Hey @Community !

We’re excited to announce that Rhino 8 connector is available with the latest 2.19.0-wip release. It took a little longer than expected due to some breaking changes with Rhino 8, but we’re glad it’s finally here! This wip release is for community testing :partying_face:. If you’re not feeling particularly adventurous, just stick to the stable 2.18 version for now to avoid any interruptions to your ongoing projects.

The official release for Rhino 8 connector will be available with the stable 2.19 release.

:pushpin: Rhino 8 connector is currently available only for Windows. We are working on adding support for Mac.

:warning: McNeel released Rhino v8.3 in January 2024 and this is a prerequisite requirement. Thanks to McNeel for working behind the scenes to remove some blockers. :rhinoceros:

How to install it?

To install 2.19.0-wip release for the Rhino Connector:

  1. Inside the “Rhino Connector” page, switch to the “Versions” tab.
  2. Toggle on the “Show Pre-releases” option at the top.
  3. From this list, select the 2.19.0-wip release.
  4. Click on the “Install” button next to it.

Important :warning:

@jsdbroughton previously shared a workaround that would help you run Rhino 7 connector in Rhino 8. The good news is that the latest release of Rhino 8 doesn’t require that workaround anymore. So, please make sure you revert those changes:

  1. Run SetDotNetRuntime command.
  2. Switch it to Default.

Once you do these changes, you’ll be ready to use our connector inside Rhino 8!
