Speckle for Rhino 8 is available (as early release)

Plug Ins

We’re excited to announce that Rhino 8 connector is available with the latest 2.19.0-wip release. It took a little longer than expected due to some breaking changes with Rhino 8, but we’re glad it’s finally here! This wip release is for community testing :partying_face:. If you’re not feeling particularly adventurous, just stick to the stable 2.17 version for now to avoid any interruptions to your ongoing projects.

The official release for Rhino 8 connector will be available with the stable 2.19 release.

How to install it?

To install 2.19.0-wip release for the Rhino Connector:

  1. Inside the “Rhino Connector” page, switch to the “Versions” tab.
  2. Toggle on the “Show Pre-releases” option at the top.
  3. From this list, select the 2.19.0-wip release.
  4. Click on the “Install” button next to it.

The good news is that the latest release of Rhino 8 no longer requires the compatibility mode manual install hack workaround. So, please make sure you revert those changes:

  1. Run SetDotNetRuntime command.
  2. Switch it to Default.

Once you do these changes, you’ll be ready to use our connector inside Rhino 8!

Right now, this early release has the principal new feature of supporting Rhino 8 (+GH) :smiley:

Hello! When I’m opening the Rhino connectors I can’t see the Version 2.19 (I’m working on Macbook). Is there a way to enable it?
The pre-releases is on. Thank you :slight_smile:

Hi,
Great release!
I see that the user text data added to geometries insides blocks are deleted when sent and received through speckle.
Is it a bug or is it in the plans to add it?

I’ll check in on that, that may be an existing issue.

This early release is a direct port of our older connector for Rhino 7 - were quite keen to develop with the new goodness around Rhino 8 object data in main app and also GH
