[image] How to model a tunnel section in rhino-grasshopper Yes, my guess is that there are no great format changes. Since I can perfectly visualise the preview of the Rhino 7 file when I have only 6 installed. The preview is an embedded PNG file in a well-known location in the file. All older …

Has this utility (and the person who wrote it) been vetted by McNeel? Can we be sure it contains no malware? Why didn’t McNeel produce such a utility of their own?

[image] Joseph_Oster: Why didn’t McNeel produce such a utility of their own? Prioritization. The same could be (and has been) asked of zillions of potential projects. We’re not infinitely capable, and so we make choices about what to do, and when. As you can see from David’s explorations, the…
