Orca3D on Mac

[victor soto]

Hello forum,

As many of you I am a Mac user, I love it, unfortunately we know that Orca3D does not run over Mac, so I just want to share that I solved that problem using VirtualBox from Sun Microsistems.

I know that is not a native application as we like but, it really helps if you don't want to use BootCamp and restart your Mac, is totally free and there Rhino and ALL its plugins works perfect, of course Orca3D as well. Only disadvantage: does not work the sound cards, so if you love to listen music when you design just bring your MP3 player.

Also make sure to  install the "Guest additions" that is under devices tab.

I hope this info helps you,

Best regards.

Victor was kind enough to share a screen capture (attached) of some of the settings that he used on his implementation of VirtualBox on his Mac. We have not tested VirtualBox on a Mac, but we have tested it on a PC and it seems to run smoothly.
