Download the Orca3D Plug-in for Rhino

The Orca3D plug-in release process will be done in three steps:

1. Work In Progress (WIP) Free; time-limited; new releases posted as necessary The WIP is intended to begin the process of soliciting feedback from the user community. While every attempt is made to release stable code, it does not undergo as thorough a testing process as a commercial release. After receiving feedback, there may be major changes in functionality.
2. Beta Free; time-limited; new releases posted as necessary The beta release is the end of the WIP process; the functionality is frozen, and the code is thoroughly tested and debugged.
3. Commercial Release License purchase required. New releases with minor improvements and fixes will be released from time to time. These updates within a major release are free to those with a license for that major release (e.g. 4.1 to 4.2 is free; 4.x to 5.x will have an upgrade fee).

The current status of the Orca3D Plug-In is WIP. Not all functions are complete, and the documentation is not entirely up to date. You should not consider the WIP to be production code--save your work often!

Orca3D is a plug-in for Rhino. You must have Rhino installed prior to installing Orca3D. If you do not, please download Rhino from the Rhino web site and install it before installing Orca3D.
