Introduction
Rhino is a 3D computer graphics and computer-aided design (CAD) application to model geometries. It is possible to export QGIS data to Rhino. Some preparation is needed to work with the QGIS dataset in Rhino. The following tutorials address how to export and prepare QGIS data in Rhino.
