Buggsy Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Hi Everyone, This may have been discussed here before... Rhino for Mac (in development). Downloadable version (WIP) of Rhino 3D modeller for Mac. http://www.rhino3d.com/mac Exports .3ds files that import into EI, layers and all. I'm trialing it to see if it will work for my purposes.

S. Houtzager Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Hey Michael, Been using Rhino for many years and never been able to get "layers" into EI. What voodoo are you using? I would need to group things and those groups would go into EI. That Rhino Mac interface is one of the best I have ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maher Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 they have been doing that mac in development thing for years wonder how long till its finished Don't complain : as long as the beta Mac version is under development, it's free ;-) I've purchased the PC version long ago, but didn't open it in the last few years… The Mac beta is pretty functional.

thingmaker Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Yes, it is pretty functional. Still no plugins and the layers will drive you nuts and make you appreciate EI Modeler even more.. :) I did some tutorials on Digital Tutor and was up to speed pretty quick on the Mac version.

Frankg Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 As long as it is "free" Rhino is a good deal. If you have to pay for it I personally would suggest ViaCAD or more intuitive: www.solidthinking.com > Evolve. Evolve is expensive 1850 €, but way better in the design process than Rhino. It saves me half the time in developing a design, which makes it a very deal for me. regards Frankg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Houtzager Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I have read on the Rhino Forum that development for Rhino Mac should be done by the end of the year..... more or less. Then ya gotta pay da man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
