TerrainCAD for Rhino - Terrain modeling plug-in for Rhinoceros

TerrainCAD for Rhino is a terrain modeling plug-in for Rhino. This plug-in gives Rhino the ability to generate a terrain mesh from a set of unordered points, contours and polylines. The terrain mesh is created as a Delaunay Triangulation, which is regarded as the best method to create a terrain mesh from unorganized point data. TerrainCAD for Rhino can also import a set of points from a text file containing point coordinate data.

TerrainCAD for Rhino can solidify a terrain mesh by giving it thickness.

TerrainCAD for Rhino is designed to be extremely user friendly and easy to understand. Once installed, it automatically loads itself into the Rhino environment. If automatic loading fails there are manual loading instructions in the ReadMe file. Once loaded it adds new commands to Rhino's existing commands and a new submenu called "TerrainCAD" to the Rhino menu containing these newly added commands.

TerrainCAD for Rhino is powered by TerrainLib, a state of the art terrain mesh generation, editing and modeling library developed by SYCODE. TerrainLib employs blazing fast algorithms and cutting-edge technology to yield superior terrain models in very less time.

TerrainCAD for Rhino comes with detailed documentation for each command as well as a set of tutorials to get you started in the shortest possible time.
