Previous announcement and update history (1.0–1.5.2): Free plugin - byRhinoGadget

Excited to announce byRhinoGadget 1.6.0!
This release marks a major architectural milestone alongside substantial curve and modeling workflow improvements.

100% C# Native Performance
101 Python commands fully converted to C# — no more engine load delays; Now, all 123 Rhino commands and 15 GH components execute instantly—just like native Rhino tools.
byRhinoGadgetPlus.rhp is gone - its commands now live in byRhinoGadget.rhp. Your aliases, toolbars and .ini settings keep working as before.

Expanded Localization
UI prompts now automatically follow your Rhino language settings (AI-translated; feedback welcome!).

Key Feature Updates
Advanced G3 Continuity: New FullRoundSmooth & RoundedRectangleSmooth commands, plus an enhanced FilletSmooth with non-orthogonal curve transitions and adjustable blend controls.
TrimBox Redesign: Upgraded to a 6-clipping-plane box with interactive face/box drag handles, section fills, color options, and an Extract copy feature.
Massive Performance Boosts: Direct multi-core C# computation for VolumeOverlapped / WeightOverlapped with adjustable mesh accuracy, plus significantly faster grass generation in LawnGrassMesh.
AddCallouts & UI Polish: Live column reordering, toggle visibility, and alignment arrows in callouts; real-time previews across PipeSmooth, PolylineToCrv, PolylineSplit2Crvs, RevCloudsBySketch, and GradientObjectColor.
Viewport Stability: CastVectorShadow now computes without camera flipping.

byRhinoGadget 1.6.1 Update

Its only been a few days since 1.6.0, but were releasing byRhinoGadget 1.6.1 right away: users reported a bug in DimBoundingBox, one of the commands you use most.

G3 matching for Rhino 8!
Rhino’s Match and MatchSrf stop at G2. byRhinoGadget 1.6.1 takes curve and surface continuity one step further:

G3 Matching (MatchG3 & MatchSrfG3): Match curve ends and surface edges up to G3, torsion included in 3D. Drag handles BlendCrv-style, check the joint with Rhinos own curvature graph, and match to trimmed edges with Refine options.

Fairing Without Adding Points (FairCrvPts): Rhinos Fair works well on degree 3 curves, but adds control points to curves of other degrees such as degree 5. FairCrvPts smooths curves within a tolerance while keeping the same control point count, degree and knots.

Bug Fix (DimBoundingBox): The construction plane Y dimension no longer comes out as 0. Thanks to the users who reported it!
