Timestamps:

0:01 [Tip 1] Use ZE and ZS to quickly find your way to objects
0:40 [Tip 2] Work close to the origin to reduce precision errors
1:02 [Tip 3] In Rhino, the location of the origin may be input as "0"
1:22 [Tip 4] The Gumball tool may be used for easy manipulations
2:16 [Tip 5] Use BoundingBox to verify the dimensions of the selection
2:42 [Tip 6] The Scale command accepts fractions (1/x) as input
3:14 [Tip 7] You don't *see* BRep surfaces, you see proxy meshes
3:41 [Tip 8] Use SelLast to select the most recently generated selection set
4:23 [Tip 9] Use Mesh with custom settings to have more control over the mesh
4:50 [Tip 10] Use ViewCaptureToFile (in Arctic) for quick massing visualizations

Utilized Rhino commands (in chronological order):

ZE – Zoom viewport to extents (visible objects)
CTRL+A – Select all visible (and non-locked) objects
ZS – Zoom viewport to selected objects
M – Move
SolidPtOn – Shows edit points for surfaces and polysurfaces
ESC – Deselects selection and disables visibility of edit points
CTRL+Z – Undo last operation
BoundingBox – Create box containing selected geometry, and state dimensions of the boundary
Scale – Scales the selection
ExtractRenderMesh – Creates a duplicate of the proxy mesh of any selected BRep containing surfaces
SelLast – Selects most recently generated selection set
Mesh – Create a mesh from BRep with custom settings
ViewCaptureToFile – "Screenshot deluxe"; Captures the viewport with custom settings regarding resolution and background transparency
CTRL+H – Hide selected object(s)

The title of this video is slightly misleading:
This tutorial contains more than 10 tips, in less than 10 minutes, after almost 10 years of experience in Rhino.

This tutorial introduces to KTH Architecture students a set of quick tips for working with Rhino, presented within a fictional scenario of preparing for and producing a quick massing visualization.

The operating system used for this tutorial is Windows 10. Running another operating system (e.g. Linux, MacOS) might amount to a different user experience or software incompatibility.

If you want to check in which computer room(s) any relevant software might be installed in – CADLAB, DFL, and ARCPLAN are in the KTH School of Architecture building – please check the following link for current status:

Disclaimer:
This tutorial aims to increase student awareness of the versatility of the digital tools available for use within the context of the architectural education offered by KTH. As such, it might not be generally applicable, but on the other hand, if at least one architecture student is helped by it in fulfilling deliverables requirements or being taught something of genuine interest, the purpose of this tutorial is satisfactorily achieved. There might be inaccuracies in this tutorial – if you identify any significant one, please tell us in the comments.
