2. Mathematica (or Wolfram Desktop; version 11 or higher)
3. Rhino (version 6)
4. Recommended: Graphics card for rendering

Setup instructions

The commands for step 1. through 3. can be found in this setup.nb notebook.

1. Install the paclet for the Wolfram Language:

PacletInstall["https://github.com/WolframResearch/RhinoLink/releases/download/v0.9/RhinoLink-0.9.0.paclet"]

2. Load the package:

Needs["RhinoLink`"]

3. Run the following command to install the Wolfram Language plugin into Rhino:

InstallRhinoPlugin[]

4. Quit Mathematica

5. Start Rhino

6. In Rhino's command line window, evaluate the command below:

WolframConnect

7. Start Mathematica. Step 8. through 10. are also in the example.nb notebook.

8. Using Evaluation > Notebook's Kernel set the notebook's kernel to RhinoAttach:

9. Load the package:

Needs["RhinoLink`"]

10. Run the following command to deploy a sphere from the Wolfram Language to Rhino:

RhinoShow @ ToRhino @ BoundaryDiscretizeGraphics @ Sphere[]

11. View the result in Rhino:

12. Render the result in Rhino:

13. Now you can work with more complicated scenes and renderings:
