ShrinkWrap creates a watertight mesh around open or closed meshes, NURBS geometry, SubD, and point clouds.

ShrinkWrap is ideal for creating:

• Meshes for 3D printing.
• A solid union mesh from multiple objects.
• A solid mesh from 3D scan data fragments.
• Meshes without internal self-intersections.
• Offset meshes for shelling.
• Meshes from point clouds when reverse engineering.
• Valid closed meshes from broken or often hard-to-repair geometry.

SubD Creases

For designers who need to explore organic shapes quickly, SubD is a new geometry type that can create editable, highly accurate shapes.Unlike other geometry types, SubD combines free-form accuracy while still allowing quick editing. New in 8 SubD Creases create a feature between a smooth and a sharp edge, great for making fillet-like features. Accurate, organic modeling just got easier. Push and pull to explore complex, free-form shapes in realtime. SubD objects are highly accurate and can be converted directly to manufacturable solids. You can also convert scan or mesh data into SubD objects, then optionally to NURBS.

Rhino 8 adds new features to make modeling more playful and accessible. Combining these tools reduces friction for common solid creation/editing tasks. This allows you to stay in single Perspective view while modeling.

• PushPull simplifies and speeds up Solid Modeling by using curves to add or remove volumes from existing geometry.
• Inset offsets edges inward on a mesh, SubD, or polysurface face: an easy way to make sub-faces that can be
  PushPulled to define a concept in a few clicks.
  
  

Keep Your Perspective
Smarter CPlanes automatically align to eligible selections. It’s now easier to place and edit geometry in the right orientation,
without having to cycle through multiple views.
