Hi Rajaa, the RHI file seems to only work in 64 bit.

Hi ehsan,

Are you using Rhino 4.0 or Rhino 5.0 Beta?

Hi Rajaa, I download last version of PT but tools in curve doesn't work, could you help me?

Hi Michele,

Please make sure you have the latest:

- Rhino 5.0 Beta

- PanelingTools.rhi installer (double click to install)

- PTComponentLibrary

Once you do, open new session of Rhino and Grasshopper and it should work.  Let me know how it goes.

Hi Se Hoon Jang,
Can you post the error message?

could you help me?

Hi Se Hoon

I think Rajaa meant to go above the "red baloon" icon () and take a screenshot of the error that appears in there. You can use the Print key for that. Then paste the image to Paint and save as Jpg. Thanks,

- Giulio

I don't know why it doesn't work. I have got last version of rhino 5. Someone could help me?

Hi there,

Once you get the latest Rhino 5.0, you need to download 2 files:

- PanelingTools plugin for Rhino 5.0 Installer (http://download.rhino3d.com/Rhino/5.0/PanelingToolsV5/)

- PT-GH (PlanelingTools plugin for Grasshopper), unzip and save to %appdata%\Grasshopper\Libraries file on your computer.

Did you do these steps?

Hi Rajaa;

I am having a problem with the ptPointAtts and ptCrvAtts components. They do not seem to work. I even tried the Wall tutorial, following the exact steps, but the ptPointAtts does not seem to work. Any idea?

Thanks

Hi Zayad,

Sorry to hear that.  Can you open 004_GridAttractors.gh file in the examples file?  Is it working?
If not, can you tell what version of Rhino, PanelingTools and PT-GH are you using? 

Hi Rajaa,

It is not working in the 004_GridAttractors.gh either. See attached image.

I am using Rhino V (5.1.2012.508), GH 0.8.0066, and PT lastest version of May03, 2012. Window 7, 64 bit.

thanks

Hi Zayad,
This is very odd, somehow your computer is pointing to an old PT.

If you go to pluginManger and under PanelingTools in the list of plugins, what is the path you have?
If you go to that path and delete all PanelingTools folders and reinstall PanelingTools.rhi installer, does that help it?

Thanks
-Rajaa 

Hi Rajaa

I did everything you said but it still does not work. I don't know why!

Help me!

Can you please email your system details, versions of Rhino and GH you are using to rajaa@mcneel.com?

Hi Rajaa,

I'm also having problems installing the PT-GH Add-on. I followed all installation steps and troubleshooting tips on this comment wall. After installing everything, when I run Grasshopper, no Paneling Tools tab appears on the interface.

I am running the latest version of Rhino 5 64-bit (5.1.2012.508, 05/08/2012), the latest Grasshopper (build 0.80066) and the latest PT version ( 03 May 2012) on a Windows 7 64-bit system.  

Could you please help?

Hi Rajaa;

In the plugin manager, PT is located inside the plug ins folder for Rhino5. The version of that plug in is created on March 20, 2012.

I deleted that folder, along with the registery folder inside User's folder, then re-installed the PanelingTools.rhi installer. When I started Rhino, there was no paneling tools menu. I brought back the PanelingTools folder inside the Plugins folder, then I went to the Plug in manager to install it. PT menu was back again, but when I run GH, I still have the problem with the attractors. I run the PanelingTools.rhi installer again, but still same problem.

Am I following your steps correctly, or am I creating a mess here?

Zayad,

If you install the PanelingTools.rhi, you should not have to move it to plugin folder.  There is something wrong there and will have to contact you off the list to figure this out.

Also, May 3 is the latest release of PT, you are running an old version.  Let's investigate this further.

Hi Rafael,
Did you download PT-GH add-on from (http://download.rhino3d.com/Rhino/5.0/PT_GH/) and unzip and move to the following folder (%appdata%\Grasshopper\Libraries).  Let me know how that goes.

Hi Rajaa,

Yes, I did.

I did so again, just in case I had made a mistake before. There is still no PT tab in Grasshopper.

I guess the mystery deepens.

One more question for you, do you see PanelingTools drop-down menu in the Rhino interface?

Yes I do.

So when you open (%appdata%\Grasshopper\Libraries) what do you see?  Can you list all files with their extensions?

There is only one file:

PTComponentLibrary.gha 

Rajaa, could you take a look at this please...PT01.gh

I have not idea why it turn red....

Those of you having troubles installing, please do the following:

1. Open Windows Explorer
2. Paste "%appdata%\McNeel\Rhinoceros\5.0\logs" in the address bar
3. Press Enter
4. Send the newest several "PanelingTools*.log" files to brian@mcneel.com - I'll figure out why the installer is failing on your computer.

Hi Andres, I did have a look, is there any particular question you have related to it?

It looks like I have an old PT in my computer... I am looking everywhere to find your files and deleting them to install a new and clean ver...

It looks like it is working now. It comes to my mind that PT should have a About PT in both, Rhino and GH, so that we know which one is running all the time. Like a Ver. number etc...

I don't know if this is specifically your case, but here is what has worked for me when I have updated and had a few problems.
i am running rhino 5, 64 bit, windows 7. 

Scenario: Run the paneling tools updater successfully, but then the newest components don't work.  try running the updater again and it says that the update is already installed.

Resolution: 

Step 1-(If in windows, you will need modify your folder view to include "show hidden files, folders and drives" to see all the folders in this path.)

Navigate to C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\5.0\Plug-ins\PanelingTools {6CAED836-BC06-4EBC-B1FD-E10886A0DC94}\2012.4.30.1332\(32 bit or 64 bit, whichever is appropriate for your machine).

NOTE: The folder name has the date.  The current working version I am using is in the folder listed above)   I have found that the updater sometimes does "repoint"  rhino to the newest version. (that will be step 2).

There should be 3 files in this folder:(the modified date on the files should be 5/4/2012)

PanelingTools.rhp

PanelingToolsDotNet.dll

PT_SDK.dll

Right click on each of the files individually and choose properties.  If there is an "Unblock" button, click it to unblock the file.  Check each of the 3 files. (if the "Unblock" button is not there, then you can go to step 2).

STEP 2:

Open rhino and go to the plugin manager.  scroll down to paneling tools, right click and choose properties.  The file path at the bottom of the properties page should point to your folder path you verified in step 1.  I have found that in some cases, after running the updater, the plugin path is still pointing to the previous version.  If that is the case, close rhino, go back to the folder path in step 1 and delete any older versions, (only keep the folder 2012.4.30.1332).

Re-open rhino and reload the correct version of the plug in.  After successful loading, you should have a Paneling Tools drop down you Rhino menu bar.

The above steps have only verified that the correct version of paneling tools is loaded in rhino.

STEP 3:

Download the latest PTComponentLibrary.gha and place it in your Grasshopper components folder, (delete/remove any previous instances of PTComponentLibrary.gha.)

(From within grasshopper, choose File->Special Folders->Components Folder)

Once you copy it into that folder, right click on the file and choose properties.  Make sure to "Unblock" that file as well.  

close and re-open rhino.  launch grasshopper.  You hopefully have a paneling tools tab in your grasshopper toolbars.

I don't know if this is exactly your case, but for that was the solution path for a few folks in our studio that seemed to work.
