Summary
Car bodies, wheels, stick shifts, and so many other things are not simply assorted radii and straight lines. Instead, these objects are free-form shapes, which are particularly difficult to create/design in the world of parametrics. It is these shapes that Rhino excels at creating. Rhino, from Robert McNeel & Associates, is an extremely inexpensive, Windows-based, free-form 3D modeling program that handles non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) curves, surfaces, and solids. It also supports non-manifold geometry and polygon meshes. Because it doesn't use parametrics, you can create shapes and solids that you otherwise couldn't create in conventional solids modelers.
