	====== ~~Exporting~~ Using Rhino for Windows Display Modes to in Rhino for Mac ======

	Display modes can be exported ~~out for~~ from Rhino for Windows and imported in into Rhino for Mac.
	However, there is one step you may not be aware of. Rhino for Windows ~~export~~ exports the INI in text format in UTF-16-LE. Programs on the Mac can not read this format. {{::windows.png?400\|}}

	After exporting the INI from Rhino for Windows, open in in //Notepad// and save it as UTF-8 or ASCI.
	Then send it to to your Mac computer and import as a display mode. Below are the detailed steps.

	==== ~~FIRST On~~ Export from Rhino for Windows ====
	- In Rhino for Windows, go to Options -> View -> Display Mode.

	- Pick File -> Save AS.

	- Transfer the file to the Mac (email, shared drive or dropbox.)

	==== ~~SECOND~~ Text Editor in Mac (Option 2) ====
	- On the Mac, you will need to download a Text Editor like [[https://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit//\|BBedit]] for Mac.
