Rhino import to Blender

B by baswein on 12 May 2021, edited 14 May 2021 #

In last months presentation @fbpyr (thanks for the presentation!) mentioned two different plugins to import Rhino .3dm files into blender.

Recently I have been importing rhino files using Import 3dm https://github.com/jesterKing/import_3dm.

Does anyone know what the other option was and if this is the better one?

Thanks

I tried installing it. Not successful.

@magicalcloud_75 it worked for me - what issue did you get? Are you using 2.93 as it requires?

The Import 3dm plugin worked great for me on with Blender 2.92 on windows other than the usual conversion issues like material colors don't come through. Although there might be things I don't know I'm missing.

I tried 2.91. But it should work "This add-on works with Blender 2.83 and later."

It isn't listed as addon and no import 3dm.

Speckle has a Blender and a Rhino plugin. I haven't tried it myself in blender though.

@magicalcloud_75 - That is weird it is definitely working for me. Shows up in File>Import>Rhinoceros 3D:

It also seems to do more than just meshes. I get Views as well.

@gokermu I am looking forward to trying speckle.... someday when I have some time.
