Project templates for Rhino 3D

RhinoCommon and Grasshopper template wizards for Rhinoceros 3D

RhinoCommon templates:

• RhinoCommon Plugin - Provides a project with a PlugIn-derived class and a Command-derived class.

• RhinoCommon Command - Adds a single command class item.

• Zoo Plug-ins - Adds a single project with a Zoo plug-in (requires Zoo to be installed).

Features

This extension provides add-on and component wizards for RhinoCommon and Grasshopper projects in C# and VB.NET, and wizards for the Rhino C++ SDK. For RhinoCommon and C++ project templates, this includes utility, digitizier, import and export plug-ins. For Grasshopper project templates, this includes a spiral for an Archimedean spiral component.

It makes setting up debugging easier and automatically references the RhinoCommon and/or Grasshopper NuGet packages. Rhino and Grasshopper are requirements for this wizard to operate correctly.
