Rhino Interface

Semantic Panel

The “SemanticPanel” command will activate a user interface for creating, editing, and assigning custom attributes to Rhino objects. The tool also features a query command for creating custom tabular reports of Rhino object data.


Each section of the UI is described below, from the top of the dockable interface to the bottom:

Icons:

These icons are links to information, and hovering over each will display a tooltip indicating their purpose.

  • The “Play” icon, or arrow pointing right, will open a documentation page featuring video tutorials for learning Semantic in your browser.
  • The “Star” icon will open the Release Notes documentation page, where new features will be highlighted
  • The “Question Mark” icon will open the Semantic Documentation main menu, where users can browse through topics or search for a specific issue

Document Properties:

  • This section will display information for the property group(s) instantiated for the Rhino file.
  • Internal properties, referring to the common properties which can be assigned to all Rhino objects, should be included by default

Version Number:
