Have you ever worked with proxy objects in Rhino and wondered how to convert them into regular meshes for better manipulation and editing? In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the steps to change proxy objects to regular meshes in Rhino.

Step 1: Select the Proxy Object

Start by selecting the proxy object that you want to convert to a regular mesh. You can do this by clicking on the proxy object with the selection tool in Rhino.

Step 2: Open the Object Properties

With the proxy object selected, open the Object Properties panel. You can do this by right-clicking on the selected object and choosing 'Object Properties' from the dropdown menu.

Step 3: Change Object Type to Mesh

In the Object Properties panel, locate the 'Type' section. By default, proxy objects are set to 'Proxy' type. Click on the dropdown menu and select 'Mesh' from the options available.

Step 4: Apply the Changes

After changing the object type to Mesh, click 'OK' to apply the changes. The proxy object will now be converted into a regular mesh, allowing you to manipulate and edit it like any other mesh object in Rhino.

Step 5: Verify the Conversion

To verify that the proxy object has been successfully converted to a regular mesh, you can use the 'What' command in Rhino to check the object type. Simply type 'What' in the command line, then click on the object to see its properties. You should see that the object type is now listed as 'Mesh'.

Congratulations! You have successfully changed a proxy object to a regular mesh in Rhino. You can now work with the object as you would with any other mesh in Rhino, including editing its vertices, edges, and faces.

By following these simple steps, you can easily convert proxy objects to regular meshes in Rhino, allowing for more flexibility and control in your 3D modeling projects. Whether you're creating architectural designs or product prototypes, being able to convert proxy objects to regular meshes will enhance your workflow and open up new possibilities for your designs.
