The Side bar is located at the left of the RhinoLands window and displays the most frequently used commands for editing and transforming objects, including points, curves, surfaces, and solids.

Sidebar commands:

Combination and Partition

  • Join Join: Connect curves, surface edges, or surfaces to form a single object.
  • Explode Explode: Break objects down into components.
  • Trim Trim: Cut and delete selected portions of an object at the intersection with another object.
  • Split Split: Divide objects using other objects as cutters.

Group and ungroup objects

  • Group Group: Organize objects into a single component..
  • Ungroup Ungroup: Remove the group status from objects.

Display control points

  • EditPtOn EditPtOn: Displays edit points on curves.
    • PointsOff PointsOff: Turn off control, edit, and solidpoints display.

    • PointsOff PointsOff: Turn off control, edit, and solidpoints display.

Transform objects

  • Move Move: Move objects from one location to another.
  • Copy Copy: Duplicate objects.
  • Rotate Rotate: Rotate objects around an axis perpendicular to the construction plane.
  • Scale Scale: Change the size of objects uniformly in the x, y, and z directions.
