What industry and software are best for doing 3D design, drafting, and detailing remotely?

Hey folks. I currently work as a 3D designer for a custom homebuilder. Cabinets, gates, handrails, stairs, fireplaces, etc. I do the design, engineering, drafting, and often the actual fabrication. I want to get away from the actual fabrication work and just do design/drafting/detailing. I also have experience doing this work for museum exhibits, art fabrication, and trade shows. I have some experience in doing structural design and drafting for architecture, a little with MEP.

I also want to move to a part of the US that doesn't have many jobs in this field, so I'd like to figure out how to work remotely.

So what industries allow 3D designers/drafters/detailers to work remotely, and what software should I know? I currently know Rhino, Sketchup, and Solidworks.

Rhino to 3dsmax

I am stuck. while exporting a file from rhino to 3ds max it becomes so bad dense heavy mesh.

Is there any good method to do so?

Do you think rhino to 3ds max is not a good workflow.?

Is it worth investing my time and energy into Rhino and Grasshopper?

Hi everyone.
I work as a facade design engineer. My company manufactures composite facades.
We haven't produced any complex facades yet, but my boss wants to aim higher.
He saw how facades and signage are created using Rhino and Grasshopper online, and he’s pushing for me to learn the software.
We have a CNC machine, and the boss wants us to handle the entire workflow—from design and composite cutting to the actual facade installation.
My question is: does it actually make sense to learn this process?
I notice there are very few job openings requiring Rhino and Grasshopper skills.
I’d hate to put the effort into learning it all, only to find out that no one needs those skills—except my boss, of course.
I have experience with CNC, ArtCAM, and Python, but almost none with Rhino and Grasshopper.

Making heavy/complex mesh objects more lightweight?

Sorry for the confusing title. Here's the situation:

I'm using Display Modes for a drawing project. I have a primary display mode set for the viewport, but the objects within the scene need to have another display mode. These objects are generally imported Sketchup files that are converted to meshes. They usually import as nested block references, and the only way I can get the proper display mode to carry through to the geometry is to explode them, but when I do this they start to really slow down the software. Is there any way to deal with these in a better way?

Help cutting out difference, Boolean not working.

Windows 11 with rhino 8. Hi, I’d like to cut out the intersection difference on the bottom beam. Boolean commands are not working, after I Boolean it turns the other shape round, I hit tab and it won’t go back to sharp. I assume this is bc they are both sub d’s so the polys get all weird when I tired to Boolean. I tried adding points along the bottom beam to cut out the shape but that was very frustrating and didn’t work, I also couldn’t snap the points together, so they were not aligned straight. Any help? I’m new so please explain in-depth Thank you !

How can I set up this kind of perspective in Rhino?

I’ve tried adjusting the camera settings, lens, angle, and switching between different views such as Perspective, Two-Point Perspective, etc., but I still can’t get it to work. The corners don’t look as “projected” or “pushed out” as they do in the reference image.

In the second image, I included an example of how my objects currently look.

Thank you!

What am I doing wrong?

I'm using the files provided by rhino as a beginner to familiarize myself with the basics. I am following the instructions given but for whatever reason the shape isn't moving.

The prompt is to rotate the blue rectangle using the gumball arc until the bottom edge is aligned with the top edge of the red rectangle. Use end ir near Osnaps as a reference. But when I click on the gumball arc it rotates the actual gumball coordinates but not the shape. What am I doing wrong? Please help.

Problemi con Make2d

Sto provando a creare una sezione prospettica in cui c'è una griglia che puntualmente viene rappresentata male nel Make2d, succede anche se lancio il comando selezionando solamente la griglia. Cosa mi suggerite? È inevitabile che qualcosa di complesso divenga illeggibile?

Grazie in anticipo
