Vectorize is a plugin that uses advanced algorithms to analyze raster images and generate vector curves and surfaces from them. This process is also known as "vectorization" or "trace imaging". The plugin supports various raster image formats, including JPEG, PNG, and TIFF.
For even faster workflows, you can script the entire process using a Python or RhinoScript command. One user on the McNeel forum documented a script that imports an image and vectorizes it with a single click, although they noted a minor timing issue with the _Enter command. vectorize plugin rhino 2021
While the two above dominated the conversation in 2021, a few other tools offered niche solutions worth mentioning. Vectorize is a plugin that uses advanced algorithms
Converting raster images (like PNGs, JPEGs, or scanned sketches) into clean, editable vector geometry is a foundational workflow for architects, industrial designers, and digital fabricators. While Robert McNeel & Associates continually updates its software, users running Rhino 7 (released late 2020/2021) or newer often rely on specialized vectorize plugins to bridge the gap between pixels and curves. For even faster workflows, you can script the
: It features a lightweight UI that updates automatically as you adjust settings, allowing you to see the potential curve output before finalizing the command.
Instead of manually drawing curves over a background image (an exhausting process known as "tracing"), Vectorize automatically detects the high-contrast edges in a raster image (JPG, PNG, BMP) and generates editable Rhino curves. Why Use Vectorize in Rhino 7 or 8?
