You can after making the boolean difference use contour lines then extruded it over the Z direction. Just two steps to get that result. But also I like the assimply method to do that. Nice work !
I've just finished a transport interior project with SubD in WIP7 Rhino, other than a few missing functions like welding verticies ande merging edges this feels like it is going to be much better than Tsplines because it is much more aligned with Rhino logic, eg you can shift/control to grab edges verts or faces and then LMB, drag and control to create new geometry... It looks like Rhino 7 is going to be what we were all hoping for in Rhino 6
Hi Braden! Yes, I couldn't agree more with you. I think the main thing is to test WIP as much as possible and especially the sub-d tools and report back to McNeel forum so they can iterate and perfect the tools much sooner. There are many other things that they are adding each week. It's really exciting to see this getting implemented! Feel free to share your project, I can feature it on How to Rhino Instagram page :)
@@HowtoRhino I would love to share because it has turned out great but the IP is sensitive because it it commercial work, perhaps I could do a 'different enough' for display version. A frustration is that because you are using control shift so much you can accidently throw your planar (top, right front) views into a perspective rotated view and then continualy have to reset them...
@@bradenwilson Yea, understood. Make sure to hit me up via email if you'd like to share the work when you change it. I share the same frustration, I know what you mean. It's a bit annoying but I've got used to working only in perspective so I don't have those problems anymore.
Hi Dusan i always appreciate to suggest cool & easy & free tutorial to the world. During i was following up your tutorial, i stuck at one issue. which is that the list item for one edge doesn't select one edge as same location as you did. The selected edge is at Y direction. so i can not cut up surface to z direction afterward. Q is how can i change the location of selection to where i want to. or how can i choose as same location as you had. Please let me know that answer and Thank you.

Not exactly, SubD is a separate geometry type, it has it's own grasshopper component, but it can be transformed into brep if you convert it to nurbs object :)
Isn't it easier to just take your cut geometry, contour it, use boundary surfaces, flatten the geometry, then extrude? I made a similar project with that method. My question is which method is better and uses less computational power from your computer?
Hi Tyler, thanks for your comment! Both versions work in a similar way. I just tested both versions and the speed is varied on both, sometimes version 1 is faster, sometimes version 2, so in this particular case I wanted to show more components and to show how they work with each other. Cheers!
@@HowtoRhino Thanks for the response! I appreciate you showing different methods, it could help lead to better results in the future, keep up the great work :)
Thanks... Hello, Yes, but Could you use the glasses_plugin_grasshopper_to display the names of the commands in Grasshopper?’ Where can i find the definition Grasshopper?...in Patreon ?.... Thanks Greetings
@@HowtoRhino Thanks for your tutorial. I installed Rhino 7 WIP but in GH I can't find the SubD component anywhere. Do I have to install a newr GH version as well?
okay for the form … could have been more organic to show the capabilties of SubD do not agree that SubD as it is right now is better than Tsplines ! But progressing … still a pretty long way For the part with GH you don't need Brep analysis and move by series. You can simply make contours & set the interval like u want with a slider then extrude all curves with the same interval
T-spline is a plugin for Rhino 5 that was used to create free-form and amorphic geometry. You can check some of my other tutorials where t-spline was used. For example this one: ua-cam.com/video/f0VaL9dWmdo/v-deo.html However, it is not supported anymore and these new Sub-D tools are a great substitution!

I was wondering about this. I usually just use Weaverbird to do this. Is the dev version still available for Rhino 6 users?
So fantastic 🌹
Glad you like it Mahmoud!
Cool ! how do you get this kind of visuals at the end of the tutorial! ? model+background+shadow? is it a tool or on illustrator?
You can get these effects by playing around with Rhino display modes, especially Arctic display mode :)
Hi, thanks so much for the video!! I have one question, so those it mean that the subD works same as brep in grasshopper?
Not exactly, SubD is a separate geometry type, it has it's own grasshopper component, but it can be transformed into brep if you convert it to nurbs object :)
or just use the contour node in gh or rhino. instead of hiding and showing nodes, click show selected only green cylinder on top right.
Hi Constantinos! Yes, that's a great tip! Thanks for sharing :D

And it would be nice to be able to cage edit the SubD
I think this is coming soon as well!
Cool. Is it possible to bridge faces like in t splines?
Yes it is! There's a new command called "bridge" :D
Thanks...
Hello,
Yes, but Could you use the glasses_plugin_grasshopper_to display the
names of the commands in Grasshopper?’
Where can i find the definition Grasshopper?...in Patreon ?....
Thanks

Hi Claudio, yes, the definition is located at this post on my Pateron page www.patreon.com/posts/31513777
You can download all the files from there.
Will there be any way to reference the SubD faces, edges, and vertices from within GH?
Sure, you can do so by using Deconstruct Brep component and then list item:

@@HowtoRhino Thanks for your tutorial. I installed Rhino 7 WIP but in GH I can't find the SubD component anywhere. Do I have to install a newr GH version as well?
Sorry, I found it.
How do you bring up the SubD toolbar?
Right click on an empty toolbar space > show toolbars > choose "sub d tools"
@@HowtoRhinoI tried this and it doesn't appear in the list...
It doesn't appear on mine too
@@lungiswachris8444 Do you have the latest Rhino 7 WIP version?
sorry, can someone can help me:
how can I show od the subD tools palette?
It only works with Rhino 7.
At least use bifocals plugin, it will help us to see the names in grasshopper. otherwise it is very difficult to understand that what are you doing.
All our newer tutorials, have Bifocals plugin included :)
