Feature availability
A current capability table generated from the application’s Usage Mode policy.
Read the availability table#
A checkmark means the feature is available in that mode. A feature may still require a selected light, a compatible model, an enabled effect or supported device capabilities. Mode availability does not guarantee identical performance on every computer.
The table describes the current application. Released means the capability is implemented in the deployed product; it is not a claim that every device or workflow has no bugs. Beta capabilities, when introduced, will be labeled separately. Proposed work is kept out of this customer reference until it is available.
Change your mode#
Open Studio menu → Preferences → Workspace → Usage Mode to apply your choice immediately. Basic, Professional and Advance are currently device-local interface choices, not paid plans. See Choose your Usage Mode.
NURBS viewing#
Optional NURBS viewing is available in Professional and Advance. It includes surface guides and local/Compute display generation. Basic retains ordinary imported geometry and previously generated meshes. Rhino Compute service configuration and licensing are independent of the interface mode.
