Rhinoceros 8 Jun 2026

This deprecates the old reliance on IronPython (stuck in Python 2.7 specifications) and opens up the ecosystem to powerful external data analysis and automation libraries like NumPy, Pandas, and SciPy. This makes it easier to use external code editors like Visual Studio Code or PyCharm to script complex geometric pipelines or execute unit testing frameworks like PyTest.

Use Rhino 8 for free-form industrial design, complex surfaces, and 3D printing. Use SolidWorks for mechanical assemblies. Use Blender for animation and VFX.

Leverage the new and Reflected Ceiling Plans to generate architectural drawings directly from 3D models.

Long a staple of solid modelers (like SketchUp or Fusion 360), Rhino 8 introduces a robust, Gumball-powered push-pull workflow. You can now select a face, edge, or curve and intuitively move, extrude, or offset it. It works on surfaces, polysurfaces, and even subD objects. This bridges the gap between precise NURBS and quick, exploratory modeling. This deprecates the old reliance on IronPython (stuck

Develop high-quality by using custom hatch swatches as materials rather than just applying them as 2D fills.

Creating accurate reflected ceiling plans (RCPs) and orthographic layouts is fully automated, giving draftspeople the direct control over drafting presentation styles they need for architectural deliverable standards. Diverse Industry Implementation Use SolidWorks for mechanical assemblies
