Rhino 8 for Mac - User Interface - UX

Hi -

This setting seems to be available in a current 8.1 release.

I’m not sure if that’s related, but that also seems to work fine here on macOS.
-wim

when will the 8.1 be available? i saw the color preview has been fixed for this release. but that was around a month ago, and we still have 8.0 shootmedead whatnot number (8.0.23304.09002, 2023-10-31)

in principle, 21 of Nov.

As always, there’s both the final SR (8.0 in this case) and the public release candidate for the next SR. 8.1 releases have been publicly available for quite some time now.

Hello
I have two questions (both illustrated in the screenshot).

  1. where did the command option go?
  2. how to recover space from toolbar? (top and bottom the same case)

Thx for any help

Hi Michał -

I’m not able to reproduce that behavior here. When I restore the Default window layout and close the top container from the gear menu, there is no empty space left over in that area. What are the step you take to reproduce this?
-wim

To be honest I don’t know how either.
It’s look like this…

@jasinskimichal I cannot reproduce this either here on my Mac. pls run _SystemInfo and post back the results. If you restore the default window layout (Window > Window Layouts > Default) does it come back to normal?

I don’t know how but I managed to turn it off… but I can’t tell you how I did it… hopefully in the next update when it comes out they will fix these bugs to make it work right away.

Hey guys, I would like to know how I can use my own template as the default when starting Rhino 8… can someone help?

I’m not shore what you mean… but…
Open rhino and fallow by screen


And also you can import all setting “_Optionsimport”.

Thanks for the info, but I would like my template which I use for architectural modelmaking (that has all my different layers, toolbars, etc), to load as default when I open Rhino 8, as it does on my PC (windows)… rather than having the Rhino 8 default load, and have to change it as per what you are suggesting… thanks though!

I have created my own draft file… Such as you want to create only cleaned up… There you have a skeleton of layers dimension lines etc… and if you want to create a new one then open such a sketch each time and save as a new project…

But if there’s another method I’d love to know how to do it too.

I’m so frustrated with the this ubiquitous Mac OS adoption of SAVE… and the dropping of SAVE AS…

on rhino 7,8. DUPLICATE is totally backwards as it reverts changes and doesn’t let you save in a new place… I find myself using EXPORT but then going back and opening the EXPORT… so dumb…

Sometime I just give up and remote into a PC to run rhino so I don’t have to deal with the UX issues.

I understand that mcneel probably had to follow apple software guide lines… but apple needs rhino more than mcneel needs apple.

I probably sound like an old man (that I am) right now but I think if rhino isn’t going the direction of parametric then the key to versioning a model with Rhino is your SAVE AS… function.

Anyone feel the same way or have I missed an important read me here?

Hold down the option-key and you’ll get the option to save as…

Option-Key to Save-As also works in any other Apple-software and it has been working in Rhino for Mac since it was introduced (version 5)

And it’s fairly standard amongst most apps.

Dear McNeel… if you aren’t keen on developing Bongo please increase price so we can pay for the dev and move this ahead… or recommend another tool with a smooth pathway import rhino models… especially on the Mac,
