PT-GH for the RhinoWIP for the Mac...

by Rajaa Issa

Aug 3, 2016

Hi all,

You probably already know that you can access PanelingTools in the Mac RhinoWIP (all commands auto-complete when you type "pt"). RhinoWIP for Mac also lets you access Grasshopper when you run "ExplicitHistory" command.

What's exciting is that I just compiled PanelingTools for Grasshopper for Rhino for the Mac WIP! If you like to try it, please do the following:

- Make sure you have the latest release of Rhino for Mac WIP (http://www.rhino3d.com/download/rhino-for-mac/5/wip)

- Open new model in RhinoWIP and run "ExplicitHistory" in the command line. That will open the Grasshopper window.

- In Grasshopper menu, go to File>Special Folders> Component Folder. then drag the attached file (PTComponetLibrary.gha, and PanelingToolsDotNet.dll) to that folder.

- Quit RhinoWIP and reopen. Run ExplicitHistory command. Now you will see PanelingTools tab added to Grasshopper tabs.

Now you can have some fun!

Please share your thoughts, and of course if you see any problems.

    Does this kind of work around work for other gh addons? Did you try that?

      Thanks a lot Rajaa! I am trying to get this setup on Rhino 6 on the mac and I am getting errors where the plugin does not seem to be able to find the PT commands? Would really appreciate your help!

      Thank You

        Hi Rajaa, 

        I have experienced 2 issues regarding this subject:

        1. I encountered a file online which included PT and downloaded it. I was able to use PT on my rhino 6 for Mac (Full Version) successfully. Except, for some components in which i get the message: "solution exception: PT_SDK"

        2. That led me to look for downloads for mac or even download the windows version and try to install it anyway. I found the file you posted above, I installed it and deleted all my other grasshopper components (I went back and deleted it from the component folders in GH and everything went back to normal, including my "solution exception:PT_SDK" message".

        are the files you posted exclusively for WIP? do you know how could I proceed to get the full PT for Mac (Full Version) successfully?

        Thank you
