![]() ![]() Very often in work I take the iPad with technical drawings from the office to the workshop. Use the iPad Pro as a light “on the road” design tool (start a new design, sketching out ideas, dimensions, part features on the iPad while traveling, …) Use the iPad Pro as a presentation device (as current Rhino for iOS does but with far more flexible features with full Apple standardized file exchange via share button and iTunes) Use the extra tool of the Apple pencil on a great touch screen portable device to expand Rhino for Mac functionality (free hand drawing being the most obvious choice, but also being able to annotate, sketch, mark and modify Rhino for Mac designs, like being in a meeting, having a full 3D design on your Macbook Pro and then using the pencil to annotate, sketch and comment by hand in the same design on your iPad to communicate design changes, take meeting notes, …) This would allow for these major uses, expanding Rhino for Mac in functionality and making a portable device more powerful as a tool: computing intensive and advanced design modules can be left out (like 3D chamfering, filleting, advanced surface tools, …. ![]() all basic design tools should be there and functional.files from within Rhino for iOS should be able to be exchanged via the standard supported Apple methods via iTunes App file exchange and via iOS file share button method (share to Dropbox, Mail, AirDrop, … ).It should support its own file space, so Rhino files can be saved on the iPad Pro for presentation purposes (and even for design purposes without having a Mac around).The very least it should support Apple AirDrop (which can sometimes finicky, so this is not a way of transfer to rely solely on), it should do Dropbox, Mail and ideally a direct way of interchanging data with Rhino for Mac) I want to design in Rhino for Mac, a free hand curve is needed, so I open the iPad, start Rhino for iOS, draw the curve and transfer it over to Rhino for Mac with as few steps involved as possible. fast, wireless data connection with Rhino for Mac:.must have feature: same UI design (optimized for touch screen and pencil use, but visually and functionally similar to Rhino for Mac for a fluid workflow).modular purchase per in app purchases: say one person would want certain import/ export interfaces, others never need - let the user decide which app feature they would like to buy (and constantly add new features to the app as it develops, make new features in app purchases and throw the odd new feature in for free to keep users happy.no subscription but 1) a full free version with limited functionality (no export and import for example, but enough functionality for potential users to determine the use of the app and decide to buy or not to buy).Here is a few bullets that would be important to me with use cases: John, I also would be happy to pay for an app that would expand functionality of Rhino for Mac OS X. Maybe there are some quicker tools for example to translate the rather rough dxf input within Rhino into a smooth and workable resemblance of the actual sketch?Īre there any ways of adjusting the Rhino command Sketch to inherit less alterations and follow the sketching much more accurately? Please share your ideas and workflows or any input how to improve results. import the image file into Rhino for Mac and trace the image file with Rhino curve tools (the VERY laborious part I try to get rid of).transfer the image from the iPad to the Mac (AirDrop works reasonably well for this).sketch in ANY sketching app in iOS on the iPad (I prefer Concepts and ProCreate, both do have superior pencil feel and flow and allow for very precise sketching).There is also a MAJOR amount of correction put into the Sketch command which results in substantially altered shapes from how you actually lead the Apple Pencil on the iPad, not resulting in the actual shapes you are sketching.Ī third workflow I could think of to use (also including much more labour than I would want) is: The major issue with this second workflow is that the flow and feel of the Pencil is BY FAR not natural. ![]()
