Made for Rhino

Works the way you already work

Your file stays on your computer

The plug-in hands the piece to HeyGema on your own computer. Your .3dm never reaches our servers. Only pictures of the view you render are sent.

Opens at your Rhino angle

The camera of your active viewport comes with the piece, so the first render matches what you were looking at.

Rhino 7, 8 and 9

On Windows and Mac. Rhino 8 and 9 open HeyGema in its own window. Rhino 7 opens it in your browser.
