Description

The RhinoLabsTools plug-in contains miscellaneous tools that you might find useful. Who knows, some of these tools might even make it into the next release...

Commands

The command currently available in the RhinoLabsTools plug-in are as follows:

1. ConvertDots - converts text dots to either points or text objects.
2. DupDimStyle - duplicates dimension styles.
3. FindText - finds text in the document.
4. HideLayersInDetail - similar to Rhino's HideInDetail command, only it hides all objects on a layer. To show the objects again, use the following macro: _SelLayer _Pause _ShowInDetail
5. ImportDimStyles - imports dimension styles from another .3dm file.
6. MatchCrvDir - matches the direction of selected curves.
7. MatchProperties - matches object, material, and texture properties.
8. ModifyRadius - changes the radius of arcs and circles.
9. MoveGripsInside - moves the grips of a planar curve inside of a closed planar boundary.
10. MoveInside - moves a planar curve inside of a closed planar boundary.
11. ReplaceBlock - replaces a block with another block definition.
12. RevCloud - creates revision cloud curves.
13. Revert - reverts to the previously saved document.
14. SelDimStyle - selects dimensions based on their style.
15. SelHatch - selects hatch objects.
16. SelNonManifold - selects non-manifold surfaces and polysurfaces
17. SelRenderColor - selects objects by their diffuse render color (Rhino renderer only).
18. SplitCrv - splits a curve into multiple pieces.
19. SuperExplodeBlock - explodes blocks into component objects (including any nested blocks).
20. SynchronizeRenderColors - synchronizes an object's material color with its display color.
21. UnjoinEdge - unjoins selected polysurface edges. Won't unjoin seams in closed surfaces.
22. VertexColorCreator - generates mesh vertex colors based on a meshes texture.
23. VPoint - sets the viewing direction for parallel-projected views.
