Hello Rhino.Inside developers, After seeing ArcRhino , it got me thinking if it were possible to integrate rhino inside QGIS as well? I posted on another thread and Scott Davidson prompted me to start a new one here. It seems that since QGIS does not have a .NET SDK which makes running rhino.inside…

Hello @kai.aurelien.zhu ! I’ve used QGIS several years ago and it is a really nice tool. How can users extend its functionality? From a quick google search it seems one could write a plugin in c++ or python? You’ll have to help us here since not many of us are well versed on QGIS. If one can write a…

The import_3dm plug-in I wrote doesn’t use Rhino.Inside but rather just rhino3dm. I tried Rhino.Inside using CPython in Blender, but there is still a bug that crashes Blender when trying to load Rhino.Inside. That said, it works fine in regular Python, so it very well may work with QGIS.

Hey Luis thanks for the speedy response! I’ll definitely check those resources out, maybe it won’t be as technically feasible compared to Rhino.Inside.ArcGIS… will give it a shot anyway. In terms of extending its functionality, the big one in my opinion would be access to the Grasshopper plugin ec…

Luis, Kai I’m very, very interested to see this develop. I would try to help where possible. @kai.aurelien.zhu have you tried the ShrimpGIS … also good for the current situation.

Hi Luis and Kai, I know this is somewhat of an old post but wanted to revive it. We are very interested in connecting Urbano.io with QGIS. We have some use cases in mind but It would be helpful to start a discussion here.

QGIS could probably be now linked to Rhino thru the Hops component for CPython. Would it be possible to run the Hops libraries in QGIS? [image] Create CPython components using Hops in Grasshopper Hops We are announcing a new component we are testing. Call into CPython wi…

I am confused. Your site shows a nice integration with Grasshopper and Rhino. Is there a certain aspect of that you would like it to do more? Is Urbano.io in CPython? C#? The Hops component allows for some really interesting connections that may work for you: [image] Create CPy…

Hi Scott - thanks for your questions. We developed Urbano in C# and it integrates well with Grasshopper and can import urban data from multiple sources such as SHP files or OSM data. I know some users would like to see a more smooth link into GIS tools and I am wondering what the best approach for t…

Yes I did investigate this briefly getting Rhino running in CPython but fell by the wayside over time. I did note that the new hops component would be worth investigating when reviving Rhino.Inside.QGIS Personally, I think a direct connection with Rhino running within QGIS would be the best possibl…

Kai - The Hops connection to CPython library is open source: [image] Create CPython components using Hops in Grasshopper Hops We are announcing a new component we are testing. Call into CPython with a Grasshopper component. Some advantages of this component: Call into …
