Some useful tips about Rhinoceros views

Knowing how to manage Rhinoceros views could be helpful, not only to save time but also if you want to be more precise when you are launching a render.

  • First of all, be sure Named Views toolbar is open: here you can find all of your named views
  • Second: right click on the named view, you can see that there are some useful commands
  • Third: most important command -> Properties.

    Inside this command you can find 3 important parameters: Lens length, Z location, Z target

Lens length = photographers are completely aware of this characteristic. The bigger this value is, the less perspective and more flat your view will be. Standard Rhinoceros value is 50mm, anyway one common value used to simulate human eye is 35mm. This is a rough approximation, to know more search on the internet, or take a look here.
Z location = very simple, which is the height of the eyes’ viewer? In my case, my eyes are 160 cm high
Z location = where your eyes are pointing? In this case, I am looking right in front of me, not down, not higher.
