SYCODE Launches MeshCAD For Rhino

Panaji - 10th May, 2006 - SYCODE today launched MeshCAD for Rhino, a mesh editing and modeling plug-in for Rhinoceros. Powered by MeshLib, MeshCAD for Rhino employs robust algorithms to create and modify meshes. MeshCAD for Rhino adds several commands to Rhino. These commands can be easily invoked from Rhino using the MeshCAD menu which is appended to the main Rhino menu.

The features of MeshCAD for Rhino can be broadly classified as:

Mesh Creation: MeshCAD for Rhino can create a mesh from a set of unorganized points. These points can describe the top surface (such as a points data from a geographical survey) or they can describe a closed object.

Mesh Editing: Often meshes need to be manually edited for various reasons. MeshCAD for Rhino makes this very easy by offering a host of commands to edit vertices, edges, faces and entire meshes.

Mesh Modeling: MeshCAD for Rhino also offers several mesh modeling commands. These commands help in altering the general topology of the mesh thereby making it suitable for further operations. Mesh modeling commands include extrude, chamfer, offset, smooth, cut, slice, shell, face reduction, etc.

Mesh Data Extraction: MeshCAD for Rhino is capable of extracting key geometric information from meshes such as boundary edges, holes, surfaces, shells, etc.

Mesh Tools: These are the utility commands related to meshes.

About Rhinoceros

Rhinoceros is an affordable NURBS modeling software for Windows from Robert McNeel & Associates. Over the years Rhinoceros has made its mark as a perfect companion to all the major CAD systems. Rhinoceros is best suited for NURBS-based conceptual design, free-form curve, surface, solid and polygon mesh terrain modeling for architects, landscape designers, site planners and surveyors.

McNeel has taken the best features of all the major CAD systems and integrated them into Rhinoceros thereby making it one of the easiest CAD systems to work with. The extensive API provided by McNeel allows developers to extend its capabilities to new levels.
