Rhino Unit Converter

About This Tool

The Rhino Unit Converter provides precise cross-unit translations for length, area, and volume within Rhino CAD workflows. It targets designers, engineers, and architects who model in Rhino and must maintain consistent units across modeling, documentation, and export tasks. Users typically need to convert a dimension from millimeters to inches for shop drawings, translate an area from square meters to square feet for cost estimation, or scale a volume for material planning. The tool is designed as a lightweight, computation-only component with no UI assumptions beyond the calculation logic.\n\nConceptually, the tool maps input values to a common base unit (meters for length, square meters for area, cubic meters for volume) and applies standard conversion factors to the target unit. It supports both metric and imperial units and enforces domain compatibility (length to length, area to area, volume to volume). Outputs are numeric values with a clearly indicated target unit, formatted to a configurable precision. It is intended to integrate with Rhino workflows where units must be aligned across modeling, documentation, and export assets.\n\nUnique value and use cases: It minimizes rework by providing immediate, accurate results for frequent Rhino-user conversions, supports batch-ready outputs for documentation pipelines, and reduces errors due to inconsistent unit systems between design and fabrication teams. Core features include a maintained unit database, strict domain validation, and straightforward numeric results suitable for scripting or manual checks in Rhino projects. Typical use cases include dimension checks, BOM estimates, and cross-department data exchange.
