Genoform can't detect Grasshopper

OK, we found out why. When you update Grasshopper there are two ways. One is to re-install and the other is to upgrade. If your re-install it wipes out the genoform components from grasshopper. You need to put them back into the GenoformCompoent.gha into the Grasshopper\Components folder.

 

let me know if this resolves the issue.

I installed genoform after i updated, so don't think that is the problem...

Just tried to reinstall genoform (both plugin and the program) - not any result...

 

Too bad - i could really use it to test some things right now...

Hi, Pls drag and drop this into grasshopper. You should see it in the "Extra" tab.

I already had the grasshopper plugin installed - so no changes..

 

Am i the only one running Win 7 (Home Premium) 64 bit with Rhinoceros 4 + grasshopper 0.8.0052?

 

Could other plugins cause problems for the genoform components?

Not that I am aware of . I am running it on Win7 Professional. Rh 4 service release 9 ,Grasshopper 9.0052. Perhaps the problem is with other plugins. Pls try uninstalling them and run genoform and see what happens. Are you getting any error messages ?

Hi there 

When I open up Genoform, it comes up with the message, "No CAD has been detected. Please start CAD first and then start Genoform."

When I open up Rhino, then Grasshopper and create and save the grasshopper file, it still comes up with the same message when I open Genoform.

Does anyone know why this message "No CAD has been detected. Please start CAD first and then start Genoform" comes up?

Can anyone provide me valuable advice on how I can overcome this problem?

Cheers

The software I'm using is Rhino 4 and Grasshopper 8 (the latest version I would assume)
