Vectorworks can import Rhino objects (Rhino 7 and earlier).
During Rhino 3DM import:
Points are imported as a group of 3D loci.
NURBS curves are imported as a group of NURBS curves.
NURBS surfaces are imported as a group of NURBS surfaces.
Closed solids are imported as a group of imported solids
Open solids are imported as a group of NURBS surfaces.
If there is only one element in the Rhino 3DM file, it is imported as a single element rather than grouped.
Imported solids cannot be ungrouped or edited through the Edit Group command; they can be used in solid operations.
To import a Rhino 3DM file:
Select the command and then the file to import.
The Import Rhino 3DM Options dialog box opens.
Select Import as symbol to import the file contents as a symbol definition in the Resource Manager; for more information, see Resource Manager and Concept: Vectorworks symbols.
