GIS .shp-File import Component

Hello everyone who want to use the new .shp-file import Component.

Since Grasshopper version 0.9.51.0 there is a new Component available for importing GIS .shp-files into Grasshopper. I came up with a problem by using this Component for the first time. If you want to use this component you need to install the Microsoft Office - Access Database Engine 2010 64Bit package on you computer. But also there I've got a problem, because the installer always abort. Maybe some of you have to deal or will have to deal with the same issue.

(My configuration: Windows 7 64Bit, Rhinoceros 3D 64Bit, Grasshopper 0.9.53.0, Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 32Bit)

Solution:

You need to uninstall Microsoft Office 2007 32Bit and all other Microsoft Office 32Bit packages, then install the Microsoft Office - Access Database Engine 2010 64Bit package and after this you can reinstall Microsoft Office 2007 32Bit and all the other 32Bit packages you've uninstalled, otherwise you are not able to install the Microsoft Office - Access Database Engine 2010 64Bit package.

Maybe you don't have to deal with this issue when you have a 64Bit version of Microsoft Office installed on you computer.

The actual discussion you can find here.

Best,

Martin.

To install the 64-bit package on a machine with 32-bit Office installed you can launch it from the command line with a "/passive" argument:

$> AccessDatabaseEngine_X64.exe /passive

Uninstalling the 2007 package and installing the 2010 Engine worked for me. Thanks.

The component reads SHPs with regions as curves
