I wonder if this is possible. I have a GH “definition” that I would like to launch from a bat file which would run rhino as a service. The idea is to be able to run Rhino/GH from a external app, but being “hidden” for the user. After some googling, I found that there are applications that are able…

If I could start from scratch, I would start implementing everything using only rhinocompute, but right now its not an option for me, I guess…

I’m using Shapediver for similar case.

[image] aitorleceta: The ideal solution would be to launch Rhino with some “magic” option from my bat file. Am I dreaming? No, you are not dreaming. Start kicking the ball by invoking a “main” GH definition as described below. Given the file “main.ps1” placed in the sub-folder “run” and the …

I know many people here know about these, but there are so many emerging technologies here it is worth reviewing a few. Rhino 7 additions that help support batch commands: Compute - Rhino/GH as a service Rhino3DM Client Libraries to pass Geometry as JSON without the need for Rhino ( rhino3dm.js )…

[image] scottd: GrasshopperPlayer in Rhino 7 (Compute or Desktop) Wow, didn’t know about that one! That’s an absolutely brilliant idea! So if I understand it correctly, a “GHPlayer command” could then also be activated via Rhino.Compute, or via CommandLine from a bat-file? // Rolf

Yes. Compute or Command line. Inputs can be customized to be interactive or automatic in different contexts. Of course the devil is in the details and this is a developing set of features, so any feedback or results you are getting we would be happy to hear about. It is also important to know that…

Blockquote [System.Diagnostics.Process]::Start(“Rhino.exe”, “/nosplash /Grasshopper run\Main.ghx”).WaitForExit() Write-Host “Rhino.exe has terminated.” Rhil, this is to launch Rhino from shell, right? But this is launching also the UI. What I was looking is to Rhino running as a “daemon”, witho…

Yes, it launches Rhino&GH UI. I think RhinoCompute is what you are looking for. (That which I’m experimenting with right now). // Rolf

I think RhinoCompute is what you are looking for. (That which I’m experimenting with right now). the problem with rhinocompute is that is exposing “just” the geometry classes. We have implemented lot of doc related classes and events… it could work in other completely different implementation of…
