Using this command, you can create classic rings, which are especially useful for traditional engagement rings, wedding rings, and simple yet universally gorgeous designs.
Running this command will display its parameters in the Commands toolbar. Your first step should be to choose whether you want to start working on a style provided by RhinoArtisan or click on the Edit Element to create a fresh new style by editing the one that appears in the viewport.
In its parameters section, you'll find options to set the ring size, define measurements, and select the asset that shapes the shank, including the option to extend its external form if needed. Additionally, you can choose settings for adding gems and customize their placement and style, among other features
The Classic Shank will be listed on the Outliner toolbar when you confirm your changes.
Goldsmith Tip : When designing a pair of wedding bands, it’s efficient to begin by creating one band according to your customer’s specifications. Once this base design is complete, you can duplicate it and adjust key parameters to achieve two objectives: first, to match the ring size for the second band perfectly, and second, to introduce variations, such as adding a stone or altering the width for different style options. By designing just one band, you can easily generate renders of the different pairs, allowing you to present a range of options to your customers.
Finger Size
Allows users to select different finger sizes to adjust the ring accordingly.

Advanced: Settings
The Advanced Settings section provides a range of options to fine-tune the design of rings, including the management of prongs, cutters, and V-Cutters. This allows for precise control over the appearance and functionality of these components.
This option excludes prongs from being added to the gems, providing a clean design without any additional settings for prong customization.
This option includes prongs for the gems and provides several parameters for customization:
Gem Inside: Controls the horizontal level at which the prong interacts with the gem.
Height: Adjusts the vertical height of the prong.
Extension Manufacturing (only in manufacturing mode): Manages the extension of the prong from the topside, useful in the manufacturing stage.
Move Z: Modifies the height position of the prong along the Z-axis.
Automatic Prong Diameter: Toggles the automatic adjustment of the prong’s diameter based on the gem's dimensions.
Diameter: Controls the diameter of the prong.
The Cutters section allows users to establish cutting options and parameters for both standard and V-Cutters.
V-Cutters: Toggles between enabling V-Cutters.
Boolean: Toggles between enabling the cutters boolean.
Remove Channels: Toggles between removing cutters channel.
Cutters Parameters

Mode: Toggles between the independence of the V-Cutters towards the Start/End parameters.
Drill Settings
The Drill Settings section allows users to configure drilling operations. This includes toggling different drill types and adjusting their parameters to achieve the desired drilling effects.
Drill Width: Controls the drill's width.
Drill Height: Controls the drill's height.
Advanced Shank: Opening mode
The Advanced Shank Parameters section offers detailed controls for the opening mode of the ring shank, featuring various cutting and pinching techniques. These settings enable precise adjustments to the shank's design and structure, allowing for customized modifications.
Pinch
Opening: Adjusts the width of the pinched area on the shank. This parameter determines the extent to which the shank is pinched or narrowed, affecting the visual and structural characteristics of the ring.
Base X: Controls the horizontal positioning (X-axis) of the base of the pinch. Adjusting this parameter changes the lateral placement of the pinch effect, allowing for precise alignment along the X-axis.
Base Y: Controls the depth positioning (Y-axis) of the base of the pinch. This parameter determines how far the pinch extends into the material of the shank, affecting the depth and prominence of the pinch effect.
Base Z: Adjusts the vertical positioning (Z-axis) of the base of the pinch. This parameter affects the vertical placement of the pinch effect relative to the shank, providing control over the height of the pinch.
Cutting
Cut length: Controls the length of the cut's edge.
Cap bumping: Controls the bump outside the ring.
