I had previously used this plug-in in Revit 2021 with Rhino 7 on my old laptop without a problem. My laptop was upgraded and now I am working in Revit 2025. I have tried multiple times to install the plug-in and despite the installer downloading and claiming it has installed, not a single thing shows up in Revit. No window to ask to load the plugin, no toolbar, nothing. I can only assume this is no longer compatible with Rhino 7 (even though the website claims it is). I’m at my wits end and have lost an entire day trying to troubleshoot.
You have to use Rhino 8 with Revit 2025
Hi Randy, Like Muhammad mentions Rhino 8 is req’d.
The environments have been changing quickly over the last few years, do note that the latest updated of 25 & 26 run in .netcore 10, which complicates things for plugin /addin devs even more.
Revit x .NET x Rhino.Inside.Revit compatibility

| 2026 | .NET 8 → .NET 10 * | net8.0-windows → net10.0-windows * | R8, R9 | 8 (8.32+ on .NET 10), 9 after update |
| 2027 | .NET 10 | net10.0-windows | R8, R9 | 8 (8.32+), 9 |
- Autodesk moves Revit 2025 and 2026 to .NET 10 with their September 2026 updates.
Until a machine takes that update they run .NET 8.
- The host runtime also gates Rhino plug-ins loaded inside Revit: a .NET 10 Revit needs Rhino 8.32 or later.
Thanks japhy for sharing. I will Include this in RIR Documentation 2.0.
