How should I use these? I mean, there are these components I can play with, but can I bake/push the changes to Rhino? Nothing seems to work.
Should I be able to manipulate Rhino views with these? If, how? I have tried to plug in Model Views and whatnot to Content Cache, but I don’t see anything changing the Views in Rhino or their properties. I’m running Rhino 8.12 at the moment.
Hi Tuomas -
A new data type needs to be developed for this to become useful.
On Windows, pushing a Model Viewport to the Rhino document creates a new floating window with the view that is defined. Right-clicking and baking the View (V) output of that component will add a new Named View to the Rhino document.

I wouldn’t say the components are completely useless. Here are two examples. The first will animate a camera along a curve and create a pop up viewport showing the current view from that camera. The second will perform a zoom extents to whatever is in the model. You could obviously extend this one by filtering specific sets of geometry to zoom to.

RH-81517 is fixed in Rhino 8 Service Release 14
