-=Cheap Documentation For 3DM (Rhino) Viewer=- Building: If you are not well acquainted with QT: Go to http://www.qtsoftware.com/downloads and download the Qt SDK Complete Development Environment corresponding to which operating system you use. You will need to build the openNURBS library for your system. This is done by entering the opennurbs subdirectory and running make. On windows you may need to use the "QT Command Prompt" in order to do this. Use QT Creator to open up the .PRO file found in this directory. From here you can modify the source or press CNTL+R to build then run the program. Included in this directory is a test 3dm file (test.3dm) which includes a wide variety of geometry (meshes, surfaces, a curve, some points, a point cloud). If you are more acquainted with QT development then the instructions are a lot simpler: run make in the opennurbs directory then qmake and make in the main directory. Using the program: When it starts there are no models loaded. No, it doesn't support loading models from the command line right now. Push the "Open File" button to find a 3dm file to load. Once the model is loaded you will probably have to click back in the main window (I'll fix it soon). Left clicking and dragging will rotate. So will using the arrow keys (up, down, left, right). The mouse wheel will zoom (sorry, no other way right now).
