+ | ====== Coming from Rhino for Windows? ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Are you coming from Rhino for Windows? | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Where are the toolbars? ===== | ||
+ | By default, Rhino for Mac presumes you are not coming from Rhino for Windows. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Toolbars and tool palettes ===== | ||
+ | * Rhino for Mac has //tool buttons// that invoke Rhino commands in the standard Macintosh toolbar. | ||
+ | * Rhino for Mac also has //tool palettes// that are windows containing a collection of tool buttons. \\ A tool palette of frequently-used tool buttons opens at the left of the document window when Rhino for Mac starts. | ||
+ | * Tool palette buttons can contain one or two commands and a menu. | ||
+ | * Hover the mouse over a tool palette button to display the button' | ||
+ | * **Click** the tool palette button to invoke the **primary** command. | ||
+ | * To invoke the **alternate** command, hold down the **Option** key and **click** the tool button. | ||
+ | * Tool palette buttons containing a menu have a small triangle in the lower left corner. | ||
+ | * To open the menu, click and briefly hold the tool palette button. | ||
+ | * Tool palette menus can also be displayed as floating tool palettes. | ||
+ | * To display a floating tool palette, hold down the **Option** key and click and hold down the mouse button. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Mouse ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Recommendations** | ||
+ | |||
+ | * For easy right-mouse navigation, a two‑button mouse with a scroll wheel is recommended, | ||
+ | * To duplicate right-mouse actions with a one-button mouse, hold down the **Control** key and click the mouse button. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Navigation** | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **Right-mouse button drag** and **Shift+right-mouse button drag** operations are the same as in Rhino for Windows. See [[http:// | ||
+ | * Use the scroll wheel to zoom in and out in a view. | ||
+ | * If you have a one-button mouse, you hold down the **Control**, | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Right-click context menu ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Right-click in a viewport displays a context menu. | ||
+ | * By default right-click does **not** act as **Enter** to repeat the last command. \\ To change this, in **Rhinoceros** > **Preferences** > **Mouse** > **Mouse**, turn off **Enable context menus**. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Command line ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you are used to the command line in Rhino for Windows, all the functionality of the Rhino for Windows command line is in Rhino for Mac. To start a command, just start typing. Your text will appear in the command field in the left sidebar. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you also like to type the command option values, each option prompt has one of its letters underlined. You can type that letter and press Return to invoke that option. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You never need to move the cursor at all when typing values in the command options dialog. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Keyboard ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Rhino for Windows uses the **Control** key for many operations. On the Mac version, use the **Command** key instead. | ||
+ | * For example, **Command** click replaces **Ctrl** click to deselect objects. | ||
+ | * Also, the **Command** key replaces the **Ctrl** key for navigation shortcuts: | ||
+ | |||
+ | | | | |**Key** | **Action** | **+ Command key** | | ||
+ | | | | |**Left Arrow** | Rotate left | Pan left | | ||
+ | | | | |**Right Arrow** | Rotate right | Pan right | | ||
+ | | | | |**Up Arrow** | Rotate up | Pan up | | ||
+ | | | | |**Down Arrow** | Rotate down | Pan down | | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Laptop issues ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | **Bluetooth mouse**\\ Since laptops ship with a trackpad, a Bluetooth mouse such as the Logitech V270 is a useful addition. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Missing keyboard keys**\\ A laptop keyboard does not have a separate **Home**, **End**, **PageDn**, or **PageUp** key, but the **fn** key in combination with other keys duplicates the key function. \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | | **Key** | **+ fn key** | | ||
+ | | **Up Arrow** | Page Up | | ||
+ | | **Down Arrow** | Page Down | | ||
+ | | **Left Arrow** | Home | | ||
+ | | **Right Arrow** | End | | ||
+ | | **Delete** | Delete | | ||
