Starting Rhino in Windows | Rhino 3-D modeling

When Rhino is installed, you can start Rhino from the Applications folder. You can also customize how Rhino starts using command-line arguments in Terminal or an Automator application.

If the path or file name in the script contains space characters, add a backslash "\" before each space character.
For convenience, use a script to create an Automator application. How to?

Command-line arguments

-nosplash

Hides the splash screen and skips checking obsolete and new versions when Rhino starts.

To hide splash screen when Rhino starts

When Rhino is not running, run one of these scripts in Terminal.

open /Applications/Rhinoceros.app --args -nosplash

-or-

/Applications/Rhinoceros.app/Contents/MacOS/Rhinoceros -nosplash

-runscript "<script>"

Run a script at startup.

To add a line after opening a new model

When Rhino is not running, run one of these scripts in Terminal.

open /Applications/Rhinoceros.app --args -runscript "_Line 0 10,10,10"

-or-

/Applications/Rhinoceros..app/Contents/MacOS/Rhinoceros -runscript "_Line 0 10,10,10"

To add a line after opening an existing model

Add <Path>/<Filename>.3dm:

/Applications/Rhinoceros..app/Contents/MacOS/Rhinoceros <Path>/<filename>.3dm -runscript "_Line 0 10,10,10"

To use a longer script

Use the -_RunPythonScript command to open a Python script file:

/Applications/Rhinoceros.app/Contents/MacOS/Rhinoceros -runscript "-_RunPythonScript <Path>/<Filename>.py"
