Question about rhino 5 plugin

Rhino Developer
1

Hi all,

I’ve installed my local compiled rhino 5 plugin on Rhinoceros 5, and nothing happens.

I’ve downloaded sample codes of Rhinoceros 5 plugin from https://github.com/mcneel/rhino-developer-samples/tree/5.
I’ve chosen several of the sample project to build. For example, I copied the built result “SpaceGizmo.rhp” into folder “C:\Program Files\Rhinoceros 5 (64-bit)\Plug-ins”.
Then I start Rhinoceros 5, and install the “SpaceGizmo.rhp”, nothing happens, there is no “SpaceGizmo.rhp” in the plugin list.

My local envorionment:
1 Windows 7
2 Rhinoceros 5 (64-bit) without authorization
3 installed Rhino 5.0 x64 SDK

By the way, where can I download Rhinoceros 6 and Rhinoceros 6 C++ SDK?

Thanks

Hi @leo1,

This is a bad idea. Plug-in files do not need to be copied to Rhino’s own plug-in folder. Just leave your plug-in files where they are…

To install a plug-in, use the PlugInManager command.

Let me know if this helps.

Hi Dale,

Thank you very much for your help.

The sample plugin doesn’t work is built by VS2015, and it works when I built it by VS2010.

Your info is very useful for me.

Thanks again.
