge hand sketching with three dimensional modeling. Inspired by a…

Incremental Counter

A tool developed to expedite fabrication. Each click adds text which counts by a specified increment allowing for quick numbering, with your choice of prefixes.

Isolate

This Rhino Script allows the user to select a piece of geometry then selects the inverse and hides it. Use _show to reveal this geometry.

Jitter

This rhinoscript uses a random function to produced minor variations in Position (move), Orientation (rotation), and Dimension (scale) within a range specified by the user.

Lattice Pipe

This Rhino Script allows the user to create an oscillating lattice of curves.

Layer Prefix

This Rhino Script allows the user to select multiple layer names and add a prefix to it.

Arrows

This rhinoscript, developed for circulation diagrams, converts curves into variable styles of surfaced three dimensional arrows.

Median Surface

This tool derives the median surface from a selected set of surfaces and places it at the origin point of a scene.

Multiloft

This Rhino Script allows the used to select multiple sets of curves to run the loft command on, reducing the total amount on time spent…

Multipipe

This rhinoscript allows the user to select multiple curves, the start radius, the end radius, and the cap type. It is not needed in Rhino…

Overkill

Much of this same functionality can be obtained with using the command seldup in Rhino 5.

Pack It

This Rhino Script allows the user to pack a series of curves into a set boundary with several options for scaling, orientation, sorting, and numbering.

Rain

Part of a library of environmental effect graphic generators this Rhino Script produces a series of lines which fall like rain upon Rhino’s cplane.

Random Groups

This simple rhinoscript, developed to randomize sets of objects for material application in rendering, allows the user to select a set of objects and place…

Random Hair on Surface

This rhino script allows the user to create highly varied, yet controllable, low polygon count “hairs”.

Randomizer

This Rhino Script presents the user with a series of options to create random point clusters in different geometric volumes as well as surface or…

Range Rebuild Curves

This script allows the user to rebuild curves that fall within a certain point count range.

Range Rebuild Surface

This script allows the user to rebuild surfaces that fall within a certain point count range.

ReOrient Curves

This Rhino Script takes allows the user to select a series of curves and a curve to reference them against.

Rib Maker

This Rib fabrication Rhino script allows the user to select a surface, input the row and column count, specify the rib dimensions, then sit back,…

Ripple Objects about Curve

This Rhino Script takes allows the user to select a series of curves and a curve to reference them against. From this relationship the user…

Ripple Unfold

This fabrication script presents a simple tool to evaluate a surface with a triangular pattern and unfold this pattern in a series of bands.

Scale Field by Image

This Rhinoscript takes any image reads the luminance value of the image at a user specified 2d increment and uses the results as a scalar…

Surface Morpher

This script allows the user to morph between multiple surfaces at a given instance.

Surface Six Pack

This script produces six options for surface subdivision within Rhino. It provides a curveset as an output which can be used for module population.

Surface Wave

Surface wave is a very simple rhinoscript tool which uses a curve to create a sine wave based surface.

Sweep Tool

The multiSweep script allows for the selection of multiple rails and a profile from which the profile’s relative planar orientation is determined and automatically aligned…

Transform Each

may be a very simple script, but it is a handy one to have around. The command is modeled after adobe illustrator’s transform each feature…

Triangulate Strips

This simple triangulation fabrication script takes a single surface and evaluates it at a user specified density. The script then creates a flattened set of…

Triangulate Tile

This simple triangulation fabrication script evaluates a surface and creates a tiled set of triangulated pieces with incrementally numbered tabs. To assemble, simply combine tabs…

Visualize Points

This Rhino Script presents a series of options for the visualization of points, relative to graphic output.

Weave A

This Rhino Script uses a simple repeating over/under pattern, however this curves in this series run diagonally across the surface creating a pseudo diagrid pattern.

Weave B

This Rhino Script uses a series of curves, warp and weft, running parallel to the UV directions of a surface, weaving two disparate series of…
