Users and colours

See who is in the session, who is online, and which objects each person holds.

The Users list shows everyone who has joined the session. Each person has a colour, which Rhino Sync also uses in the viewport, the chat and live previews.

Show who holds what

Click the circle at the right of a row to Toggle colour user objects.

  • Filled circle: colouring is on. Objects that person holds are drawn in their colour.

  • Ring: colouring is off.

When you colour a teammate:

  • Their objects are drawn in their colour, so you can see what's reserved.

  • You can't select their objects, which avoids undone changes.

When you colour yourself, the objects you haven't synchronized yet are drawn in your colour.

Colouring only works while you collaborate. Rhino Sync refreshes the colours after each reload and synchronize.

Change your colour

Click the colour dot next to your name at the top of the Sync panel, or open Settings and click the colour swatch. Pick a colour. Your teammates see it straight away.

Rhino Sync chooses a colour from your user name until you pick one.
