ShapeDiverTextFIleInput - "File can not be read" error on Mac

[Vladimír_Příbramský]

I encounter problems running script on Mac that worked flawlessly on Windows. I downloaded the last available ShapeDiver (version 1.7.0 even though the food4rhino page describes it as 1.7.1). I saw similar problems happening to multiple people, however my colleague, also having Mac, does not suffer from this error.

I tried both local files or files publicly available, but I have no success with either of them.

What am I missing? I am quite new to Mac so there may be some obvious “firewall” blocking the reading of the files which I am not aware.

About the local file access problem:
Likely this has to do with the permissions given to Rhino for accessing your Documents folder. Please check out this help page (look for Files and Folders).

About the import from a URL:
Please post the error which the component throws.

Hello, thank you for the suggestion, for the local files it was apparently set for “Documents folder” already. The files were in this folder and still it did not work. I changed the settings to “Full Disc Access” and restarted Rhino, but still no success:

For the import from web URL I get similar message, even though the file should be accessible to anyone with the link:

Thank you for any help,
Vladimir

Hello Alexander, may I ask you for further help (see details below)?

Thank you.

Hi @Vladimír_Příbramský, many thanks for reporting these problems. We are working on porting our latest plugin to Rhino/Grasshopper for Mac, which will fix these problems. However I can’t tell you a precise timeline for this yet.

Hello! Was the issue fixed? I am getting the same error using import geometry component with file path.

1. File could not be read: \Users\ivangrebennikov\Library\Mobile Documents\com~apple~CloudDocs\SP script*.dwg
   Could not find file '/\Users\ivangrebennikov\Library\Mobile Documents\com~apple~CloudDocs\SP script*.dwg’.

Which version of the ShapeDiver plugin are you using?

Hi Mathieu,

I have the same issue. I am trying to upload the .dxf template for technical drawings tutorial, but I keep getting the “file cannot be read” warning. I am also on mac. I am using Rhino 7. I have just updated my ShapeDiver plugin, but I still get the same warning. I have tried with a file on local disk and given to Rhino access to full disk, but no luck. I have also tried with a link from Google Drive and full access but it doesn’t work either. How to proceed?

Thanks.

We can reproduce this problem. A fix will be included in our upcoming plugin release 1.21.

Thanks Alexander. Do you have a rough idea of when this will be released? And how to receive a reminder to update the plugin? I need this for the technical drawings export. Thanks
