Hi! I’m a big fan of the wires renderer plugin (many thanks 秋水!), it makes my canvases look organised and it is easier to maintain overview. It doesn’t seem to load correctly in Rhino 8 and I understand it has something to do with .NET framework or Core not matching with the plugin’s build. Now my script looks like chaos in Rhino 8. Wondering if the wires renderer can become a native function in Grasshopper? Would be a fantastic future feature
Just be aware that this feature can only work if you patch Grasshopper (during runtime). I agree, that this is a great feature, but also be aware that using such plugins is risky.
100% agree, I made a similar thing some years ago where I gave each wire a unique color and replaced the bezier wires with polyline under certain condition. This is why I know whats possible. Essentially the difference to a normal plugin here is that it doesn’t only add features, it modifies the original code. This can not only cause problematic side-effects on each new GH version, it is essentially also typical behavior of malware. You cannot trust that McNeel is checking plugins properly.
