Rhino 7 (Mac) Continually Crashing in Perspective View

Hi all,
I am experiencing an issue where as soon as I enter perspective view and pan, Rhino immediately quits and when it reopens I see a message saying that Rhino has had an issue and had to force quit.

I’m not sure if there is any correlation but the problem began yesterday, after I accidentally opened the grasshopper plugin, which never ever works on my computer, and notoriously on most Macs. I am left faced with grasshopper loading and never reaching past 99%, only option to progress is to force quit Rhino. I am fairly suspicious that grasshopper is the cause of the issue.

I have restarted my computer, uninstalled and reinstalled the Rhino software, tried various documents, updated my Mac Software to macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 (23E224) and deleted all grasshopper files on my computer, yet the problem continues to persist. I have also tried to go into Rhino’s Package Manager, in order to remove the grasshopper plugin, but the package manager fails to load too.

My computer is 2022 M2 MacBook Pro, Running macOS Sonoma 14.4.1.

Please reach out if you have any sugguestions!

This sounds very wrong… can you please run SystemInfo in Rhino and copy/paste the results here?

Thanks for getting back to me!

Lets reset the plist…

Grasshopper plugins can be loaded from a number of places.

If you start grasshopper from the Rhino command line with GrasshopperLoadOneByOne do you see any 3rd party ones you tried to remove?

It still won’t load from there… Rhino still crashing as soon as I try to zoom, pan or rotate camera view in perspective mode!!

What plugin? I’m guessing there are residual files to clean out.
