Latest version of WIP has the Constraints missing

[Sergiu]

Hello!

I’ve gone to open Rhino WIP to explore it’s new features, and when i ran the _Constraints command, i got the Unknown command response. It was not avaiable from the Panel menu. It was available only trough Window > Panels > Constraints, but when clicking, the command seems unknown.

Did Constraints get the boot? I’ll be very sad if that happened

Thank you!

Hi Sergiu -

@Sergiu

Did Constraints get the boot?

That feature was put on hold and taken out of the Rhino 8 WIP now that Rhino 8 is getting closer to its release. This project will then get picked up again and further developed during the Rhino 9 WIP cycle -

Rhino WIP Feature: Constraints

Constraints aren’t completely canned. I plan on picking them up again. One of the reasons for pivoting to other work was use cases failing to materialize for this project. It felt a little like a solution hunting for a problem. What would be helpful for kickstarting this when work resumes is real use cases and problem examples that would benefit from constraints.

Yes, they have been pulled from R8. You should find a post about it on Discourse.
