Libraries

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. Content can also be dragged between Rhino sessions and into a folder.

Color swatches can be dragged and dropped in the same way.

The Libraries panel displays a view into the content folders you have set up. Use this to drag and drop content into the model or to store document content to a location outside the model.
