When Rhino installs, a shortcut icon is saved to your desktop. Other options for opening Rhino involve customizing or creating new shortcuts, using schemes, and starting Rhino in safe mode.
Using Windows shortcuts, you can open Rhino using a number of options.
Options
/scheme="Scheme Name"
Opens with the saved scheme.
/nosplash
Suppress splash screen. View the splash screen with the About command.
/safemode
Starts Rhino in safe mode without OpenGL or third-party plug-ins.
/notemplate
Start Rhino with a default model based on hard-coded defaults.
/language=<langid>
Set the language. For example, /language=1041 starts in Japanese, /language=1033 starts in English, etc.

Save and restore Rhino workspace settings. The scheme saves the following settings:
● | Command defaults |
● | Dialog box positions |
● | All settings in the Rhino Options pages such as aliases, appearance and colors settings, mouse settings, render settings, shortcut keys |
● | Recently-used file list |
● | Toolbar layout |
To save schemes
1. | Make a Windows desktop shortcut to Rhino like this: "C:/Program Files/Rhino.exe" /scheme="WhiteBackground" |
2. | Set up Rhino with your white background colors and exit. |
3. | Start Rhino from this shortcut. Rhino will find and store all it's settings in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/McNeel/Rhinoceros/5.0/Scheme: WhiteBackground/... |
4. | Make another shortcut: "C:/Program Files/Rhino.exe" /scheme="BlackBackground" |
5. | Set up Rhino with your black background colors and exit. |
6. | Start Rhino from this shortcut. Rhino will find and store all it's settings in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/McNeel/Rhinoceros/5.0/Scheme: BlackBackground/... |
Safe mode is a method of opening Rhino with features disabled that might be the cause of crashing.
Safe mode is not designed to be a working mode – it is a troubleshooting, problem solving mode.
Use safe mode if Rhino crashes immediately on starting, crashes when shading, or crashes when running commands that are part of a plug-in. Please report all problems crashing Rhino to the Rhino development team.
If you launch Rhino in safe mode, the following items will be disabled:
● | Any start-up commands listed in General Options. |
● | Command line scripts specified by the "/runscript" argument. |
● | All plug-ins. |
● | Templates. |
● | OpenGL shading. |
To open Rhino in safe mode
On the Windows Start button, under Programs, select Rhinoceros in Safe Mode.
