In this tutorial we will try out a few more useful commands in RhinoGold. Very powerful tools as Ring Wizard, Gem Studio, Text On Curve and Boolean Operations.
Under the Drawing tab with the Ring Wizard tool we can define our rings rim, in this case with 1,5mm height and 4mm width. Its important to know the ring size for further operations.
Ring Wizard
The next step, under the Drawing tab, with the Rectangle tool in the top view to create a cut section. In the commands line we should activate the options center and rounded.
Rectangle
Now, under the Modelling tab, we can use the Extrude tool to create a solid from the curve created previously, it's important to make the extrusion in the top direction and above the rings rim.
Extrude
Then, still under the Modelling tab we can run the Boolean Difference tool to remove the cut section from our ring.
Boolean Difference
Now, under the Jewellery tab with the Gem Studio tool we can create a Gem according to our needs, in this case with 2,3mm diameter.
Gem Studio
The next step is to define a cutter for the Gem. For this, still under the Jewellery tab with the Cutter Studio tool, we should select the gem and define the parameters.
Cutter Studio
Now its time to remove the cutter from the ring, for this, under the Modelling tab run the Boolean Difference tool and complete the process.
Boolean Operations
Then, under the Drawing tab with the Text On Curve tool, select the curve who defines the ring size and adjust all the parameters as needed. The result shoud be a solid for each letter. To create this curve, the Gauge option can be used, or to create a section in the central part of the ring.
Text On Curve
The final step to finish this ring is to remove the letters from the ring to create the engraved section. For this, use once again the Boolean Difference tool under the Modelling tab.
