Hi everyone,
I’ve been developing a small Rhino plugin called RGLink to simplify the way Rhino projects work with Grasshopper definitions.
The main idea is straightforward: instead of manually finding, opening, and managing separate Grasshopper files every time you work on a Rhino project, RGLink lets you associate multiple .gh / .ghx definitions with the Rhino file and access them from one place.
The plugin is intended mainly for workflows where one Rhino model depends on several Grasshopper definitions.
Current goals include:
- Link multiple Grasshopper definitions to one Rhino project
- Manage the linked definitions from Rhino
- Open the correct Grasshopper files directly from the project
- Keep project relationships organized when working across multiple files
- Reduce repetitive file-management steps between Rhino and Grasshopper
The main Rhino command is:
RGLINK
The plugin is currently available for Rhino 7 and Rhino 8, and I’m continuing to test and improve the workflow.
I’d especially appreciate feedback from people who regularly work with larger Rhino + Grasshopper projects.
Are there specific file-management problems, edge cases, or features you would expect from this kind of tool?
Any technical feedback or testing would be very helpful.
RGLink is also available through the Rhino Package Manager — just search for RGLink and install it directly from Rhino.
