Rhino 3D Tip: Enhance Workflow with Custom Toolbars in Rhino 3D

Creating Custom Toolbars in Rhino 3D

Custom toolbars can greatly enhance your workflow in Rhino 3D by providing quick access to frequently used commands and tools. Here’s a simple guide to creating your own custom toolbars:

• Create a New Toolbar:
  Navigate to Tools > Toolbar Layout. In the Toolbar Layout dialog box, click on the File menu and select New. Give your new toolbar a name and click OK.
• Add Buttons to Your Toolbar:
  With your new toolbar selected, click the New Button icon. This opens the Button Editor where you can define the command that the button will execute. Enter the desired command in the Left Mouse Button field.
• Customize Button Appearance:
  Use the Button Editor to customize the button's appearance. You can add icons or change the button's color to make it easily recognizable. You can even create your own custom icons if needed.
• Arrange Buttons:
  Drag and drop buttons within your toolbar to arrange them in the order that best suits your workflow. You can also group buttons together to create a more organized toolbar.
• Save Your Toolbar:
  After customizing your toolbar, go to the File menu in the Toolbar Layout dialog box and select Save. This ensures that your custom toolbar is saved and can be reused in future Rhino sessions.

Creating custom toolbars is an excellent way to streamline your design process, making it easier to access the tools you use most frequently. If you’re looking for more advanced tips and tricks, check out NOVEDGE for a wide range of resources and expert advice.
