Thanks for this great Plugin ! We will have a compatible version for Rhino9 WIP ?

64

Hello,

I’ve installed the byRhinoGadget plugin in Rhino 8 using the Package Manager but the toolbar seems to be missing. The Package Manager shows the plugin as installed. Rhino Options>Plug-ins shows it as loaded and enabled. I have access to the commands via the command line. But Rhino Options>Toolbars does not show it as option that can be selected. I’ve uninstalled and re-installed the plugin a few times.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

C:\Users(Your PC name)\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\packages\8.0\byRhinoGadget\1.4.7\net7.0
In that folder, locate the byRhinoGadget.rui file and drop it into the Rhino window you already have open.

Thank you very much!

Please try to load the byRhinoGadget.rhp file from the net7.0 folder within the byRhinoGadget plugin folder. Alternatively, you can try the new version (1.4.8). After installing the plugin, run the byRhinoGadgetHello command; this command will automatically load the byRhinoGadget.rhp file.

68

You can use byRhinoGadget 1.0.12 in Rhino7, but not current version.

69

Sure you can use the plug in in Rhino9WIP too.

Have you tried the current version(1.4.8) ?

72

Hello;

Since the toolbars weren’t visible, I had already loaded the byRhinoGadget.rhp file from the net7.0 folder. It is now automatically updated to 1.4.8. The ‘ byRhinoGadgetHello’ command seems to have solved the problem. Thank you.

73

I’ve encountered the same problem, and the methods mentioned above haven’t worked. Have you found a new way to solve this?

74

C:\Users\’your PC’\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\packages\8.0\byRhinoGadget\1.4.10\net7.0

Does the issue persist even after dragging and dropping the .rui file from the folder mentioned above? Please also check the YouTube link.

Hi @yoon_sanghoon I want to know if the plugin works in V9 Beta, because it’s visible at package manager but the latest release 1.5.1 it’s form April 2026.
Assuming it’s not compatible yet, I would like to know if you have idea of a release date.

76

@laborda, if you’re using the byRhinoGadget plug-in on Rhino 8 and have Rhino Beta installed, running the OptionsMigrate command will load the plug-in, and it’ll work perfectly—just like on Rhino 8.

77

Thanks @yoon_sanghoon

I ran the command byRhinoGadgetHello and it installed something.

Then I received this message:

This version of byRhinoGadget runs in .netcore, please contact to the developer to run in .netfraework.

78

Hi @laborda, for some reason, your Rhino Beta is running on .NET Framework instead of .NET Core. You can switch it by running the SetDotNetRuntime command and selecting ‘NetCore’ from the prompt options. Once that’s done, the byRhinoGadget commands should work perfectly. Is there a specific reason you need to run Rhino Beta on .NET Framework?

79

Thanks a lot @yoon, now it works as expected. I have no idea why I had it this way…
I also have no idea if this is something modified by a plugin, or something I’m not aware.
Anyway thanks, I’ve been waiting a long time to have the plugin working in V9.

“Will it tip over?” — now you get the answer inside Rhino.
Two new commands in byRhinoGadget 1.5.2 for Rhino 8.

:balance_scale: BalanceSim Computes center of mass, support polygon and tipping angle for closed solids, and reports Stable / Unstable / Rolling — plus a safety factor: how many times the current load can be scaled before it fails, and whether tipping or sliding comes first. Multi-body collapses like dominoes are followed by a rigid-body engine(Jitter Physics 2 2.8.10) and exported as an image sequence.

:framed_picture: ImagePacker extracts embedded textures in a .3dm file into a single folder and relinks their file paths. If you have ever experienced your .3dm files bloating because of embedded images, try this command right away!

:high_voltage: Faster edit commands moved from Python to C#, so they come up instantly

  • ChangeDegreePtCrv, ChangeDegreePtSrf, ControlPoint2KinkCrv, ControlPoint2KinkSrf, SetPtLinear, SetPtLinear3D, SetPtToCrv, SetPtToFitPlane, SymmetricCrv, SymmetricSrf, SymmetricDiagonalSrf, plus mkButtons, mkButtonsDome, mkEngrave, mkGraphics.

:cricket:The Grasshopper components moved from GH files to C# as well — they load and run faster, and BezierMapper now toggles between the graph and numeric control-point input: add or remove control points on the graph to change the degree, and type the coordinates directly.

:adhesive_bandage: Fixed

  • Background edits in the Rendering panel were not applied

  • OrientByFace drew a Dot regardless of the Dot option, and left it behind

  • ExtrudeMesh component no longer produces mismatched mesh faces.
