It is sometimes necessary for a developer or tech support to request console log messages from Rhino to diagnose a bug or crash.

**To find Console messages**

  - In **Applications > Utilities**, start the **Console** program.  This can also be found from Spotlight or Launchpad.
  - In the left column, click **All Messages**.
  - In the **Filter** box, type **rhinoceros**.

You now have a number of log messages about Rhino. A number of messages probably with nearly the same date and time.
