Rhino (.3dm) Import/Export

Opening Rhino files

The current version of Rhino will open files from any previous Rhino version and Rhino backup files (.3dm.bak and .3dmbak).

Missing font detection

Rhino detects if any of the fonts used in annotation styles or objects are missing on the system when opening 3dm files. If missing fonts are detected, a warning dialog appears, and the details are listed in the command history. Missing fonts will display with a substitute font. The substitute font does not replace the missing fonts unless you change them.

Don't show this message again

Enable this checkbox to stop showing the warning dialog.

Set Rhino.Warnings.MissingFontWarning=True in Advanced settings to show the warning dialog again.

  1. From the File menu, click Export Selected or Save As.
