ModelDisplayMode error when importing Rhino models into Rhino8

[Phil_Southwell]

I get the error:

1. Solution exception:The type initializer for ‘Grasshopper.Rhinoceros.Display.ModelDisplayMode’ threw an exception.

whenever I try to import files from the file system using Import Model Block Definition. It seems to refer to a DisplayMode issue but I can’t find anyone with a similar problem. I am using Rhino8 for Windows 11 and Grasshopper 1.0.0008. Any help would be appreciated

Hi Phil -

@Phil_Southwell

I get the error: […] whenever I try to import files from the file system using Import Model Block Definition.

That seems to work fine in a quick test here:

Can you post files that I can use to try to reproduce the issue?

If I do a simple test like this it works fine. It must be something else. I just don’t understand why it is a displayMode issue. Thanks for the help I will keep trying.
