This tutorial demonstrates to KTH Architecture students how to prepare a basic vector drawing and export it for laser cutting endeavours. The tutorial introduces a wide array of basic commands to use while drawing in Rhino, and showcases how to export the drawing as an .ai Illustrator file, for easy file handling when importing the file for laser cutting in the Digital Fabrication Lab.

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 is in the Architecture school 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 even one architecture student is helped by it in fulfilling deliverables requirements, the purpose of this tutorial is satisfactorily achieved. There might be inaccuracies in this tutorial video – if you identify any significant one, please tell us in the comments.
