### Requirements

* Rhino with the **Finch plugin installed**
* A finalized variant in **Finch**

***

### Step-by-Step: Import 2D Floor Plan Data

**Finch Plugin in Rhino → Select `Import 2D`**

1. Open your project in Rhino.
2. Navigate to the **Finch plugin**.
3. Choose **Import 2D**.
4. Switch to **Plan View**.
5. Turn off the main “Finch” layer to reveal the imported content.

**What gets imported?**

* All floor plans from Finch, separated by layers:
  * Outer walls
  * Inner walls
  * Furniture
  * Space types
  * Room labels / color coding (if applied)

> *These layers make it easy to organize, select, or hide content in Rhino for continued work.*

### Step-by-Step: Import 3D Unit Data

**Finch Plugin in Rhino → Advanced → Select `Import 3D`**

1. After finishing 2D import (optional), switch to **Perspective View**.
2. From the **Advanced tab**, click **Import 3D**.
3. The 3D geometry of your unit plans will load into the model.

**What gets imported?**

* Full unit plans in 3D:
  * Interior walls
  * Story walls and floor plates
  * Spatial divisions between units
* Everything is imported on **organized layers**:
  * Turn on/off units, cores, partitions as needed

### Summary

| Import Type | Use Case                           | What You Get                                     |
| ----------- | ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| 2D          | Continue drafting or documentation | Clean plan layers: walls, furniture, space types |
| 3D          | Visualization, clash checking      | Modeled units with full interior wall layouts    |

***

### 📎 Next Steps

Now that your model is in Rhino, you can:

* Add detail and layer materials
* Prepare renderings
* Export to other tools like Enscape, Twinmotion, or V-Ray
* Create construction documents or schematic layouts
