Automating The Generation of Multiple Layouts

[C_Kay (Chris McKay)]

Is there a way to generate multiple copies of layouts (like 50 or more) at once with a specified naming system? If not, is there a way to rename multiple layouts with an ascending naming convention that’s not the traditional manual method? Would this need to be a python script?

I would recommend a Python script if you don’t know C# or VB already.

This plus some string manipulation to define the names should work: https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/RhinoScriptSyntax/#view-AddLayout

Hi @C_Kay,

You can create multiple layouts at once in the Rhino 9 WIP.

OOh. That’s fantastic! Is the WIP available for download? I’m thinking of making them in the WIP and then importing them to my Rhino8

Is there a way to work with an ascending naming convention? Or will I need to correct all of the names?
