Third-Party Dependencies

OpenNURBS

The 3D Rhino visual uses the OpenNURBS Rhino3dm.js to read Rhino 3DM files into Power BI. “Robert McNeel & Associates feel that the 3D market is stifled because of the inability to reliably transfer 3D geometry between applications. The problem is too big for us to solve alone. By funding the operating cost of openNURBS, others will get involved in the toolkit design and development. It will be a much cheaper and effective way to solve the problem.” More information on OpenNURBS can be found at: https://www.rhino3d.com/opennurbs
