Hi everyone,
I cannot open any STP or STEP files in my Rhino7 program. When I do attempt to open a file, no objects load and I receive this text in this order…
‘Blocking plug-in Renderer Development Kit UI’
‘Blocking plug-in Displacement’
‘Blocking plug-in STEP Import’
I have tried searching for solutions and cannot find anything matching my issue. How can I open these STP files? Only recently I cannot open these files. Any suggestions?
Hi -
Please run the Rhino SystemInfo command and copy-paste the result here.
-wim

Thanks.
When you run PlugInManager, are those plug-ins enabled?
-wim
Those three were the only three unselected. Should they be selected and installed?
And when I say those three I mean the Renderer Development Kit UI, Displacement, and STEP Import.
Check the enable box of all three and either restart Rhino, or right-click on each one and choose the Load plug-in option.
All three should then show “yes” as loaded.
Then try your import again.
Ah finally that worked! Wonderful, thank you for sharing your knowledge!
