Hi there,  
I was trying to use a definition with some Speckle nodes via Hops, and it doesn’t work.  
I was assuming that because the Rhino Instance launched by Hops is local, it was able to pick up all the plugins installed (with some other plugins, hops works).  
Is there a way to direct RhinoCompute to the folders with the plugins installed?  
Cheers.

I would guess that all of the plugins are being loaded, but some are not working when running in Rhino.Compute. Some plugins need to be modified.
