Start Rhino for Mac With Enhanced Event Logging

It is sometimes necessary to start Rhino with event logging to diagnose start up or licensing problems. Following are the steps for starting Rhino with logging:

3) Open a Terminal session from Launchpad or Spotlight.

4) Start Rhinoceros using this command:

 /Applications/Rhino\ 7.app/Contents/MacOS/Rhinoceros -RhinoLog

5) Rhino will now log many messages to Console. You want to run Rhino until you get to the point where bugs or errors are happening. Once you have run with the unintended behavior happening, in Console, you can Pause the logging and filter the results to Rhinoceros
