The workspace file does not contain the on-screen locations for the toolbars however, only the toolbars themselves and whether they are open or not. The default location for these files is also in a hidden folder:Ĭ:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\\UI You can copy this file between installations as well. Separate from the other options, workspace files contain most of the info for toolbars/buttons such as which buttons are in which toolbar, command macros for each button and button images. If you want to just transfer individual display modes, use the Export/Import buttons in Options>View>Display Modes instead.

In V5, you can only import all of them at once (or none) via OptionsExport/Import. It is not necessary to import them all.ĭisplay modes are included in OptionsExport and OptionsImport in V5, and also in the settings. You have a choice of which settings you would like to import. Importing this file into another installation via the command OptionsImport (V5 and later) will transfer the settings to the new install. To transfer the bulk of your settings, use the Rhino command OptionsExport, which creates a single file with most of the customizations. represents your Windows account username, is 5.0, 6.0, 7.0 etc. You can access this quickly by hitting the Windows Start button and typing %appdata% and Enter which gets you to “Roaming”, then navigating to the appropriate folder. Note - the location for these files mentioned above is a folder hidden by Windows by default. This may also work when upgrading versions, but it is somewhat risky, as some settings change between versions.

The file is located at C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\\settings. The easiest way is to simply copy the settings-Scheme_Default.xml file from one installation to the other, replacing the original. There are some shortcuts, depending on which version you have.įor V6 and later - within the same version: So, it's not a one-click operation to transfer your custom settings from one install to another especially so if you are upgrading at the same time. And, with each succeeding version, existing options can change and new ones can be added. In all cases, there is not one single file that contains all Rhino options and personalizations. xml “settings” files and with V7 and later, more changes have been made to the system. As of Rhino V6, much of this info has been moved out of the registry into one or more. In Rhino V5 and earlier most of Rhino's settings were not stored in external files, but in the registry. Note, toolbars are separate from settings and will be covered further on
