Rhino Script & Automation Generator
Generate, debug, and optimize RhinoScript and Python
What You Can Do
You can generate, debug, and optimize RhinoScript (VBScript) and Python scripts for Rhino 3D modeling automation and complex parametric workflows. Claude helps you create reusable automation templates, troubleshoot script errors, and accelerate custom plugin development.
Features
with proper geometry manipulation, object selection, and transformation logic
bridge your scripts with Grasshopper components and data trees
identify runtime exceptions, syntax issues, and Rhino API misuse with actionable fixes
analyze code for inefficiencies, batch operations, and memory-safe patterns for large datasets
generate starter frameworks for common tasks (array creation, surface manipulation, batch export)
auto-generate comments, parameter explanations, and usage guides for maintainability
write scripts that connect Rhino to cloud services, databases, or design automation platforms
Example Output
RhinoScript geometry generation:
Function CreateParametricSurface(uCount, vCount, scale)
Dim arrPts(), i, j
ReDim arrPts(uCount-1, vCount-1)
For i = 0 To uCount-1
For j = 0 To vCount-1
arrPts(i,j) = Rhino.AddPoint(i*scale, j*scale, Sin(i+j)*0.5)
Next
Next
CreateParametricSurface = Rhino.AddSurface(arrPts)
End Function
Python script for batch object processing:
import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
def batch_offset_surfaces(guids, distance):
results = []
for guid in guids:
if rs.IsSurface(guid):
offset = rs.OffsetSurface(guid, distance)
results.append(offset)
return results
