LayerManager

Beta version | Windows only | Developed for Rhino 7

Overview

Lama (LayerManager) is a plugin for Rhinoceros 3D supporting the management, visualization, analysis, and transfer of semantic data.

The data in Lama is linked to the layers in Rhinoceros 3D, so that managing data also means managing layers - this type of feature is unique and facilitates both semantic insights and modeling.

The data is stored in an XML file. You can specify the location of this file, so you are completely free to decide where to store the data - it is your data.
