I scanned through the later chapters and noticed a few unimplempented features are included (work sessions for instance)… so in those regards, it’s tough to tell because there’s no release candidate yet and users aren’t aware of what stuff will go in or be omitted from rhino for mac…
so I’ll just point out any simpler things like I did earlier if I come across any more…
one thing though-- do you think you can find a better ⌘ to use? that one in the PDF looks a bit suspect
I’m lucky if they have a mouse at all… Most of the time my students come to me with their Mac laptop and just the trackpad… So think about how to execute commands without a mouse as well…
(I keep a spare mouse at my desk, I hate trying to do stuff without…)
on mac, it’s Control+Left click which emulates a right click with a one button mouse.
but that’s not what’s going on in rhino… it’s Option+Left Click which triggers those commands (i.e.- ExtractSrf with the Explode icon)
a mouse right click won’t do it… i assume it can’t do it in osx… @marlin would know for sure.
edit-- but no, i don’t think you should assume most, if any, mac users have one button mice… apple did away with that quite a while ago… even their low end corded mouse has right-click/scroll wheel these days.
I use logitech mx mice on two computers both using standard apple mouse drivers and a right click will not trigger those commands… nor will a two-finger trackpad click (which is a default context click)
does a two finger trackpad click work for you as well on the air?
well, that’s just strange… i’ve never been able to right click on an icon and get it to do anything…
that aside until marlin maybe chimes in,
@margaret - in the section on Blocks, it mentions the blockEdit command… mac doesn’t have this (yet?) nor the ability to double click on a block to edit it… editing a block is on mac is what i believe v4 was like-- explode it, make the changes, run the _Block command and use the same name again.
By default, the alternate command on a tool button is invoked with Option-left click. You can change this to practically any thing you want, including a right click, but the default is Option-left click. Here are the settings in Rhinoceros > Preferences > Tool Palette as originally installed.
What’s up @jeff_hammond? Sorry to bother you - is this a pdf guide? Where is the link??!!
Or should I mouse click smht in the Rhino to access it? I’m confused, sorry. Really wanted to get my hands on that guide… There are some things in not able to figure out on my own. Thanks!
