This one pops up every time I open the WIP.
The Twinmotion direct link is for both V6 and V7. I have already downloaded the newest one. In V6 it works as it should (no warning message - and the added Twinmotion drop down in Rhino). Twinmotion is loaded and enabled in V7 also.
Philip
I think you have to download the newest version from their site:
Hope this helps
Yes, thatās what I have done (that dialog is lying) - I have the newest version. It works with V6, but not with V7. Thatās why I thought it would be a Rhino V7-problem.
Philip
I do not have any idea, no. In general v6 plug-ins work in V7 but I donāt know if that is āguaranteedā.

Ok, thanks! Iāll ask the Twinmotion team.
Philip
Has anyone found the solution to this problem, since I switched to Rhino v7 I have this issue.
Now I canāt use Twinmotion direct link. Itās so frustratingā¦
I made a comment on the Twinmotion forum, but didnāt get any clear answer - and no answer at all from the developers. Then I tried to make an official bug report directly to the developers, but their bug report software (?) crashedā¦ Havenāt tried again after that (havenāt needed Twinmotion for a while). Still have the same problem though, so Iāll try again, when I have more time.
Perhaps you also could file a bug report to the Twinmotion developers?
Philip
Hi guys -
Iām having problems understanding what the issue here actually is.
Does TwinMotion run at all in Rhino 7? Or is the issue only that you are asked to download the latest version? Details, please.

What happens when you click āNoā? What happens when you click āYesā?
This mirrors my experience with Twinmotion support. The forums are difficult to use to the point of uselessness and answers are rare and rarely helpful. TM feels like software with amazing potential, but itās definitely got bugs and doesnāt have good support.
Itās weird, because most Unreal Engine software has good support and active user forums.
Iāve been leaning on Enscape, simply because it works reliablyā¦ but I want all the hot features of TMā¦ but it crashes almost every time I use it. Iām keeping an eye on TM but not gonna waste any more time until they get their sh*t together support-wise.
Yes, itās a bit sadā¦
Philip
First a clarificationā¦ The dialog pops up when I open a file from the Rhino splash screen (any file - even ānewā) - not when I start Rhino.
When I press āNoā the dialog goes away and the file opens. If I click āYesā the file opens and Safari opens this site.
Philip
OK, getting really specific with words then:
It sounds like the TwinMotion plug-in works in both Rhino 6 and Rhino 7, but in Rhino 7 it pops up an update warning. If you click No, everything works as expected. If you click Yes, then you are taken to the update page, where no update is availble.
So the bug is that the Twinmotion plug-in says thereās an update available when there isnāt.
Otherwise, everything works as expected. Is that corect?
Sorry, but no (see below).
Thatās one of the bugs, yes.
Unfortunately notā¦ In V6 I have the dropdown menu:
In V7 I donāt:
ā¦ and still Twinmotion seems to be loaded and enabled in V7:
I donāt understandā¦
Philip
Now I noticed that the pop-up warning is perhaps not actually lying - sort ofā¦ The V6 version of the plug-in is somehow newer than the one in V7 (2020.2 versus 2020.1). That is really strange, because itās the same downloaded fileā¦
Philip
Thanks for all the details. Iāve pointed some of our internal contacts at Unreal toward this thread.
Thanks Brian!

From Twinmotion:
Our QA has tested this on Mac, and says that a workaround is to reinstall the plugin. Apparently the plugin was automatically installed when he installed Rhino 7?
Rhino did auto-load the Twinmotion plug-in from V6.
