  • Review model geometry and layers
  • Inspect object properties
  • Check model export settings

Use Rhino on iPad

An iPad gives the Rhino viewport more room. Use it to review a model and its layer structure in the original Mac document.

Can I use Rhino on my iPhone or iPad with Apperture?

Yes — by streaming Rhino from your Mac with Apperture. The desktop app runs on your Mac; your iPhone or iPad displays its window and sends remote input back. You need a reachable, awake Mac with Rhino installed, the free Apperture Mac host, and the Apperture app on your iPhone or iPad.

iRhino 3D is a native mobile viewer. Apperture gives access to the Rhino for Mac window and its installed tools, which differs from viewing an exported or synced model. Rhino product information.
