The Rhino panel

Host / Port

Where the Blender add-on is listening. 127.0.0.1 for the same machine.

Connect / Disconnect

Open or close the link. Reconnection is automatic while connected.

Live sync

On: document edits stream continuously. Off: the document is sent only when you ask.

Selection only

Send only the current Rhino selection. Useful for isolating part of a large model.

Shared source

Treat the same file opened on different computers as one source, so the second machine updates the existing objects instead of duplicating them.

Pin source name

Override the automatic name derived from the filename. Stored per document — each file keeps its own pin, and opening another file never inherits it.

Detail

Render-mesh density: Coarse (0.15), Medium (0.5, default), Fine (0.85).

Clean quads

Run QuadRemesh before sending. Produces quad topology. Significantly slower.

Max vertices / object

Objects whose render mesh exceeds this are skipped and named in the log (default 150,000). Raise it for scans or dense terrain; 0 removes the limit. See Troubleshooting.

Select problem objects (n)

Select, in Rhino, every object the last sync flagged — skipped, too heavy, or failed to serialize. Disabled when there is nothing to select.

Filter mode

All, Include, or Exclude.

Objects (n) / Layers (n)

Open a pickable tree with All / None / Invert. The counts show how many are currently selected.

Type switches

Objects, Curves, Lights, Named Views, Text, Blocks, Materials, Clipping planes.

Status

Connection state and the current source name.
