Linking RhinoCommon.dll to Console Application

[lungenstrudel]

Hi, i want to use the RhinoCommon.dll with a command line application (.exe) that accepts parameters for the creation of a simple box. The app should use RhinoCommon to create a mesh and save it as a file, e.g. .OBJ.

Is that actually possible, or do i need a running instance of Rhino?

The app should use RhinoCommon to create a mesh and save it as a file, e.g. .OBJ.

You can create a mesh (create the object, pass it vertices, faces, etc) with rhino3dm/openNurbs (javascript, python, .net, c++).

The Rhino.FileIO.FileObj class is not part of rhino3dm. If you can find a way to write your output file format, then you are set.

Otherwise:

Yes. Have you seen Rhino.Inside? #serengeti:inside
