See these threads for discussion on that topic and some scripts to achieve this:

Rhino 6 Wishlist: Sketchup like command/character to face active camera

It would be really handy to have an option to apply a script/command to an object/single plane to orientate it towards the active camera, similar to the way people do in Sketchup.

Quick solution - you need this little plugin (save where you want to keep it and drag&drop it to Rhino - installed). Now create a new button and add this two scripts. One call defines the billboard objects and the other turn all to the camera. Change the path like you are using.

-_LoadScript “C:\Program Files (x86)\Rhinoceros 4.0\Extra\V4-RotateMapped.rvb” o

Right mouse button: Select Billboards
-_LoadScript “C:\Program Files (x86)\Rhinoceros 4.0\Extra\V4-RotateMapped.rvb” s
