Yes, I just found it! It was already fixed in the Rhino 8 plugin, but I didn’t realize it. I just uploaded the updated version 1.0.11, please give it a try.

31

The AddCallouts Rhino command will be included in the next byRhinoGadget update. It will be available in both model and page views, making it useful even when using layouts. Rhino users who do not use Grasshopper can look forward to the next byRhinoGadget update.

Will it be available for Rhino 7, as well?

33

I think 1.0.11 refers to the rhino 7 version

I also thought that way, but asked just in case. :slight_smile:

Sorry, we don’t have any plans to add new commands in Rhino 7. I hope you move to Rhino8 soon.

byRhinoGadget 1.4.2 Update Notice

The AddCallouts command has been added to Rhino. For those who couldn’t use the Callout component because they don’t use Grasshopper, this command will allow for convenient numbering tasks directly in Rhino.

Update to Version 1.4.2
Users who have installed version 1.4.1 should update to version 1.4.2, as it includes fixes for some errors in the AddCallouts command.
For those using an older version, follow these steps to install the new toolbar properly:

  1. Run the PackageManager command and uninstall byRhinoGadget.

  2. Restart Rhino.

  3. Open PackageManager again and install the latest version of byRhinoGadget.

  4. Restart Rhino.

Popup Window Command Errors

  • Fixed an issue where commands written in Python2 that use popup windows (e.g., ExplodedView, TransformObjects) would not run in Rhino 8.17 RC.
  • Fixed an issue where popup windows did not work in Rhino for Mac.

ExportEachLayer

  • Improved layer selection method based on user feedback regarding the inconvenience of checkboxes when selecting multiple layers.
  • Now, users can select multiple layers using Shift + Click or select/deselect individual layers using Ctrl + Click.

ObjectColor

  • Fixed an issue where the color names in Korean were not recognized correctly in command macros.

AlignPanel

Callout Component

  • Added number sorting options: X, Y, X+Y, Spiral, Zigzag.
  • Improved internal processing for number text, callout boundary offset, etc.
  • Added options to display reference planes and alignment guides.
  • Improved execution speed.

How to Use the AddCallouts Command

  • The AddCallouts command has been added and can be used in Model View and Page View.
  • In Model View: Select objects as usual.
  • In Page View: You can either pick objects one by one or select a Detail to choose objects within it.
  • Selecting objects one by one is useful when picking from multiple different Details.
  • The AddCallouts command icon has also been added to the toolbar.

Render Mesh Component

  • A component that allows Rhino objects (Brep, BlockInstance, SubD) to use render meshes directly without requiring additional mesh conversion time.

Closest Point (Multi-threaded) Component

  • Finds the closest points using multi-threading.
  • Provides speed improvements based on CPU cores when searching for the closest points between a large number of points (A) and another set of points (B).
  • Example: When finding the closest points for 10,000 points from a set of 12,000 points, the speed improves up to 10 times.
  • Note: If the number of points is small, this method may be slower. It is recommended for cases involving a large number of points.
