Rhino 3d tutorial | Model a Parametric Facade (Step-by-Step)

Learn how to model a parametric architectural building facade in Rhino 3D from scratch! In this practical step-by-step exercise, we model a conceptual building structure (inspired by modern Oslo architecture) using powerful Rhino commands like Contour, Flow/Offset Surface, and CageEdit for dynamic geometric deformation. Whether you're an architecture student or a 3D computational designer, this tutorial walks you through setting up dimensions, generating structural lattice grids, and manipulating complex surfaces with ease. ⏱️ Timestamps / Chapters 0:00 – Project Introduction & Unit Setup 0:25 – Base Geometry & Corner Fillet 01:02 – Extrusion & Surface Offsetting 01:36 – Generating Structural Grid with Contour Command 02:36 – Surface Generation & Geometry Grouping 03:18 – Inner Core Modeling with Gumball 03:50 – Parametric Deformation Using CageEdit 04:52 – Final Result & Next Steps 🛠️ Key Rhino 3D Commands Covered: FilletCorners / Rounded Rectangle Curves OffsetSrf (Solid Surface Offsetting) Contour (Lattice / Grid Generation) SelCrV & Grouping Workflow (Ctrl + G) CageEdit & Bounding Box Manipulation 🔔 Subscribe for More Architecture & Computational Design Tutorials: If you found this exercise helpful, don't forget to Like, Subscribe, and hit the notification bell for more Rhino 3D, Grasshopper, and architectural modeling workflows! #Rhino3D #ParametricArchitecture #ArchitectureTutorial #RhinoTutorial #3DModeling #ComputationalDesign #ArchitecturalDesign
