Hi.
Is there a way to use RhinoCommon in offline method?
RhinoCommon works only inside the Rhino process.

@user305: Is that what you meant, or are you asking whether it is possible to write programs (plugins, etc) on a computer that is not connected to the internet?

I ask a wrong question maybe.
I want to have this Url address on my pc, to use it when writing c# script offline ;
(Rhino.Geometry Namespace)
It is possible?
Do you mean the documentation?
@brian I suspect there are enough (though perhaps not many in the larger scheme of things) developers who by desire, policy or technical necessity are doing their development on offline systems and would benefit greatly from having a local copy of https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/rhinocommon/?version=8.x to justify the (relatively) simple task of preparing a downloadable file of it.
Is there a plan to make one available as you did for the Rhino 8 help? I could use it right now.

yes.
Thnx.
I have this.
But it is for Rhino 5, I think.
You can also throw in those of us who travel and often work intermittently without internet connectivity.
I think also.
There was this discussion on this subject, some links could help
No, it’s currently not possible to do this without scraping the site yourself.
I’ve added this issue, but we probably won’t get to it soon:

It’s been a few years, any chance of adding a “download as PDF” button to the documentation? There are still many of us who have to work offline regularly and are being hampered by the lack of offline docs.

Yes, please! Write out an actual chm if possible. My last one is for:
Rhino 8.0.21348.12300 (Last updated: 12/15/2021)
which is missing a lot of the new stuff added until SR18.
thanks,
c.

I too would love to see a downloadable pdf. Maybe just date the file, then and have the latest to download and an archive of previous versions. I would think that just keeping a dated R8 would be great, just create another with a new date when there is a change to the codebase.
With RAG and other AI tools available, it would be great to have access to the latest code base and run our own RAG context without having to labor at getting anything out of the current website structure.
