Rhino: Basic Interface Navigation

INTERFACE.

Rhino’s interface consists of a menu bar, a command window, toolbars and sidebars, panels, viewports, and an object snap (osnap) toolbar. Each of these interface components allows you to communicate information with Rhino in different ways. Usually, the Command prompt includes information about what Rhino expects you to do next – it’s good practice to check the Command prompt for instructions.

VIEWPORTS.

Viewports are windows through which your model is made simultaneously visible from different vantage points and in different projections. There are four viewports by default.

Double-clicking a viewport title will toggle between a full-screen and a tiled view.

Useful viewport-related commands:
