Create curves, surfaces, and solids

Draw lines and curves—starting objects

Create curves from other objects—extract surface edges, blend, fillet, chamfer

Draw point objects—mark locations in space

Create surfaces—Rhino building blocks

Create solid objects—basic solids spheres, boxes, ellipsoids

Fillet, blend, or chamfer between curves and surfaces

Edit curves, surfaces, and solids

Select objects for editing

Move objects and parts of objects

Edit curves—reshape and refine

Undo and redo actions

Boolean objects—union, difference, intersection

Split and trim curves and surfaces

Copy and duplicate objects

Array objects—rectangular, polar, and linear arrays

Copy and duplicate objects, surface edges, layers

Transform objects

Transform objects—move, copy, rotate, scale, orient
