Frequetly Asked Questions

How much does it cost?

Nothing. Bubble for Rhino is free (at no cost) for personal and commercial use.

Why 3.0 is the first version and what happened to 1.0 and 2.0?

Bubble has been a widely used tool for AutoCAD platform since year 2000. Starting at version 3.0, Bubble will work on Rhino too.

Is Bubble for AutoCAD dead?

No, it isn't. Bubble for AutoCAD will be updated to version 3.0 soon.

Can I share the Bubble for Rhino installer with my friends?

Yes, you can, and we'll be very grateful. We want as many people as possible to use Bubble.

Does Bubble modify the document?

No, is doesn't. Bubble is a read-only plug-in, and it will not modify any document you may open.

Will Bubble show information for any object in the document?

No, it won't. The current version only supports the most common and native object in Rhino. Objects from other plug-ins and visual glyphs (like grids, axis icon, etc.) are not supported.

Can I change which properties are shown in the tooltip?

Yes, you can. All customizable options are inside the Rhino options dialog.

Is it possible to change the order of the shown properties?

No, currently it is not possible, but it'll be in a future version.

I'm a Rhino plug-in developer. Can I extend Bubble for Rhino to show properties for my plug-in objects as in the AutoCAD version?

No, you can't do it right now. We want to create an SDK for Bubble for Rhino to allow plug-ins to extend it adding new properties for document objects or adding support for more kinds of UI elements (toolbars, dialogs, etc.). We need to reach a more stable and feature-complete version of Bubble to make this SDK public.

Where can I report bugs, feedback or suggestions?

You can use any of the contact channels we have in the contact page.

May I promote Bubble in my page/blog?

Yes, of course! As a recommendation, you should use a link to the Bubble home page with the following image.
