Speckle in Grasshopper/Rhino 8

@MichaelRensing there is a nuanced alternative answer to this.

Our current plugin, which is compatible with Rhino 7, JUST became loadable in Rhino 8.3. That specific minor release removed a dependency blocker.

HOWEVER. It will not install automatically.

For Rhino

  1. You need to set Rhino 8’s runtime to framework
    image

  2. Then you need to manually load the Speckle plugin in the Plugins Pane

For Grasshopper

  1. The above steps should load SpeckleGrasshopper

McNeel has advised that this is not the preferred solution, and I have experienced Rhino not working tremendously well (performance). I suspect that it will block other plugins expecting to run in the new native NETCore mode.

If, however, you are desperate - this is the current solution. We are just a short while away from rolling out the “official” Rhino 8 compatible release for Speckle. Perhaps it can wait…? :wink:
