Summary: Rhino Plug-in for Paneling NURBS Surfaces and Polysurfaces. This is work in progress (WIP).

PanelingTools supports creating paneling solutions from concept to fabrication. It is a McNeel plug-in that is closely integrated with Rhino and Grasshopper, and is widely used by architectural and other designers.

• Use the PackageManger command in Rhino 7, search for PanelingTools, download and install.

• PanelingTools comes installed with Rhino 7 for Mac in both Rhino and Grasshopper. There is no PanelingTools menu and you need to use command-line to run the commands (type “pt” and all the commands will auto-complete)

For documentation and examples, please check:

• PanelingTools Manual for detailed description of commands and options.
• PanelingTools for Grasshopper Manual includes tutorials and description of PT-GH components.
• Paneling Scripting page has a listing of paneling methods for RhinoScript.
• Paneling Tutorials page has links to video tutorials.
• Paneling Short Clips page has short video tutorials that covers the core functionality of PanelingTools.
• Paneling Gallery page has users' PanelTools projects.
• Single stroke font (optional). As a bonus feature, add this font to your Windows font directory. For example, in Windows 7, drag the RhSS.ttf file into Control Panel>Appearance and Personalization>Fonts. The font will then be accessible from Rhino. This type of font is used mainly to tag parts for laser cutting.
