View native Rhino 3DM files on your iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch

iRhino 3D Share your insight and inspiration


On the iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch
There is nothing like showing your designs and ideas in 3D. Pan, zoom, and rotate with a tap or drag of your finger. The handy navigator lets you scroll through thumbnails, so you can quickly jump to any model you want. Load Rhino models from web sites, Google Docs, email attachments (iPad only), or from iTunes (iPad only). Save views as images for markup and emailing.

    Works great.
    Bit difficult loading content.
    If it were able to open files in DropBox on the iPad it would be fantastic.

    Not soon. We have much more we would like to do on the iPad version before we focus on the small format devices and other platforms.

    Dropbox does seem a lot easier to work with than google docs for moving files around.

    I don't understand why Rhino, as a PC based product, is only offering this for the Apple Market. I would buy this in a heartbeat if it was available for the Android Market (tablets in the Android Market will soon surpass the iPad anyway).

    Hopefully, McNeel will rethink its Apple-only stance to support the rest of the Rhino users who don't use Apple.

    Thanks Devs. I'd like to second the request to read files through dropbox...it's where many people logically archive their designs and also use on the iPhone.

    Please keep in mind that iRhino3D is an app for the iPad. It just happens to run on the iPhone. We will focus more development on pad applications but not on phone application for the foreseeable future.

    Great application! I realy wish the basic commands be part of the app with layers, it will let me do some précise sketches on a building site! my measures will be precise and clean with the right scale. Visual arq would suit pretty well also! Ipad should be more than just a show instrument. great app, best regards

    Android is not only an Os for phones, there are many powerful tablets now. Autodesk released a wonderful Autocad app for Android and it would be really useful if McNeel could do the same.

    I definitely agree there is a need for an Android TABLET app. Most designers were using PC's until very recently. Bob, your right in your thinking about this being strictly a tablet app though. The tablet gives it much more functionality. Good luck with your progress. I'll be keeping a close eye for the Android version. Thanks!

    As a former iPhone 4 user with this app I must say it was awesome. But, like everyone else I sorta "grew up" and went Droid. But alas, I was heartbroken to see that an innovative organization like McNeel isnt very concerned with porting this out to a more superior product like Android. C'mon guys....you know what to do. ;-)

    Usually Rhino users works with a PC and usually they will not buy an Ipad, they could have done it in the past when no android tablet was on the market, but now all Rhino addicted are on Android.
    Why pushing an Apple app??
    By now the latest tablet is better than my old laptop...why I should not use my tablet to work with Rhino while on business trip?
    leave apple app and make business where it is going on.

    I have to say that as an avid iPhone user, I love the Rhino app. That said, I finally got a tablet that would fit in a pocket: the Nexus 7 (Android). I was going to go with an iPad mini, but they don't quite fit in most jacket pockets (or jeans back pocket), and heck, they cost $200 more. The only thing I really miss in the Rhino app... all the other viewers for 3D on Android that I can find are *terrible* compared to iRhino. So... yeah, throwing in my voice here as a person that is sticking with his iPhone, but moving to Android for the tablet.

    What a bunch of whiners! This is a great development done on iPad which is the leading pad . Let these hard working developers take a bit of praise and satisfaction before launching into new demands. As Mr McNeel said have at it with the source code. Dare say not one of the whiners gets past line one of the code before throwing up their hands. By the way I am an artist who loves rhino and has written code too. I know some of what it takes and greatly appreciate this foray...
