AI Recommendation
1 suggestionRhino 8 ships natively for Apple Silicon—the standard macOS installer automatically serves the native build on M-series Macs. If you are running an older version of Rhino (version 7 or earlier), update to Rhino 8 to get the native Apple Silicon build, which runs noticeably faster and with better battery life than the Intel version under Rosetta. The easiest path is to download the current Rhino 8 installer from rhino3d.com, which will replace your existing installation. If you hold a valid Rhino license, the installer will guide you through licensing options (Cloud Zoo, single-computer, or local-network). Existing models and scripts carry over without migration steps. Rhino 8 requires macOS 12.4 (Monterey) or later.
