PanelingTools supports creating paneling solutions from concept to fabrication. It is a McNeel plug-in that is closely integrated with Rhino and Grasshopper, and is widely used by architectural and other designers.

=====Download PanelingTools for Rhino 7=====
  * **Windows:** Use the PackageManger command in Rhino 7.2 (release candidate) or later (otherwise PT-GH will not load), search for PanelingTools, download and install.
  * **Mac:** PanelingTools comes installed with Rhino 7 for Mac in both Rhino and Grasshopper. There is no PanelingTools menu and you need to use command-line to run the commands (type "pt" and all the commands will auto-complete). (For Rhino 6 for Mac, unzip and drag the files to GH-menu>File>Special-Folders>Components Folder. {{ :labs:pt_gh_mac_11_28_2016.zip |PT-GH_6_DLLS}})
