byRhinoViewExport

Rhino plugin · v0.4.0 · updated 8/12/2026

Exports Rhino models as byRhinoView sessions (.rhv) or self-contained offline HTML viewers, adding both to the Save As / Export file types. Large models are the point: the browser cannot open a .3dm much above 250 MB because rhino3dm's WebAssembly build has a 2 GB heap ceiling and parsing costs several times the file size. Converting inside Rhino sidesteps that entirely and, because RhinoCommon can mesh, objects saved without a render mesh come through shaded instead of as wireframe. Carries layers, materials, base-colour textures, object attributes, block instancing, linear dimensions and named views. Optionally writes edges from Brep topology so the viewer skips edge extraction on load, and compresses vertex data via KHR_mesh_quantization. HTML packages can be password-protected with AES-256-GCM.
