The object type: curve, surface, polysurface, block name, etc. displays.
Object names are stored in the Rhino 3DM file and exported to file formats that accept object names.

Naming conventions in Rhino.
To change the object's layers, select a layer from the list. Layers can be created, and their properties can be changed in the Layer dialog box.
The color of the object can either inherit the color of its layer or be set as an object property.
Uses the display color of the object's layer.
When the object is in a block, it displays with the display color of its parent (the block instance).
This option is only useful for objects in blocks. Think of a block instance as a container that contains objects (block members). A block instance is the parent of its block members. A block instance has its own properties. If By Parent is selected in the properties of a block member, the properties will be controlled by the block instance.
In this example, Block A contains a cylinder and a box. The Display Color of the box is By Parent and is controlled by its parent (Block A). The box will display Block A's layer color because the display color of Block A is By Layer. The cylinder will always display its own layer color and will not be changed by Block A.
Now Block A is nested in Block B. The box still displays Block A's layer color because By Parent only works with the direct parent.
If the Display Color of Block A is changed to By Parent, the display color of the box will be indirectly controlled by its grandparent (Block B).
Pick a color from the Select Color dialog box.
Unset Color indicates the selected sub-face does not have a per-face color assigned.
When a per-face color exists, selecting Unset Color clears the per-face color.
Ctrl(CMD)+Shift+Click sub-faces before selecting a color.
Sets the object to display with the viewport display mode.
Select a display mode for the object to override the display mode of the current viewport. How the object displays in other viewports is not affected.
Shows a dialog that lists all the viewports in the model. It allows you to set how the object displays not just for the current viewport.
Uses the linetype of the object's layer.
When the object is in a block, it prints with the linetype of its parent (the block instance). Details...
Uses a linetype from document linetypes.
Opens the Custom Linetype dialog to customize linetype settings for the object.
Sets the linetype scale for the object.
The object linetype scale will be multiplied by the global linetype scale.
Prints using the display color.
Prints using the layer color.
When the object is in a block, it prints with the print color of its parent (the block instance). Details...
Prints using the color picked from the Select Color dialog box.
Prints using the layer print width.
Prints using the default print width.
When the object is in a block, it prints with the print width of its parent (the block instance). Details...
Select a line width from the list, or type a number to customize the print width.
Hairlines are defined as 0.0001 mm curves and are not scaled by the Scale by multiplier value in the Print dialog.
Print width overrides linetype width in pixels, but not in length units.
Linetype width can display in viewports when print preview is on or off. Print width needs print preview to be on to display.
Add line width values to the printwidths.txt file in Rhino support folder > Localization > [Language] > Support
In the printwidths.txt file:
Lines begin with ; or // will be ignored.
Line width values have to be larger than 0.
Does not print.
Controls how object's clipping section is filled.
The clipping section is filled by the layer's Section Style.
When the object is in a block, the clipping section is filled by the block instance's Section Style.
The clipping section is filled by the clipping plane's Section Style.
The clipping section is filled by the object's own Section Style.
Turns custom mesh settings on and off.
Adjusts mesh settings for the object to override Document Mesh settings.
Rendering
Casts shadows on other objects and a ground plane.
Receives shadows from other objects.
Defines the number of isoparametric curves Rhino draws on the surface.
Value | Display |
---|---|
0 |
One isocurve at each knot; no isocurves on knot-free spans. |
1 |
One isocurve at each knot, or one isocurve on knot-free spans. |
2 |
One isocurve at each knot, plus one isocurve between knot locations. |
3 |
One isocurve at each knot, plus two isocurves between knot locations. |
Turns display of surface isoparametric curves.
Set the properties of the selected object to match properties of another object in the model.
See: MatchProperties
Displays technical information of the selected object.
See: What.
Object Description
The object type: curve, surface, polysurface, block name, etc. displays.
The object's internal identification number.
The name of the layer assigned to the object.
The name of the render material assigned to the object.
Object, layer, or parent.
The layer material index number.
Details about the geometry mathematics, edges, vertices, and meshes.
When Model Units is Feet and Distance display is Decimal, Surveyor's Units (e.g., N 64°39'50" E 56.292') displays for line segments. Lines or polylines must be parallel to the World XY plane for Surveyor's Units to display.
When a curve or a surface is SubD friendly, its object description displays the information like:
Valid curve.
Open NURBS curve (SubD friendly)
