Pachyderm does not load

by Kenneth W. Martin

Feb 7, 2024

Hi, I loaded Pachyderm into Rino 7 and tried a simple model in a box and it immediately crashed Rhino. I cycled through that a few times with the same result. I off loaded Rhino 7 and re-loaded Pachyderm to no avail. I then purchased Rhino 8 and cycled through the same problem. Now Pachyderm will not even load into either version of Rhino. It will run when installed and act as if it installed but it is not accessible in Rhino nor Grasshopper.

Very strange.  Any ideas?

    I would love to help you, but I need much more information than this...

    Would you like to share your Rhino model and Grasshopper file with me?

    Have you tried with the Rhino user interface first? (Walking before running?)

      Hello Arthur, I am reviving my effort to get Pachyderm to work correctly on my PC. A new issue somehow developed that I hope you can help me with. When I put the pachyderm command into Rhino I get a window with nothing in it. All the other tabs correctly show the content. I have tried removing Pachyderm and even Rhino and re-installing entirely but the results are the same. Any thoughts as to what is causing this?

        Hi Kenneth,
        Yes. You are trying to use the old version of pachyderm with rhino 8. This does not work. You can use rhino 6 or 7.

        The version for 8 is in a closed beta. Email me if you'd like to be considered.
