Download the New Orca3D 1.4 WIP

A new Orca3D Work-in-Progress (WIP) is now available. This new version (1.4 WIP 2014-04-15) will expire on August 5th, 2014.

Please note that this release no longer supports Rhino 4. 
This and future Orca3D WIP releases require Rhino 5.

This release includes:

• A new hull assistant for creating developable surface models. This assistant takes a new approach to the developable surface problem and is based on a composition of conic and cylindrical surface patches that guarantees to form a mathematically developable surface model. See the Orca3D Help File for a detailed discussion of the new developable surface functionality.
• Fixed a bug in the Orca tree view which caused a crash in Rhino 5.
• Fixed some error condition message handling in Orca3D hydrostatics.
• Addressed a units and persistence issue related to overriding the initial plane height for free float hydrostatics in the Orca3D design condition.

RhinoPolyhedra update available

The RhinoPolyhedra plug-in for Rhinoceros 5 will allow you to create and visualize a variety of polyhedral shapes; over 400 different shapes.

RhinoPolyhedra supports both 32-bit and 64-bit Rhinoceros 5.

The RhinoPolyhedra plug-in has three commands:

Polyhedron. Creates a variety of polyhedra.
PolarZonohedron. Creates a polar zonohedron.
SelPlanarSrf. Selects planar surfaces.

RhinoPolyhedra is free!

Version 1.0.14108.445 adds 16 additional prisms & antiprisms and dipyramids & trapezohedra shapes.
