R8 crashes every time I try to copy R7 button to R8 toolbar. And on different machines same buttons have different icons.
If this is repeatable, that is great news. Can you send me your R7 RUI file with some steps to repeat the crash?
Thanks
@Mitya would it be possible to share your v7 toolbar so I can attempt to repeat this crash?
Hi Steve, Iāve send it.
I just have send you a toolbar with a group, enabling which every time crashes Rhino.
hi McNeel team,
Iām still struggling a bit with toolbar migration. My 2 questions of the day:
- How do I import a toolbar into my .rui file?
in V7 I did thisā¦
in V8, I cannot figure out a way to add an existing toolbar saved somewhere else into my current .rui file:
- because I cannot import a toolbar, I figured Iād create a new one and start dragging one-by-one buttons (as copies) of other toolbar files. Itās very error-prone and laborious, but itās a workaround. But doing that destroys the vector thumbnails. See video:
When will this be fixed?
Thanks,
G
Did you try āOpenā for the first item?
Iāll need to check on point #2.
Open will open a separate -RUI file, correct? I donāt want to have and then manage a bunch of separate ,RUI files.
I want to maintain just 2 .RUI files:
- default.
- my_toolbars.RUI
So any other custom toolbars needs to be imported INTO my_toolbars.RUI just like I can do in V7.
Makes sense?

Ok, so you are looking for some sort of merge functionality. I can look into adding this
Correct, clean merge. No dependencies or link to the .RUI file I previously imported. Just like in good old V7.
Thx!

Thanks, I can repeat this crash and am working on a fix right now.
I experience much less crashes and freezes in rhino 8 than i did in Rhino 7. I actually couldnāt think of a time when R8 crashed on me since I started using it for a year.
This alone is a big incentive for us to switch from R7 to R8.
However, apart from the much stabler performance, there really isnāt much good to say about R8. For one , I am really not happy with all the bugs that I have encountered. We use Rhino for basically everything, especially drawing documentation, but I donāt see McNeel taking priority in fixing all the bugs and issues associated with printing and documentation, which disappoints me a lot.
The new UI is also atrocious. Some old UI feature from R7 is taken away. (E.g. Toolbar search, nice colors and easy docking) , and sometimes really buggy,( e.g. Toolbar opening at the corner, toolbar is unable to be exported, toolbar not showing in right click menu but do in optionsā¦)
we are well aware and working to try and address this. It was a big (and necessary) job to overhaul it and its a big job to fix all the issues that occurred from that over haul. We appreciate your patience, and I can assure you are are doing our best to address these issues.
please report the things that prevent you from getting your work done so we can push them to the top of the very long list of fixes.
Hi, I can maybe point you in the correct direction, but I had trouble actually using it - in V8, there is a distinction between toolbar and a container, and a toolbar can contain multiple containers.
I however donāt know if you can import toolbars from R7 as a R8 containers - I donāt think you can.
I had to edit my own post here because of this.
