thanks sorry i am an architect and not a computer wizard. is there anyway to get more direct help with getting this to work? like sharing my screen with you? i am happy to pay for this service i just cant see where the problem could be an now kangarro2 is not working in any Rhino version.
You should have the following:
- C:\Program Files\Rhino 6\Plug-ins\Grasshopper\Components
- Kangaroo2Components.gha
- KangarooSolver.dll
- %AppData%\Grasshopper\Libraries
- Kangaroo2.gha*
- KangarooSolver.dll
*Note that the GHA is called âKangaroo2.ghaâ in the version that @DanielPiker publishes on Food4Rhino. You donât need a .no6
files unless you change the name of this file.
Iâve just tested this and Kangaroo2 works in both Rhino 5 and Rhino 6 without any conflict errors.
You shouldnât have the Kangaroo2 GHA or DLL anywhere else.
i just cleaned up my directories as you have written here however Kangaroo2 is still missing:
Are you getting any loading errors now on Grasshopper startup?
hi Will and Daniel,
so now Rhino6 is set up with the 2 directories as you have suggested here and it works. i am very grateful.
however i wanted to look at a test resistance grasshopper file and apparently need Kangaroo .099 for this since for example the Grasshopper i have now does not have PulltoMesh? also, wanted to look at tensegrity and this needs Kangaroo .089 s
when i try to PackageRestore i get the message ânot all plug-ins were found on the package serverâ.
can you advise, do i need to download both Kangaroo .089 and .099 and replace files in my directories?
It would be better to make a separate topic about what specifically you want to do.
Instead of trying to make an old example work using old versions, Iâd recommend just describing the aim and I can point you to some examples or how to go about it with the current version.
Rhino 7 here.
Iâm trying a circle packing definition from another thread and when I load it, I get the âAssembly Reference could not be resolvedâ error, mentionning the âKangarooSolver.dllâ component.
This comes on top of a long history of confusing Kangaroo installs, including old and new versions existing concurrently, âPlanktonâ appendages, extraneous components like MeshMachineâŚ
Daniel, Iâm a big fan of your work, but at this point, would it be possible to tidy-up in such a way that we donât spend more time hunting for files than actually using your fantastic tools ?
