Unable to Initialize Grasshopper–Tekla Live Link Error message

Hello,

I am trying to use the Grasshopper–Tekla live link, and I keep getting the following error message.

I have already tried the following steps:

Ran SetDotNetRuntime in Rhino and selected NETFramework.
Restarted Rhino after making the change.

Even though this error message keeps appearing, my Tekla live link is actually connected to Tekla Structures and working fine.

Why does this error still appear even though the link works?

Hi Sajesh,

This might come from something like Hops that’s spinning up new Rhino processes in the background. I’m not sure if there’s a way to force Hops to use .NET Framework, if that’s the culprit (meaning you probably can’t use Tekla components in a Hops sub-definition).

Cheers,

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

Thank you so much for your quick and helpful response! You were absolutely right — the issue was caused by the Hops component. After removing Hops from Rhino, the Grasshopper–Tekla live link started working without any errors.

I really appreciate your guidance on this.

Cheers,
Sajesh
