Hello, Im trying to upload a definition but ShapeDiver complains Im using Kangaroo 2.5.3 while only until 2.5.2 is supported. I was on the understanding 2.6 should be installed. I even dont have any Kangaroo component in my definition. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Alejandro!
We’re aware of this issue. This is happening because for some reason Rhino 7 has been released on Mac bundled with Kangaroo 2.5.3, while on Windows it shipped with 2.5.2. ShapeDiver runs instances of Rhino 7 on Windows. The solution to this is only to wait for an update to Rhino 7 on Windows, since Kangaroo is not a 3rd party plugin that can be installed/updated via the Libraries folder. Once McNeel pushes an update to Rhino 7 with Kangaroo 2.5.3 bundled, this problem will solve itself.
Here’s another thread on this topic that could be useful:
In reference to the below from Will Pearson, does Shapediver have any updates regarding this? Is this a case of Shapediver needing to update their Rhino versions on their server to the latest versions to Rhino 7.3/7.4?
We are aiming to host a virtual event during the month of June incorporating Shapediver geometry that requires the multipipe function of Kangaroo 2.5.3.
If you could provide a time frame of when we could expect this functionality with Shapediver it will help me manage expectations for the event/plan alternative options if it won’t be feasible before then.
