Questions about Rhino Inside

[Ayoub]

Hello,

I am a little bit confused about Rhino Inside; it would be great if somebody can answer my questions:

1. Can I use Rhino computing to do geometrical manipulation within my application? I mean to do boolean operations, intersections and so on… (basically, like use it as a geometric kernel)
2. Should the users have Rhino (7?) installed for that?
3. What is the licensing scheme you will be using for this? If I want to use it within a software that I will be selling?

Thanks in advance!

Questions one and two are answered with

Rhino inside

Yes, that is one possibility. Another is to embed Rhino inside an existing application. No, Rhino would still need to be installed on your computer. For accessing Rhino functionality without Rhino installed, you would need to use compute.rhino3d.com We don’t know yet. Our development process is “throw it over the wall” and let customers tell us what they need. Yes, only .NET (at least for now). That doesn’t stop you from hosting .NET in your own native application which is exactly what Rh…

For three the answer is the same as for regular Rhino. Since you need a valid Rhino installation you need a valid Rhino license. Or your users will that, rather.
