Getting back to developing plugin

Is there anything special I need to do to compile V6 & V7 plugins for V8?

Rhino 6 and 7 plug-ins work in Rhino 8.

Or is this not the question?

That’s sort of the question. I’m just wondering if there is anything special I have to download/install in order to develop for R8. I thought I had read somewhere that I needed to install Dot Net Core, something, but I can not find the reference.

My plugin that is complete installs and runs fine in R8. I’m still working on the Hydrostatics plugin, RhinoStatics.

Hey Cliff,
You shouldn’t have to download anything special to compile and debug your plugin beyond what you did in Rhino 7. Here are a few things to look at for Rhino 8 that may be helpful. We’re still trying to get all of our documentation up to date.
