Toolbars

RhinoArtisan uses Rhino for Mac’s own toolbars. The Artisan toolbar is the starting point; its buttons run commands or open toolbars for a particular task.

For the toolbar image and a visual guide to each button, see Main Toolbar.

Show the toolbar

The toolbar is installed with the Mac package. If it is hidden or closed, type ArtisanToolbar in Rhino’s command line and press Enter.

You can dock, float, show and hide the Artisan toolbars using Rhino’s toolbar controls. Their buttons may wrap onto more than one row as you change the available width.

Open tools and other toolbars

• Click a command button to run its tool. Commands with parameters open in the Artisan panel.
• Use the small triangle on a button to open its linked toolbar, such as Curves, Shanks or Gem Settings.
• Right-click a button with an alternate action to run that action directly.

For example, right-click Import Elements to export elements by type, or 3D Print in the Manufacturing toolbar to choose the printing application. The corresponding tool’s help page explains its actions.

Arrange your workspace

Keep Artisan and the toolbars you use most within reach, and open the others as needed. For docked windows such as Outliner and Layers, see Panels.
