RhinoChelae

Rhino plugin · v0.11.2 · updated

Mechanism and constraint modelling inside Rhino. Define parts, connect them with hinge, slider, ball or fixed joints, then drag one and watch the whole linkage follow. Parts can also be chained freely, held together by shape alone. Motion sequences can be authored, played back and recorded. No Grasshopper definition, no keyframes.
