Command Reference

spherene Toolbar
tip

Commands are accessible by:

  • The spherene menu
  • The toolbar
  • The spherene inspector
  • The rhino commandline (just type sphe_ to see all commands available)

Drive the outcomes of spherene using commands. Spherene is a space filling algorithm and grows from within a given volume. As Volume you need to specify a starting geometry, the env, envelope, then you can add field points & geometries, modifiers and other controls to design.

Commands are categorized as follows:

Using the Rhino Command Line

Just start typing sphe_to see all available spherene commands.

spherene Commands

The Envelope (env)

The envelope, denoted as env, describes the outermost surface of the geometry. It's the primary input geometry from which a spherene is generated.

tip

The env is the volume that will be filled with spherene

When creating a new project, the env is placed in the meshes/env layer and named sphe_envautomatically.

Specifications

  • Only one env can exist per project.
  • Is user-chosen when creating a new project.
  • Describes the geometry of an object (the outermost surface).
  • Is a triangulated solid.
  • Is used for trimming the raw ADMS.
