Rhino Scripting & Automation
Automate Rhino modeling with RhinoScript and Python
What You Can Do
You can create powerful RhinoScript and Python scripts that automate repetitive modeling tasks, batch-process geometry, and perform complex analyses across your Rhino files. Streamline design workflows, reduce manual work, and execute sophisticated geometric operations that would take hours to perform manually.
Features
convert design intent into working RhinoScript or Python code
automate operations across multiple files or objects with error handling
compute properties, validate designs, and extract model data programmatically
leverage Rhino SDK reference with guided code examples for common tasks
troubleshoot script errors with stack trace analysis and diagnostic suggestions
write efficient loops, minimize script execution time, and handle large object counts
connect Rhino scripts with external tools, databases, and REST APIs
Example Output
Example 1: Batch Export Script
import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
def batch_export(folder_path, formats):
objects = rs.AllObjects()
for obj in objects:
for fmt in formats:
filename = f"{rs.ObjectName(obj) or 'model'}_{fmt.upper()}"
rs.Export(filename, fmt)
return len(objects) * len(formats)
Example 2: Geometry Validation Report
Generate quality assurance reports checking for non-manifold edges, degenerate faces, surface continuity issues, and intersection conflicts.
Example 3: Parametric Sweep Surface
Create swept surfaces with profile evolution constraints, rail curve influence, and tangency continuity at seams for manufacturing-ready geometry.
