Rhino and RhinoArtisan Interface

RhinoArtisan works as a Rhinoceros plugin, and also has its own interface.

RhinoArtisan works as a Rhinoceros plugin and has its interface. In terms of functionality, it is the same, so why have we created a different interface? The main reason is ease of use. We have created a focused interface for jewellery design by integrating RhinoArtisan's functionalities.

We recommend that you use the interface you are most comfortable with. 😄

RhinoArtisan recommends Dark Mode, even in Rhino.

RhinoArtisan 6 works on Rhino 8, which now features a Dark Mode for reduced eye strain during extended design sessions. RhinoArtisan's interface will automatically adjust to this mode. We recommend enabling Dark Mode if you prefer working with the Rhino interface.

Dark mode offers several advantages. It helps reduce eye strain by lowering screen brightness, making it more comfortable to use for long periods in low-light environments.

Additionally, dark mode can improve sleep quality by reducing exposure to blue light, which can interfere with sleep patterns in the evening. On OLED and AMOLED displays, the dark mode also benefits battery life, as dark pixels consume less power than bright ones. Visually, dark mode enhances aesthetics by making certain elements, such as text and buttons, stand out more prominently, aiding focus. Moreover, it minimizes screen glare in dimly lit settings, making it easier to work or read in such environments.

Surfac face colors

By default, the front face of a surface (normal direction) is shown in the layer color, and the back face is shown in purple. ( this functionality is available from the version 6.4, having installed the Rhino SR20 ) You can change the back face color in: Rhino Options > View > Display Modes > [active mode] > Backface settings.
