What is a .GH file?
GH is a Grasshopper visual-programming definition for Rhino. Created and opened by Grasshopper in Rhino.
- Did you know
- Grasshopper lets designers build geometry with visual node graphs instead of code.
- Grasshopper was created by David Rutten at Robert McNeel & Associates and first shipped in 2007 under the name “Explicit History”.
- The .gh file is the binary form of a Grasshopper definition, fully interchangeable with the XML-based .ghx that holds the very same node graph.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify CAD files and read header metadata: AutoCAD DWG (DXF now opens as a 2D drawing preview - see Diagrams), SolidWorks (SLDPRT, SLDASM, plus .sldreg Settings Wizard backups - release year, settings groups and the saved registry keys - and SOLIDWORKS Visualize .svap appearances and .svpj projects, opened as the ZIP packages they are), Fusion 360 (F3D), Inventor (IPT, IAM), Rhino (3DM) and Grasshopper (GH, GHX), SketchUp (SKP), 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, Houdini, ZBrush, Maya, CATIA, Eagle, and KiCad.
- Depth of analysis
- .GH is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .GH file
- Drag a .GH file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
