Extrude Ring
In this tutorial we will try out some of the most useful com-
mands in RhinoGold. Powerful tools as Gem Studio, Ring Size
Creator and Bend Deformation.
Ring Size Creator
1 Under the Jewellery tab, with the Gauge tool, we
can choose our ring size. In this case it is the number
16 from European standard measures. The result is a circle
with our desired diameter.
Line / Trim
3 Now, we will create an horizontal line with the com-
mand Line under the Drawing tab, about 7mm abo-
ve from the center. Next, we can cut the top part of the
circle with the Trim command.

Gem Studio
2 Now, under the Gems tab we can use the Gem
Studio tool to create a Gem, in this case with 5mm
diameter. It’s important to leave about 1mm distance
from the ring size as the above image. The grid can be a
great visual aid.
Curve / Symmetry Horizontal / Auto Connect
4 With the Curve command (Drawing), we can make
a curve. Running the command we can activate
the Start Tangent option and then click at the end of the
arc. Once we have the curve, we can use the command
symmetry horizontal to create the other side curve. When
done, use the command Auto Connect to join.
 Offset
5 Now, still under the Drawing tab, with the Offset
tool, in the front view, to create an outside curve, in
this case with a 1,5mm distance from the original.
Extrude
7 After defined the previous parameters, we need to
Extrude the curves to create a solid. For that, run the
Extrude command under the Modelling tab, in this case
with 2,5mm for both sides. The Solid option must be acti-
vated.
Tube
9 With the command Tube (Modelling), we will create
a tube. First select an origin point, then 2.5mm outer
radius, inner radius 1.5mm and 1mm thick. Use the Gum-
ball transformer to position the tube under the gem.

Blend / Auto Connect
6 Then we should select the curves and run the Blend
tool, under the Drawing tab, to define the ring’s top
section. Then run the Auto Connect command to unite all
the curves in a single one.
Taper Deformation
8 Now from the Right viewport, we can stretch forth
the bottom with the Taper tool. The concept is very
simple, the first two points are on the axis of symmetry, the
following item (3) is the reference distance. Do not forget
to activate the Flat option.
Boolean Union
10 The final step, in the Modelling tab, with the Boolean
Union tool, we can unite both parts in a closed solid.
