A loader for Rhinoceros 3d files and objects.
Rhinoceros is a 3D modeler used to create, edit, analyze, document, render, animate, and translate NURBS curves, surfaces, breps, extrusions, point clouds, as well as polygon meshes and SubD objects.
[link:https://github.com/mcneel/rhino3dm rhino3dm.js] is compiled to WebAssembly from the open source geometry library [link:https://github.com/mcneel/opennurbs openNURBS].
The loader currently uses rhino3dm.js 0.15.0-beta.
The [name] converts Rhino objects to the following three.js types:
| 3dm type | three.js type |
|---|---|
| Point | [page:Points Points] |
| PointSet | [page:Points Points] |
| TextDot | [page:Sprite Sprite] |
| Curve | [page:Line Line] 1 |
| Mesh | [page:Mesh Mesh] |
| Extrusion | [page:Mesh Mesh] 2 |
| BREP | [page:Mesh Mesh] 2 |
| SubD | [page:Mesh Mesh] 3 |
| InstanceReferences | [page:Object3D Object3D] |
| DirectionalLight | [page:DirectionalLight DirectionalLight] |
| PointLight | [page:PointLight PointLight] |
| RectangularLight | [page:RectAreaLight RectAreaLight] |
| SpotLight | [page:SpotLight SpotLight] |
| File3dm | [page:Object3D Object3D] 4 |
1 NURBS curves are discretized to a hardcoded resolution.
2 Types which are based on BREPs and NURBS surfaces are represented with their "Render Mesh". Render meshes might not be associated with these objects if they have not been displayed in an appropriate display mode in Rhino (i.e. "Shaded", "Rendered", etc), or are created programmatically, for example, via Grasshopper or directly with the rhino3dm library.
3 SubD objects are represented by subdividing their control net.
4 Whether a Rhino Document (File3dm) is loaded or parsed, the returned object is an [page:Object3D Object3D] with all Rhino objects (File3dmObject) as children.
5 All resulting three.js objects have useful properties from the Rhino object (i.e. layer index, name, etc.) populated in their userData object.
// Instantiate a loader
const loader = new Rhino3dmLoader();
// Specify path to a folder containing WASM/JS libraries or a CDN.
//loader.setLibraryPath( '/path_to_library/rhino3dm/' );
loader.setLibraryPath( 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/rhino3dm@0.15.0-beta/' );
// Load a 3DM file
loader.load(
// resource URL
'model.3dm',
// called when the resource is loaded
function ( object ) {
scene.add( object );
},
// called as loading progresses
function ( xhr ) {
console.log( ( xhr.loaded / xhr.total * 100 ) + '% loaded' );
},
// called when loading has errors
function ( error ) {
console.log( 'An error happened' );
}
);
[example:webgl_loader_3dm]
[page:LoadingManager manager] — The [page:LoadingManager loadingManager] for the loader to use. Default is [page:LoadingManager THREE.DefaultLoadingManager].
Creates a new Rhino3dmLoader.
See the base [page:Loader] class for common properties.
See the base [page:Loader] class for common methods.
[page:String url] — A string containing the path/URL of the `.3dm` file.
[page:Function onLoad] — A function to be called after the loading is successfully completed.
[page:Function onProgress] — (optional) A function to be called while the loading is in progress. The argument will be the XMLHttpRequest instance, that contains .[page:Integer total] and .[page:Integer loaded] bytes. If the server does not set the Content-Length header; .[page:Integer total] will be 0.
[page:Function onError] — (optional) A function to be called if an error occurs during loading. The function receives error as an argument.
Begin loading from url and call the `onLoad` function with the resulting Object3d.
[page:ArrayBuffer buffer] — An ArrayBuffer representing the Rhino `File3dm` document.
[page:Function onLoad] — A function to be called after the loading is successfully completed.
[page:Function onError] — (optional) A function to be called if an error occurs during loading. The function receives error as an argument.
Parse a File3dm ArrayBuffer and call the `onLoad` function with the resulting Object3d. See this example for further reference.

[page:String value] — Path to folder containing the JS and WASM libraries.
// Instantiate a loader
const loader = new Rhino3dmLoader();
// Specify path to a folder containing the WASM/JS library:
loader.setLibraryPath( '/path_to_library/rhino3dm/' );
// or from a CDN:
loader.setLibraryPath( 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/rhino3dm@0.15.0-beta/' );
[page:Number workerLimit] - Maximum number of workers to be allocated. Default is 4.
Sets the maximum number of [link:https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API/Using_web_workers Web Workers] to be used during decoding. A lower limit may be preferable if workers are also for other tasks in the application.
Disposes of the loader resources and deallocates memory.
