Bklevickas 2014-12-11. Unable to change units from centimeters to feet I do it in the settings window but it does not change when I analyze a distance.

If you've enjoyed these tutorials and there's something specific you'd like us to cover in the future then contact us & let us know. To location the The Annotation scale setting, click the Tools menu, and Options. In the Rhino Options dialog, under Document Properties, pick Annotation Style. On the Annotation Style panel, Enable annotation space scale is here in Rhino 6. Enable model space scale is optional in Rhino 6. Rhino for Mac will always have a default command set with a fixed set of commands. When providing support, we may ask you to switch Rhino for Mac back to the default command set so there will not be any confusion about what a particular menu item or keyboard shortcut will do. To change the default command set, you must create a copy of it.

Nick,

Unfortunately, there isn't currently a way to change the analysis units once they've been established.

You can explode the model to clear out the Scan&Solve data and join it back together to establish the new units. Of course you'll have to re-apply the restraints, loads and other settings.

Out of curiosity, if Scan&Solve would modify the analysis units to always match the Rhino units (scaling the loads into the new units), would this be acceptable behavior?

EDIT: See my reply below.

HI:

It sounds like Scan and Solve is missing a 'clear results' command which

clears the current analysis results without having to re-apply the loads, contraints

or other settings.

So you would clear the current analysis results.

Change the units

Then do a new analysis

Thx,

Bob

All,

Regarding 'clear results,' the [Purge] button on the Specify tab will clear solution results. It won't do anything for changes in units.

Try the latest version (1.4.1.8). It checks for a change in units in the Rhino document and prompts the user for guidance. It will also warn if unsupported length units are being used to model the geometry.

Thanks Michael. Since this is probably a rare occurrence it isn't necessary to have a feature for changing units.

Maybe a units item in the results tab and displaying the reaction forces will be enough to alert users to any inconsistencies. I only picked up on it when I checked the weight of the item. Those things are our human checks to see if it is being modelled and solved correctly, they're things that a computer can't really comprehend.

regards,

Nick.

Document Properties: Linetypes

Manages the linetype patterns for the current model.

• Using linetypes displays curves using dashed or dotted.

• Linetypes are assigned as object
  and layer
  properties.

• Linetypes affect only curve objects – not surfaces, solids, or other object types.

To set linetypes on objects

• In the Object Properties dialog box, under Linetypes, click an option.

• The default object linetype is By Layer.

To set linetypes on layers

• In the Layers dialog box, in the Linetypes column, select an option.

• - or -

• Use the SetLayerLinetype command.

To define linetypes

• In the Document Properties dialog box, on the Linetypes page, use the controls to add a new type.

To use linetypes defined in another Rhino model

• Edit the linetype definition file linetypes_1033.txt (for English).

• Note: Linetype files are located in Documents and SettingsAll UsersApplication DataMcNeel…. You may need to display hidden files and folders to find this file.

• Import a model that contains the linetype definitions (this can be a blank model).

• Define linetypes in the template
  files.

• Copy
  a line with the linetype definition and paste
  it into your current model.

Options

How To Change Units In Rhino For Mac Os

Inches

Sets the display scale for linetypes to inches.

Millimeters

Sets the display scale for linetypes to millimeters.

Scale

Controls the scale used to display linetypes in the viewports. The Scale setting does not affect printing. If you have a dashed pattern (for example) defined as 1/2″ line followed by 1/2″ break, repeated; that is how it will appear on paper, when printed, without regard to print scale.

Pattern

Linetypes are defined by a comma-separated list of dash and gap lengths (in model units), always starting with a dash. A zero-length dash is a dot.

Delete

Deletes a linetype definition.
