I am setting up a deployment for Rhino for my company and have been poking around in the Rhino& appdata folder and settings files trying to determine a way to set the default units to Feet and inches at the time the program is installed. Is there a settings file where I can make this change. Having the program start up automatically for users in Millimeters is not going to work. I would also like to make default to Feet and inches at install, to avoid having to rely on users to set the default template themselves.
Hello- - without a templates file, Rhino starts with mm. If you want Rhino to open with a different template, you can set a default template fie - that is set in OPtions > Files page or in using the New command and setting the template you choose as the default. Note you can make your own template files (SaveAsTemplate) The template file path is stored in
“C:\Users\USER_NAMEAppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\7.0\settings\settings-Scheme__Default.xml”
e.g.
C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\7.0\Localization\en-US\Template Files\Small Objects - Millimeters.3dm
