no V5 plugins would work? I’m more interest in the friends and family plugins that I collected around the newsgroup or that you guys cooked for me, not commercial stuff.
Scripts… well it’s time to actually clean up house anyway. my scripts folder has 140 items, many of them obsolete or that I have no idea what the do anymore
It would need to be compiled against the V6 sdk, but that is in flux, so the likelihood of the plug-in working on any particular build is very small. Currently there is no tool to compile Python or rvb scripts into plug-ins for v6 anyway; only v5, that I know of.
one way to make migration of RhinoScripts (rvb) very quick without breaking existing links with V5 is to keep them in one or more folders and just reference these folder(s) under:
Then you can use identical toolbar buttons in V5 and V6 to load the same script without any path eg:
! _-LoadScript MyScriptName.rvb
The same can be done using python scripts, just define the searchpaths to modules and scripts in the python editor, eg. open it using the EditPythonScript command. From the menu choose:
Tools / Options / Files / Module Search Paths
If a python script resides in a folder listed there, it can be loaded (and run) with a toolbar button without path:
I’m getting back in the game after not using Rhino in a few years and I’m so glad I started down this path. with about 450 scripts I’ve collected through the years it’s made transitioning from machines so easy.
if you are interested I can send some screenshots and my version of the demand load script to see how I organized it.
