Ring Wizard

First, we’ll go to the Jewellery tab and select Ring

Wizard tool, define a ring of 2.00 x 5.00 in higher

profile and 2.00 x 2.25 on the lower profile.

1 Parametrical Isocurves

Then, we’ll select the Paramtrical Isocurves tool,

from Modelling tab and define the central curve of

the ring with an opening of 6 mm at the top.

2

Extend Curve Smooth

Now, we’ll lengthen the ends of the central curve

with the Extende Curve Smooth tool, in the Drawing

tab.

3 Dynamic Profile

In this step, we’ll apply a Dynamic Profile in the pre-

vious curve from Jewellery tab. We’ll efine a dyna-

mic profile of 1.00 x 3.00 in higher profiles and a third profi-

le adjust it to the thickness at the ring bottom site.

Solitary Love Ring

In this tutorial we’ll try some of the more useful commands in

RhinoGold. Powerful tools such as Ring Wizard, Dynamic Pro-

file, Gem Studio, Curve Shell and Gems by Curve.

Gem Studio

A continuación, definiremos una gema de 4.00 mm

en la parte superior del aro, utilizando la herramien-

ta Estudio de Gemas.

5 Smart Curve

En este paso, trazaremos una curva con forma de

corazón de 3mm desde la vista frontal, con la he-

rramienta Curva Inteligente, en la pestaña de Dibujo.

6

Curve Shell

Now, we’ll select the Curve Shell tool in the Mode-

lling tab and apply it in the curve traced above,

defining a solid of 1mm in thick.

7 Symmetry Vertical

Then, we’ll apply a symmetry to the heart-shaped

solid, use the Symmetry Vertical tool at the Trans-

form tab.

8

Parametrical Isocurves

In this step, we’ll repeat the operation with Parame-

trical Isocurves tool and define a curve in the center

of the dynamic profile as shown in the picture.

9 Dynamic Profile

Now, we’ll apply a Dynamic Profile of 0.60 x 2.20 to

the previous curve to use it as cutting object.

Symmetry Horizontal

Then, we’ll apply a symmetry to the dynamic profile

defined in the previous step with the Symmetry Hori-

zontal tool.

11 Boolean Difference

In this step, we’ll apply a Boolean Difference bet-

ween dynamic profiles to subtract them from the

surface.

12

Extract Isocurves

Now, select the Extract Isocurves tool, in Modelling

tab and apply it on the surface of the dynamic

profile, extracting the central curve as shown in the ima-

ge.

13 Gems by Curve

Then, we’ll define 5 gemstones along the traced

curve with the Gems by Curve tool from Gems tab.

14

Prongs in Line

In this step, we’ll apply the prongs to the gems with

Prongs in Line tool, at the Jewellery tab.

15 Symmetry Horizontal

Now, we’ll apply a Symmetry to the gems and

prongs with the Symmetry Horizontal tool.

Cutter

Then, we’ll define the cutters to the gems using the

Cutter tool, in the Jewellery tab.

17 Boolean Difference

In this step, we’ll apply a Boolean Difference to sub-

tract the cutters from the ring surface.

18

Boolean Union

Finally, we’ll apply a Boolean Union between all

solids to unify the piece.
