Rhino 7 is used by business and hobbyist designers, engineers, and animators, as well as schools and online learners. This design software can be used by artists, consultancies, and inventors, too.
With Solid Edge, small and medium businesses have access to industry-leading, professional product development software -- with flexible licensing to meet your budget needs.
The best of Rhino are: 3D complex modeling is good, is amazing with grasshopper (parametric modeling) and work well with v ray (render).
Rhino 6 gives errors when drawing. It is also difficult to make changes to the model due to a lack of construction history.
This is a terrific drawing/modeling program. Potential of this software is actually limitless with the availability of great tools and customization.
There are still frustrations with occasional failed procedures. E.g., boolean operations, chamfers and fillets, etc.).
Overall Rhino gets the job done and it good quality. Well worth the money to be able to produce clean renderings.
Difficult to change and modificate textures on models.
The nurbs modeling tool helps in better designing of complex models. The 3D visualization and rendering offered are great for design discussions to final model presentation and 3D printing.
It is relatively limited compared to 3ds Max or other similar softwares in terms of material library or add-on scripts.
The drawing options are very good and quality drafts are produced in very little time. The software is more powerful and stable than some other brands and the support staff in Australia is fantastic.
The user interface of this software is bit messy which makes its user to get bored soon. The software is very confusing to learn and operate.
It is easy to understand, the user interface is wonderful and is very easy to use. It gives an in depth knowledge of designing of products.
The software should not proceed for next design steps if there is error in sketching.
Solid Edge is Simple yet Advanced CAD Software, It is best for beginners because its interface is simple and features are also easy to learn. You can easily Perform 2D to 3D designs.
For example, cutting several shapes at once in the model - when using the cut tool. Maybe I don't like it because I used to work with other software before and it worked differently.
I would recommend Solid Edge to anyone looking for robust and capable design software.
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) or stress simulation cannot be done in this software.
Yasmine E.: I'm Yasmine, a naval architect. My company is 20 people and I'm here to rate Rhino Seven as five stars. I use Rhino on a daily basis for 3D modeling for already existing ship plans. What I like about Rhino is the 3D modeling features that it provides and how this is compared to other softwares in the market. I can find it the best 3D modeling in my field, software around. Sometimes I don't find it easy to import data and export data from the application, so this is the feature that I think that could do better with some improvement.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
