About RVB files

An .RVB file is a text-based automation script written in VBScript for Rhinoceros 3D, a popular CAD modeling application. These scripts are used to create macros, automate repetitive geometry tasks, and build custom tools within Rhino. However, .RVB files rely on Microsoft's legacy VBScript technology, which can be a major source of frustration today: they are completely incompatible with Rhino for Mac, and Microsoft is actively deprecating VBScript in Windows environments. This means sharing an .RVB file often leads to "file format not supported" errors for colleagues on Apple Silicon or modern OS versions. To ensure long-term access and cross-platform compatibility, users should convert .RVB scripts to TXT or PDF for documentation, or port the logic to PY (Python) for execution on both Windows and Mac versions of Rhino.

Convert.Guru analyzes your RVB file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted RHL, RHP and 3DMBAK files.

The RVB Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our RVB converter.
