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.

  Content items can also be dragged between Rhino sessions.

• Set up content libraries in Preferences > Render 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.
