Rhinoceros Export¶
This plugin adds features to simplify the process of getting a scene from Rhinoceros 3D to Ocean
Ocean Export Toolbar¶
The Rhinocean plugin provides a toolbar with 2 functions
On the left is the Export button, with which the user can export the current scene as an .ocxml
file. Clicking on the button opens up a save
dialog that prompts you with the location you want to export your file at.
Right-clicking on the button performs a Quick-Export, which doesn’t prompt you a location if you have already exported your scene at least once.
The button on the right allows the user to export only a Rhinoceros viewport to the clipboard, in ocxml format. After using this button, the data can be pasted on an Instrument node in Ocean.
Ocean Filetype Integration¶
The Ocean XML filetype is added as an available export target. Instead of using the Export Toolbar, it is possible to export the current scene using the File > Save As … menu, as would other exporters do.
Partial exports¶
The plugin also allows to export a selection of scene objects.
In the first screenshot, the user has selected 2 objects in the scene and used the File > Export Selected menu. On the second one the exported scene has been rendered using Ocean, displaying only the objects selected in the Rhinoceros scene.
