Unable to load LayupRH.rhp plug-in: ID already in use

Im using VisualStudio2026, C# .Net8.0, Rhino8, and randomly got this error when launching a debug build from visual studio.

I have tried:

  • Re installing rhino
  • Checking to see if the plugin is already loaded.
  • Checking to see if there is another dll with the same name as the rhp
  • Installing the plugin using the plugin manager instead of launching from vs

It works when launched from a release build without the debugger attached, but thats it.

Any idea whats wrong?

PS. Plugin manager sucks. Would be great if yall did overhaul.

Update, no idea how, but its working again. Overhaul would still be nice tho. No way to uninstall a plugin in a plugin manager, cmon guys

Hi @Nick3,

Sorry for your frustration. However, I don’t believe you’ve provide us with enough detail to reproduce or to help.

Details can be helpful.

There is no single way to install or uninstall a plug-in.
