Perhaps it would help to complain to the Apple store that their notebooks need a little kick in the keester. With Macbook “Pros” having a paltry 95-watt thermal/power scheme, iMacs not having the best cooling, and with the new Mac Pro, being quite expensive for their performance, it seems like Apple wants its computers to be designed on Windows computers. I don’t think it’s as simple as: is Grasshopper/Rhino slow.

Is there something I could do to improve its speed? Is there something wrong with my computer or my installation, or is it the expected behavior for Grasshopper on a Mac? I was warned that Rhino/Grasshopper would have lower performance on Mac than on Windows, but this is close to unusable. On my Mac, the file took about 2 minutes 50 seconds just to open.Įvery simple operation, such as zooming in and out, gives me the beach ball…Īnd this is a very simple file, just for learning purposes, with no complicate calculations or elaborate geometry. My colleagues, who have Windows notebooks, are able to open that file in a few seconds and work easily on it, zooming in and out, creating and connecting components, sliding sliders etc. The teacher distributed a file with ‘.gh’ extension and 122 kb size to the students with some components and notes in it.

I’m new to Rhinoceros, I just installed a trial version of Rhinoceros 6.22 on my relatively up to date MacBook Pro (specs below) so that I can attend a introductory course on Grasshopper.
