If you are looking to import a Rhino 6 or 7 RUI, you can do that here in Rhino 8: Go to Options → Appearance → Toolbars and pick the Gear to import a Rhino 7 RUI into Rhino 8.

In this section of Rhino 8, you can save and restore unique layouts of toolbars. This is part of the new UI system that is shared by both Rhino 8 for Windows and for Mac.

WindowLayout is also a command that you can type in.

Aliases are in their own file. In Rhino 6 or 7 you can go to Options → Aliases → Export to export an ini file. In Rhino 8, Options → Aliases → Import to import this file.

Rhino System options like Keyboard shortcuts, Modeling aids settings, Files settings and more can be saved from Rhino 6 or 7 with the OptionsExport command.

In Rhino 6 or 7, type OptionsExport or choose it from the Tools menu, and write the ini file. In Rhino 8, type OptionsImport or choose it from the Tools menu, and import the ini file.

The Toolbar file format .TB can not be imported directly into Rhino 8. It is a legacy format that is no longer supported by Rhino 8 or newer versions.

As a workaround, if you have Rhino 6 or 7 for Windows, you can import the Toolbar and save as a RUI. This is located in Options → Toolbars → File.

• In Rhino 8 Windows, go the Options → Toolbars → File, and open the RUI.
• In Rhino 8 Mac, go the Rhino 8 → Settings → Toolbars → File, and open the RUI.

If you do not have Rhino for Windows versions 6 or 7 and you have Rhino 8, you can download a legacy key here and and install Rhino 6 or 7. Download Rhino from Archives here.

However, if you have one or two .TB files that you need saved as .RUI files, email tech@mcneel.com and attach the files. We are happy to help.
