Installation

Installing the RhinoParametrics plug-in

Download the RhinoParametrics installation file :

RhinoParametricsInstaller_xxx.msi  or  RhinoParametricsInstaller_xxx.exe

Run it (double click it in Window Explorer) to begin the installation process.

 

After the licence has been accepted and hence the installation completed, Rhino can be launched directly by checking the box in the bottom left corner of the dialog.

 

The installer will have created a folder, which will be either :
C:\Program Files\RhinoParametrics
or
C:\Program Files (x86)\RhinoParametrics

All necessary files have been placed in this directory.


The documentation is found in the directory : RhinoParametrics_Doc

The first time that Rhino is launched after having installed RhinoParametrics, the following dialog box will appear, indicating that the plug-in is being loaded.

 

Once RhinoParametrics has been loaded, its user interface will become avaialble, including:
- The treeview
- The "RhinoParametrics" menu
- The Tool Bar

 

RhinoParametric commands can now be used, concurrently with Rhino commands.

In rare cases, when Rhino is first run after installing RhinoParametrics, the plug-in will not be loaded automatically (the dialog box will not appear).

In this case,the plug-in must be loaded manually.

To do so, open the Rhino Options dialog, and go to Rhino Options, Modules :

 

Click "Install".

When asked, browse to the plug-in location.  The default locations will be one of the following :

C:\Program Files\RhinoParametrics\RhinoParametrics.rhp
