Rhinoceros

plugin development

Introduction

Recently Sunnypowers has started developing custom plugins for the NURB modelling system Rhinoceros.

BiminiGenie

This plugin automatically generates a bimini shade according to specified hoop dimensions. It is then possible to use Rhino commands to flatten the 3D bimini into cutting templates. The plugin is still under development, but if you are interested in finding out more, please contact us.
