An unhandled exception of type ‘System.DllNotFoundException’ occurred in Newtonsoft.Json.dll
Additional information: Unable to load DLL ‘rhcommon_c’: The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E) occurred
Except I’m not sure how to reference the rhcommon_c.DLL
I thought just having the DLLs together would enable referencing between the two.
Hey Nathan,
You typically wouldn’t use RhinoCommon in your project for compute.rhino3d.com. You would use one of the Rhino3dmIO nuget packages and include the C# sdk source file in order to get compute access to functions that exist inside of RhinoCommon BUT NOT in Rhino3dmIO. I’ll try to slap a quick example together.
Note, you’ll also need to add a reference to JSON.NET in order for things to work.
Got it. That was my initial setup… just swapped openNurbs for rhinocommon due to some issues… but let me check again.
Steve now I’m getting the original error
An unhandled exception of type ‘System.BadImageFormatException’ occurred in Newtonsoft.Json.dll
Additional information: An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B) occurred
You may need to force your application to be 64 bit (or prefer 64 bit). I’m not sure if we are still producing 32 bit versions of Rhino3dmIO. I’m checking on this.
Awesome. That worked. I’m up and running! This is awesome!
Steve, I can share my project with you if you’d like to have a quick start project.
Are you using the Rhino6 version of Rhino3dmIO? That seemed to work for me without a problem.
This is what I’m using to test
using System;
using Rhino.Compute;
namespace MakeAMesh
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
ComputeServer.ApiToken = setyouremailaddresshere;
var sphere = new Rhino.Geometry.Sphere(Rhino.Geometry.Point3d.Origin, 12);
var sphereAsBrep = sphere.ToBrep();
// above is just ordinary Rhino3dmIO calls
// the next line is a call to the compute.rhino3d.com server
var meshes = MeshCompute.CreateFromBrep(sphereAsBrep);
// and back to using Rhinoe3dmIO locally
Console.WriteLine($"Got {meshes.Length} meshes");
for (int i = 0; i < meshes.Length; i++)
{
Console.WriteLine($" {i + 1} mesh has {meshes[i].Vertices.Count} vrtices");
}
Console.WriteLine("press any key to exit");
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}
I’ll create a repo where we can start dumping samples. Let me know what your github account is and I’ll make you a contributor. Thanks!! Very exciting.
I’m using the latest publicly available nuget package 5.1.30000.25… that would probably explain why I had to comment out two methods in the RhinoCompute.cs But it’s working.
my github account is: nadlowe
Thanks!
That is old. There are V6 Rhino3dmIO libraries that you should be getting from nuget.
I just created a repo at
and sent you an invite as a collaborator. Thanks
Thanks!
Did a quick performance test to determine how I might overcome the performance hit of making a rest request for every Compute operation. Just as first swing I’m testing Parallel.Foreach due to simplicity.

This is building up to an ask about enabling the bulk send of requests to an endpoint via a queue.
I’m trying to propose a solution that minimizes your alls’ work. And uses the same automated API build, I’m assuming you’re using.
If it would be helpful, I could build a ConcurrentQueue and async method which packages all the requests per endpoint into an array of objects within the json payload (with an uuid appended to each)… then the endpoint code could keep its same automated build of just appending “/” to construct method addresses as it currently does… but there would need to be an additional extension method which could be another depth of endpoint or a header which enables submitting a package of requests to the endpoint. Then the API build code could use another Generic extension method to accept an array of results and respond back with an array of responses with the aforementioned ids.
On my side, each Post method would then block the return synchronously for the total async package result to return with all the results (I would set a max requests per package or a 500ms to 1 second timeout to send the package).
I can mockup my side of this… IF THIS SOUNDS WORTHWHILE 
… but really until I can get response times within 300% of a native local machine method call… this will be just a demo project.
Right now compute.rhino3d.com is a single moderately powered computer sitting somewhere like Virginia. It may make more sense to bring up a second computer on the west coast with a load balancer in front to see how that affects performance.
If you have something that you can mock up for your idea I would be interested in seeing it. I’m a little confused about what you are describing and something like a mock up may help.
I’m also wondering how realistic of a use case this test is. There is a bit of overhead in serializing geometry to JSON format for communicating with compute.rhino3d.com. It may make more sense to come up with a new endpoint that accepts a single Brep and a list of curves or lines to compute intersections instead.
I’ll do a mock up…
I’m trying to prevent any manual per method additional work for you guys…
my test case is just a test case and does not represent the range of methods nor the specific type…
I totally recognize the I/O being heavier than the operation issue. But this is present in let’s say Grasshopper dataTrees as well… where each item in each branch runs a RhinoCommon method again…
basically my hunch is that the I/O overhead of the http request is significantly more limiting than the overhead of a running a method multiple times per request.
This isn’t really a problem. The way I have things structured I would add a function to RhinoCommon that would become available in SR4. This same function would also become available on the compute server.
I appreciate it; thanks.
For the benefit of anyone else reading this, you should be using one of the newer Rhino3dmIO nuget packages, like Rhino3dmIO.Desktop.
