SlabFillet Solids
Select your floor slabs and get a uniform corner fillet on every one of them at once. A slider with a live preview shows the fillet range your slabs allow, with a vertical edge tolerance and an option to delete the originals.
Rhino 8 plugin / Completely Free
Slab fillets and mullions, automated.
How to Rhino Tools is a free plugin with four commands for the boring part of facade modeling. Fillet every slab in one go, cover flat, intersected, and curved surfaces with mullions, and see a live preview before anything is created.

Why How to Rhino Tools
Preview it. Tune it.
Create it once.
A 60-storey tower has dozens of slabs that need the same fillet and hundreds of mullions on a facade that keeps changing shape. Doing that by hand takes days. Each command in How to Rhino Tools opens a preview dialog: drag a slider, watch the geometry update in the viewport, and only click create when it looks right. The result lands on the layer you choose, cleaned up and ready to render.
Free, really
How to Rhino Tools is completely free.
No account, no credits, no trial. Install it from Rhino's built-in Package Manager and start using it on your own projects today. These commands were born inside our One Thousand Museum mini course, and we released them so everyone can skip the tedious part of facade modeling.
Install it nowThe commands
Four commands. All with live previews.
Type the command name in Rhino, select your geometry, and tune the result in a preview dialog before anything is created.
SurfaceMullions Surfaces
Turn any polysurface into a full mullion grid. Every edge becomes a mullion, evenly spaced face mullions fill the bays, and you control width, depth, maximum spacing, and the output layer from the preview dialog.
FloorMullions Slab intersections
For facades that step across floor plates, including zigzag faces. Select the surface and the slabs that intersect it, then center and balance mullions per face or force exact divisions so every bay reads the same.
CurveMullions Curved glass
Mullions for doubly curved surfaces. Pick the surface, the curves lying on it that mark your divisions, and an optional reference direction curve, and the command builds the grid following the surface.

Where it comes from
Watch these commands get built, live.
We wrote all four commands with Codex, on camera, while modeling Zaha Hadid's One Thousand Museum in Miami for a How to Rhino Premium mini course. The recording shows the whole process, prompts, bugs, and back-and-forth included, so you can learn to build your own Rhino tools the same way. Then we used them to fillet 62 floors of slabs and cover the whole facade with mullions.

Which Rhino versions are supported?
Rhino 8 on Windows and Mac. Rhino 7 is not supported.
What exactly do the commands do?
SlabFillet puts a uniform corner fillet on every slab you select. SurfaceMullions builds a mullion grid on any polysurface. FloorMullions handles facades that intersect floor plates, including zigzag faces. CurveMullions follows doubly curved surfaces using your division curves. All four show a live preview before creating anything.
How were these commands made?
We wrote them with Codex, live on camera, during our One Thousand Museum mini course in How to Rhino Premium. The mini course shows the whole process, prompt by prompt, so you can learn to build your own Rhino tools the same way.
