SetDotNetRuntime Error

Grasshopper ShapeDiver
,
1

Hello everyone,

I have recently updated to Rhino 8 and installed the new ShapeDiver plugin. During installation, I have received the following error,

"Loading the SdRhinoStargateClient plugin is not supported yet if Rhino 8 is using .NET 7. To fix this, please use the “SetDotNetRuntime” command of Rhino 8 and switch to .NET Framework.

I did exactly that, and switched from Default (which is I assume the NETCore) to NETFramework, and the ShapeDiver plug-in started working. However, now I have other plug-ins that are not running properly. (DraftHorse for example).

Will there be a solution to this compatibility issues or we have to switch the NET Runtime settings everytime and restart Rhino?

This is currently not possible in Rhino 8 but we will update the plugin as soon as it is. I will update this topic once the situation is resolved.

Thanks Mathieu.
Do you know when this update will be released?

@Hugo_Chinaglia we are almost there. There is a final problem blocking us from releasing this, should be fixed in Rhino 8 SR 7. Related links:

Hi Folks,

I’m having some trouble with the SdRhinoStargateClient today - I’ve tried changing to .NET Framework, but it was still throwing up errors. I’ve tried reinstalling ShapeDiver and updating graphics drivers/OS. However it seems to continue having a problem - attaching SysInfo below

There isn’t one - it just opens https://www.rhino3d.com/docs/guides/netcore/

When opening Grasshopper, I get these though:

Ok many thanks for checking. Please have a look at this and give it a try: Issues downloading from package manager - #2 by mathieu1

Thank you very much - uninstalling and deleting the ShapeDiver folder from \Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\packages\8.0 seems to have helped when reinstalling
