Installing Monolith for GH

Hi Guys,

Great work! I cant wait to get started.

I am however having a few problems with making Monolith work with GH, I found the GHA file in the Monolith folder, and I copied it to my library folder.

Does it need to be accompanied by a couple of DLL's? If so which.

Looking forward to hear back from you.

Again great work!

- Jens

Hi Jens,

No, you don't need to copy/paste anything after the installation is completed. In fact, you should undo that or simply uninstall/reinstall the application. The reason is that the installer creates a .ghlink file which tells grasshopper to look inside a different folder for all of the assembly and dependency files. The .gha file needs to remain in the C:\Program Files\Monolith folder for the plugin to work properly. I hope this helps.

Hi Andy,

Thank you for the quick reply.

I will try and do that, is there a way to check that the link has been made?

Because after I installed monolith it didn't pop up in GH. Could it have something to do with the way it was installed? Because I didn't install it my self, I had the IT department at the office do it - you see I was trying to get it on my office machine.

Are you running a 64-bit OS (and Rhino)? You have to be using a 64-bit version of Rhino in order to run Monolith... so perhaps that could be what is causing it to fail.

Hi Andy,

Sorry about the late reply, I wanted to try and install monolith on my home machine, and it works fine. I think the problems I experienced have something to do with the way our IT guys installed monolith at work.

Thank you for your help.
