The Libraries command opens the Libraries panel, to manage libraries of materials, textures, and environments.
Render content can be saved to files creating external libraries that can be shared between models.
The Libraries panel displays a view into the content folders you have set up.
Drag and drop content items into the model to embed the content items.
Content items can also be dragged between Rhino sessions or into a folder.
Set up content libraries in Options > Libraries.
When a material or an environment is added to a model from the Libraries panel, and the material or environment contains texture images that do not exist on the local computer, Rhino will download the texture images from the Internet. The DownloadLibraryTextures command downloads all online contents to the computer for offline use.
Materials (*.rmtl), textures (*.rtex), and environments (*.renv) are stored in the Render Content folder by default. You can copy the files in the folder from a version of Rhino to another. Render contents may not be fully compatible between different versions.
Copy and paste the path below to the path field of Windows File Explorer to open the folder.
