These docs cover RhinoArtisan 7.0, which is still in beta. The contents are provisional: features and pages can still be added, changed or removed before the final release.

Standardize
Stdize is the command you run first on a model that did not start in
RhinoArtisan.
A file coming from Matrix, MatrixGold or RhinoGold carries that program’s own layer tree, names and conventions. The geometry arrives fine, but RhinoArtisan cannot tell a gem from a prong from a shank, because none of it is labelled the way it expects. Standardize rebuilds that: it puts the file on the standard layer structure and files the objects where they belong.
Once a model is standardized, the rest of RhinoArtisan works on it as if it had been modelled here — the gem tools count its stones, the reports list its metals, and Manufacturing can check and sprue it.
The two steps, on their own
Standardize does both in one pass. They are also in its submenu separately, for when a file only needs one of them:
- Create Layer’s Structure — builds the standard layer tree, without moving anything onto it.
- Organize Objects by Layers — moves the objects onto the layers they belong to.
