Hi There,
Rhino seems to crash every time I try to open or do anything. The problem had been persisting for a few days and the problem has to do with the datasmith plug in. I’ve already deleted all datasmith files from my mac and uninstalled the plug in. The problem keeps persisting. The report that was given from my mac about the crash is below. I have no idea what to do since I’ve already deleted everything associated with datasmith.
