Food4Rhino

byRhinoGadget is a collection of script-based commands that were internally used by the Plus Plastic design team to help with simple repetitive tasks or to make small, annoying tasks easier. It is composed of commands that support many Rhino commands and improve work efficiency. The user interface is similar to the Rhino command, so if you are a Rhino user, you can use it immediately after checking the function of the command.
