Genoform Version 2

Hey guys, just letting you know we've created version 2 of Genoform, now with its own grasshopper components.

We've created two new sliders that work with Genoform.

Jump over to www.genoform.com to download the software and the component file.

so am i, why can you just release a .gha component?

Thankyou Ryles for the Installation.txt

We are currently trying to solve this problem. The reason why there is an .exe is because Genoform is a standalone application that then communicates with grasshopper. The components in grasshopper talk with Genoform.

We do this because Genoform also works with Solidworks and Inventor.

I'll let you know when we fix this.

Ok guys, the install file should be working fine now! =D

Turns out the install package was missing a few files.

Try downloading again, let me know if there are any more issues.

Thank you, Andrew.
Everyting went flawlessly this time.

By the way, it's very interesting to have the genoform sliders...

Haha, yes, they are strange at first.

Soon we will be producing a conversion function that can allow you to swap sliders from your already existing grasshopper files to GF Sliders.

Brilliant, I was just searching for that file for you then.

still having issues. :-(

I'm getting a window that says that no CAD program is found running even though I have Rhino V4 and V5 running. Also, the components for Grasshopper are no where to be found.

I don't have Excel installed, could that be the problem? I have Open Office Calc though.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help,

ryan

Run Grasshopper and save the file, then run Genoform.

The install wont put the components into the component folder for grasshopper. You need to do that manually like the other component plugins.
