+ | Customers have asked for a way to apply a unique watermark to geometric objects in files so they can be traced. Rhino 5 has added a tool to watermark curves, surfaces, and polysurfaces. The watermark persists when objects are saved, copied, transformed, | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Details ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | There are two new commands in Rhino 5, **ApplyWatermark** and **FindWatermark**. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **ApplyWatermark** | ||
+ | * The ApplyWatermark command asks you for a //watermark pass phrase//, uses the watermark pass phrase to create a watermark, asks you to select objects to watermark, and then applies the watermark to those objects. | ||
+ | * // | ||
+ | * //Watermark pass phrases:// Rhino creates a water mark from a //watermark pass phrase//. Rhino does not save watermark pass phrases and there is no way to recover lost or forgotten watermark pass phrases. Treat watermark pass phrases the same way you treat important and secure passwords. | ||
+ | * //What can be watermarked:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **FindWatermark** | ||
+ | * The FindWatermark command asks you for a watermark pass phrase and then finds all the objects in the model that have a watermark created from that pass phrase. | ||
+ | * // | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Legal Mumbo Jumbo ===== | ||
+ | We know many of our customers would like to know more details and want a perfect way to protect their intellectual property. But ... | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Robert McNeel & Associates provides the watermarking tools //as is//, without express or implied warranty. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Robert McNeel & Associates will not disclose any more details about watermarking. | ||
+ | |||
+ | So, how can you use watermarking to your advantage? If you are sharing a valuable model with an outside entity, watermark every object in the model before you send it out. If you later find a part of your model someplace it should not be, load it into Rhino and see if it has your watermark. | ||
