I do not know if this is the right place to post about the Blender.3 DM import plugin for Blender. (feel free to move it).
I’m using the version 0.0.10 of the Blender import .3dm plugin. As this plugin gets updated, I’d like to see if you guys can add support for a few more things. Let;s start with this:
Proper support of creases in SubD.
Right now the importer treats creased edges in Rhino’s subD as split edges.
Import dimensions and annotations.
Also, you can see in the comparative screenshot above that these do not come in at all.
import named positions in some way
This is one that would be super useful fo rus, just not sure what’s the best way to implement this import in Blender:
Most of these things will depend on whether rhino3dm has the necessary support for these. I’m currently working on revisiting block instance loading and cleaning up material handling.
Once I’m done with that I will check what the current support level is for the items you mentioned.
If it doesn’t, it sounds like the request should add support for these. Who is in charge of writing rhino3dm at Mcneel?
BTW, the import-export of creased geometry is something that you guys should give a lot more priority; I don’t think we are the only ones who need this.
Hi Nathan, I cannot install/activate the addon, testet both blender 3.6 and 4.1-(I used blender Zip, and didn´t install it via msi)
I have rhino (7) installed- (is rhino installation even needed?)
Any idea whats causing the error?
I get Error:

I think restarting blender after install but before activating the addon should be enough. The addon ships with a python module, which isn’t loaded when installing, only when starting blender.
Yeah, I looked through that code as well, but it never seemed to work for me…
With blender 4.2 the extension platform is going live. I’m not sure if that adds functionality to better support python modules out of the box.
Nice plugin ! thank you very much.
Now it seems that it can not import SubD Model and Rhino lights into Blender.
Is it going to be updated to achieve to import them?
