Hi @Gijs , @stevebaer , i’ve been following this YT item with enthusiasm and today installed (8.7.24101.10001, 2024-04-10) to test it. Here is a simple Rhino example file which i exported as 48x48 svg file: TestGradient.3dm (55.3 KB) [TestGradient] The gradient seems to be exported in the xml file…

@clement what I tested is to export an existing Rhino button that has a gradient to svg and import that again in the button editor. I assumed that was the scope of the change. That seems to work, and the svg opens well in a browser, but as you noticed, not in illustrator. I reopened the yt.

Thanks @Gijs for re-opening the issue. I thought it was obvious that users may be interested to create button icons for Rhino 8 with it’s own svg export including gradients. Imho Rhino itself should be able to import what it has exported, either in the button editor or in the application. My exitem…

Hi @Gijs , McNeel team, Fixing this is a must, along with all the other custom toolbars issues making using V8 a non-starter for people with custom workspaces. We need to be able to import/export SVGs created/edited in Photoshop / Illustrator / Rhino’s built-in icon editor. I’d like to switch to V…

Hi @clement , yes I meant to say the icon editor. Last time I checked it was only half working, which makes it useless. But I’m hoping McNeel will fix this, along with everything else broken in V8. First priority for me is having an import/export of SVG working flawlessly, which is also at a useless…

[image] clement: Trying to imort the svg back into Rhino 8 results in a fully transparent hatch. Importing it into Illustrator results in a black square too. I see what is going on. If you add a closing parentheses to the end of line 11 in your svg file, it should start working. I’ll get this…

[image] Steve Baer: I see what is going on. If you add a closing parentheses to the end of line 11 in your svg file Thank you @stevebaer , i’ve tried that, maybe you should show an example, just tried closing the <path> using </path> but that does not seem to work. [grafik] The new button ed…

url(#gradient1 should be changed to url(#gradient1)

This works! I didn’t see it, thanks, c. [grafik]

Btw. @stevebaer , you might please check the result when “repeat” in Rhino is not 1 or when Fill Style is not set to the default “Linear Reflected” or when the gradient is not from left to right, eg. when it is a diagonal or when gradient is not from 0% to 100% … all these seem to fail. Edit: one re…
