Any time table of to-release rhino 7?
Iâm not a McNeel employee, but Iâm gonna go out on a limb and say: âWhen itâs doneâ

Not that Iâve seen, and Iâve never seen McNeel announce a release in advance. Based on previous releases I would not expect V7 to be released for several years. You can use the current WIP development version of V7 if you have a V6 .license. Rhino 7 WIP Available Now!
A while ago I saw a suggestion that it was targeted for the middle of this year. I canât recall where though.
Well, that would be exceptional, only 2 1/2 years after the release of V6⌠The ânormalâ cycle (based on past releases) is around 5+ years. Although Iâm not opposed to it at all, I think a ~3 year cycle would be good. However, a new release has to have some significant advances, this one looks like SubD, so I think that toolset needs to be made pretty solid before V7 is released.
I think from past experience, it would also be normal for the target to be missed and then missed again and again!
How do you know that previous targets were set and missed?
I pretty much prefer McNeelâs release strategy over those of many other software developers where they just release new software because itâs a new year
Because rhino for Mac target release date kept slipping⌠for years.
I agree!
The year is no longer new - it has dayed already quite well. A day-toddler!
@Pascal replied to me a while back with the suggestion that measured by SR numbers compared to V6, a V7 release wouldnât be that far off.
I know that McNeel has changed their SR schedule to be more frequent though, but so did he.
The best way to keep in on the news on v7 is to follow the Rhino WP developement - update every time a new version gets released and youâll know what is going on. That obviously doesnât tell you when Rhino 7 gets released, but at least gives you what is going on at this very moment.
maybe it is coming in a few weeks or daysâŚwho knows?
I will have one 4 sure⌠my boss already told me that business is done/finishing!
Itâs already available
Soft launch with sales of Rhino 7 was on November 10. âBig announcementâ in early December. Thank you!
But not 4 download is it?

Yea. Itâs been out a couple weeks for purchase, upgrade, and evaluation on McNeelâs website.
Ended up not being so far off!
