Nick,

Unfortunately, there isn't currently a way to change the analysis units once they've been established.

You can explode the model to clear out the Scan&Solve data and join it back together to establish the new units. Of course you'll have to re-apply the restraints, loads and other settings.

There are many ways to model a chair in Rhino. This tutorial illustrates one approach to develop a modernist chair and the commands necessary to complete the task. First, open Rhino and change the scale units to imperial or metric. If you've drawn your concept.

  • Rhino allows the user to customize many settings such as units and grid spacing. In this video, learn how to view and change important units and scaling settings in any Rhino file.
  • In Rhino V5 and earlier most of Rhino's settings were not stored in external files, but in the registry.In Rhino V6, much of this info has been moved out of the registry into one or more.xml 'settings' files.However, in both cases, as there is not one single file that contains all options and personalizations, it's not a one-click operation to transfer your custom settings from one.
  • The controls for the Render Mesh (display mesh) settings are part of the.3dm file's properties. In Rhino for Windows they area at File Properties Mesh or Tools Options Mesh.In Rhino for Mac they are at File Settings Mesh. They are generally set globally for the whole model, but from V4 on, including Rhino for Mac, you can also override them on a per-object basis via the.

Out of curiosity, if Scan&Solve would modify the analysis units to always match the Rhino units (scaling the loads into the new units), would this be acceptable behavior?

HI:

It sounds like Scan and Solve is missing a 'clear results' command which

clears the current analysis results without having to re-apply the loads, contraints

or other settings.

So you would clear the current analysis results.

Change the units

Then do a new analysis

All, The installation failed in the second boot phase.

Change

Regarding 'clear results,' the [Purge] button on the Specify tab will clear solution results. It won't do anything for changes in units.

Try the latest version (1.4.1.8). It checks for a change in units in the Rhino document and prompts the user for guidance. It will also warn if unsupported length units are being used to model the geometry.

Thanks Michael. Since this is probably a rare occurrence it isn't necessary to have a feature for changing units.

Maybe a units item in the results tab and displaying the reaction forces will be enough to alert users to any inconsistencies. I only picked up on it when I checked the weight of the item. Those things are our human checks to see if it is being modelled and solved correctly, they're things that a computer can't really comprehend.
