Numerical Command Line Input Math

Rhino Rhino for Windows

Was curious if it were possible to allow for rhino to recognize mathematical equations as a numerical command input.

When it asks for distance, I may only know that an object needs to be moved 1/3 of 6,437 inches and it would help not having to use a calculator before inputting the distance, but allowing rhino to recognize the math equation and solve it. Another example is screen resolution when using a -viewcapturetofile command. If the screen resolution is 1853x777 I would like to change each at a time by inputting 18533 and 7773 rather than calculating 5559 and 2331.

Similar to… sketch up multiply and divide commands… (cringe-worthy, but very useful)

Hi Ryan - you can do this - in V5 it is a little clumsy, but it works- you need to format your typing so that the math is all inside brackets preceded by the ‘=’ sign.

=(1853*3)

But, in that particular command, there is also a command line option to just multiply the whole thing:

Scale=3

-Pascal

Ah! Awesome. I was certain there was some trick.

Thanks for the response!

Maybe in some update there would be a little less clunky…

Either way, great to know!
