Interface Overview

Warning

RhinoLands operates as a standalone software and integrates seamlessly with Rhinoceros. When launching RhinoLands independently, you experience the interface shown below. However, if you choose to run Rhinoceros or AutoCAD, the Lands Design tools will be accessible as a plugin toolbar within the usual host software's interface. See Lands Design Interface.
