Solids in Rhino3D are closed polysurfaces.  Our first exercise this week will look at boolean solids tools. The split command treats your model as if it were hollow whereas the booleansplit command treats your model as if it were solid. Our first exercise this week will be to draw some Swiss cheese. 

Subdivision surfaces were recently introduced in the latest version of Rhino that was released in late 2020. I’ll show you how NURBS and SubD differ and for this exercise you can draw an animal of your choice.
