Sorry for the delay. The RHINO_COMPUTE_TIMEOUT can be set on whatever computer is running rhino.compute. You don’t have to do anything specific to the rhino.compute configuration. Basically, when it starts up, it looks to see if there is an environment variable stored on that machine called RHINO_COMPUTE_TIMEOUT and uses that value as the number of seconds to wait before timing out. If no variable is found, it defaults to 60 seconds.

To set the environment variable follow these steps:

  1. Click in the Windows search bar and type “environment variable”. Click the line item that appears that says “Edit the system environment variables (control panel)” menu item.
  2. This brings up a System Properties panel and there is a button towards the bottom which says “Environment Variable”. Click that to open up the dialog.
  3. In the lower “System Variables” section, click “New” to create a new variable.
  4. In the Variable Name input, type RHINO_COMPUTE_TIMEOUT
  5. In the Variable Value input, type the number of seconds you want to use as your timeout value.
  6. Click OK and then close out of all the dialogs you opened. Now restart your machine for the changes to take effect.
