Components
On this tab you can find commands to create other jewelry components such as beads, bails, bangles, among other. Here you even have tools to make 2Shapes recognize custom geometry as Elements.
This command opens the Elements window, where all your elements saved on your 2Shapes account are kept.
Once you run this command, you can click on the labels on the left to open them or click on an element to add them to your design on 2Shapes for Rhino.
The chosen element will be listed on the Outliner toolbar.

On the parameters, you can choose to have your bangle open or closed as well as define its size. Also, below you can find the shape, its measurements, and the option to its back flat or curved for each of its 3 sections.
When you confirm your changes, the Bangle will be listed on the Outliner toolbar.
Using this command you can create a custom Element following a curve, and use multiple shapes on multiple points along the curve. Ideal to make decorative elements, or sleek and amazing jewelry pieces.
When you run this command, it will ask you to select the curve you want to work with.
Running this command will display its parameters in the Commands toolbar. Your first step should be to choose whether you want to start working on a Standard style provided by 2Shapes, or an Organization style you have previously created.
After running the command, you can choose the curve you want to use with the left selection square, and optionally an object for your piece to be oriented to with the right selection square. Below, you can find the icons to add profiles one by one, or multiple automatically. You can also hide or show the geometry being generated with the right-most icon.
All profiles created will be listed on the Parameters menu. To their right you will find three icons; to duplicate, edit, or delete that profile. Additionally, you can move, rotate, and change the profile measurements using the gumballs on your viewport.
You will need to have at least 2 profiles created in order to generate valid geometry.
When you confirm your changes, the Profile object will be listed on the Outliner toolbar.
With this command, you can generate milgrain running down a selected curve. It's especially useful to achieve a vintage touch to any design you add this to.
Running this command will display its parameters in the Commands toolbar.
On its parameters, you can change the diameter of each sphere, the overlapping distance in millimeters between spheres, and whether you want it to start and end in the curve's limits or at the very end.
When you confirm your changes, the Milgrain will be listed on the Outliner toolbar.
With this command, you can generate a rope pattern running down a selected curve. It's especially useful to give a creative touch to any design you add this to, or even achieve some sailor-themed style.
Running this command will display its parameters in the Commands toolbar.
On its parameters, you can change the diameter of each thread, the whole rope width, the amount of thread, and the number of turns from start to finish. Also, if you have selected a closed curve, you can enable Infinite to make the rope seamless.
When you confirm your changes, the Rope will be listed on the Outliner toolbar.
Using this command, you can generate a hinge mechanism on almost any solid object, so as to allow it to open and close. It's especially useful to make closed bracelets and other pieces that require this motion.
Running this command will display its parameters in the Commands toolbar.
On its parameters, you can find the selection square that allows you to choose which object you want to make the hinge on, and then select the point where to generate the hinge. Below, you can find the various measurements, the number of male inserts, the opening angle, the direction it opens, and also an option to flip the direction is facing currently.
This command allows you to select an object and replicate it the number of rows and columns you want. It's ideal for quickly creating a large array of the same object, generating rich, beautiful patterns.
Running this command will display its parameters in the Commands toolbar.
On its parameters, you can find two selection squares: the left one allows you to choose which object you want to replicate, and the right one allows you to select a surface to fill with the pattern. Below you can find fields to define the number of rows and columns to generate, the margins to leave at each face, their rotation, an option to reverse their orientation, the distance in millimeters above or below the original surface, and their maximum thickness.
With this command, you can select a closed curve, and 2Shapes will fill it with a random and unique Voronoi pattern. It's especially useful for filling up hollowed designs and creating gorgeous organic-like patterns.
Running this command will display its parameters in the Commands toolbar.
After running this command, you can select the closed curve you want to use by clicking on the selection square. Below you can find the parameters such as the branching's thickness, its height, and all its measurements.
You can click on the Refresh button anytime to generate a new random pattern. Note that you can't recover the previous pattern.
When you confirm your changes, if the Voronoi object has some height, it will be listed on the Outliner toolbar.
With this command, you can select a closed curve, and 2Shapes will fill it with a Honeycomb pattern. It's especially useful for filling up hollowed designs and creating gorgeous geometric patterns.
Running this command will display its parameters in the Commands toolbar.
After running this command, you can select the closed curve you want to use by clicking on the selection square. Below you can find the parameters such as the honeycomb thickness, its height, and all its measurements.
When you confirm your changes, if the Honeycomb object has some height, it will be listed on the Outliner toolbar.
This is a resource-intensive command that requires your computer to make heavy processing. We suggest only using this command when other programs on your device are closed.
Using this command you can select a surface, and cover it with an amazing Texture 3D, a three-dimensional interpretation of a 2D texture using it as a heightmap. It's especially useful to apply complex texturing to your designs.

Running this command will display its parameters in the Commands toolbar.
You can choose which texture you want to use by clicking on the left selection square, this will open your available textures. With the right selection square, you can choose which object you want to apply the Texture 3D to. Below you can find the measurements of the texture, from its stretching in U and V, its displacement, height, and rotation. You also have the option to align the texture in its four corners or mirror it on two axes. At the bottom, you can find the Resolution slider, which lets you adjust the quality of the resulting texture.
To create the Texture 3D, click on the Refresh button. Once the preview is being displayed, you can click on the Confirm changes button.
When you confirm your changes, the Texture 3D will be listed on the Outliner toolbar.
With this command, you can select any geometry and make 2Shapes recognize it as an Element.
Once you run this command, you will be asked to select which object you wish to be a Bespoke Element. After clicking on it, you will need to type in a name for it.
After that, your Bespoke Element will be listed on the Outliner toolbar with the name you have set.
With this command, you can synchronize the changes made to a Bespoke Element, and save it on 2Shapes Design, along with your other elements.
After running this command, you will be asked to select the Bespoke Element you want to synchronize. After doing so, it will start the process and finish the command.
