Editor Options dialog (Tools > Options menu) provides access to editor and language settings that are persistent.
Hovering over help icons provides more information about each option:
General Options
General options are under General tab of Editor Options dialog and are self explanatory:
Grasshopper Script Editor has a few layout options under General tab. Window menu also shows toggles for these options:
Window > Toggle * menu items provide toggles for Editor UI elements. Editor remembers the last UI layout before it is closed. See Layout Options: Python or C# for more information on these options.
Editing Options
Editing options are language-specific. Each language tab has its own editing options:
Edit > Toggle * menu items provide toggles for some of the options. These changes are in-session only and do not get saved to settings file. See Editing Features for more information on these options.
Language Support Options
Language Support options are language-specific. Each language tab has its own language options:
Edit > Toggle * menu items provide toggles for some of the options. These changes are in-session only and do not get saved to settings file. See Editing Features for more information on these options.
Python Paths
Scripts Path
By default, Rhino adds these paths to Python 2 and 3 search paths (sys.path):
On Windows:
- Shared
%PROGRAMDATA%\McNeel\Rhinoceros\<version>.0\scripts(if exists) - User
%APPDATA%\McNeel\Rhinoceros\<version>.0\scripts
On macOS:
- Shared
/Users/Shared/McNeel/Rhinoceros/<version>.0/scripts(if exists) - User
~/Library/Application Support/McNeel/Rhinoceros/<version>.0/scripts
Note that the first path on either platform, is the shared path and takes precedence over the user path. So if python module test is available in both paths, the one under shared path will be imported. Shared scripts path are not created by default so there is not a conflict unless you, your system admin, or other third-party plugin intentionally places python modules or scripts in this path.
Editor Paths
You can add a list of other search paths for each Python version in Editor options:
Note that the order of these paths is important. First path on the list would be the first path to be search for a module.
Editor stores these paths in two .rhinocode/python-3.pth and .rhinocode/python-2.pth files. See Path Files for more information.
