Hi everyone, I’ve created a custom C# component that I’m using across multiple Grasshopper scripts. I’d like to know the best way to update this component automatically in all scripts if I make changes to it in the future. Also, other people in my company will be using this component, so I’m looki…

If this is not a reason for a precompiled plugin, then I don’t know… Scripts are fine for most cases, but when you share code and you want to update it, then the only sane way would be to write a custom plugin.

Thanks @TomTom and @AndersDeleuran I will try that, thanks! :slight_smile:
