Main Control

Main Control Options:

The main Control is the place where all operation will be placed, also manage the project settings and generate the final geometry,by default the main control doesn't have any operation.

Once RhinoEmboss is opened you'll see this options:

Add new operation: By clicking here a new operation will be added, if you have one ore more curves selected, them will be added to the operation, if you have any geometry selected the new operation will change automatically it's type to Based on geometry, and selected geometry will be add to this operation.

Recompute: By clicking here, all operations which it's settings or it's position has changed will be recalculated to generate the new geometry.

Show/Hide Geometry: By Clicking here you can switch the geometry visualization, if you have to modify a curve, or make any other modification is a good idea turn off the visualization.

Place Image: You can set a background image as a canvas to help you drawing curves, furthermore this image can be used with Carbon Copy operation to make a relief.

The image will maintains the aspect ratio, and it will be centered on your workbench.

Project Settings: You can access to the project setting by clicking in this icon. Details...

Save Heightfield Image:

Once the geometry is computed you can export a Height Map in GrayScale by clicking this button a Tagged Image File Format (.tiff) will be generated with the current project height-field map.

Save Project: You can save your project at any time by clicking this button, don't forget to save the 3dm file too.

Accept Button: It will create a Rhino geometry which will be added to current document, next RhinoEmboss will be closed, you can edit this geometry at any time by opening RhinoEmboss and selecting the project.

NOTE: In case the project Type selected is a mesh result (Mesh, Thickness, Symmetry, Core, Mold), before adding the geometry to the document, it will open the Decimator.

Cancel Button:It will close RhinoEmboss without add any geometry, anyway you'll be asked if you want to save the project.
