RMA namespace in GH build 0.8? WHAT? WHERE? HOW?

Hello,

I'm just wondering what happened to the rma. namespace in the latest versions of grasshopper. All the primers on VB.net for grasshopper (that is mostly stuff relating to geometry classes) are for the rma namespace (on3dpoint object etc).

The VB.net component imports section doesn't list rma namespace anymore. After some tinkering I realized that for example on3dpoint is now 3dpoint and so on. This is all fine and dandy but there is no documentation available and the Rhino SDK has references only to RMA and OpenNurbs classes so.. yeah

Can't anybody help me? I'm kinda new to GH and I've only recently got into VB.net and OOP but I have a fairly solid background in math and I seem to be picking up on it fast. I am asking because I want to use the VB.Net comp for various stuff like recursion in GH for example.

Thank you.

Hi Liviu,

RMA.Rhino.X and RMA.OpenNURBS.X are no more. Grasshopper has jumped on the RhinoCommon bandwagon, which is the new SDK for Rhino5 and beyond.

RhinoCommon is lovingly hand-crafted by the honest, simple, hard-working, indigenous people of McNeel (as opposed to the old 'RMA' SDK which was basically put together by a python script that munged C++ headers and spat out a mixed-mode dll).

You can find information about RhinoCommon on our Wiki.

@David,

Thank you, that's just what I've been looking for. Is there any way to download this?

Download what?

RhinoCommon is installed along with Rhino5 and also along with Grasshopper. The only way to use RhinoCommon in a Rhino4 environment is from within Grasshopper.

Since we switched, I provided two new Script components (VB and C#) that use the new SDK, while there are still legacy Script components that use the old SDK (look for the degraded icons), so if you open a file that still has old-skool scripts, they should load and run fine.

I know, I was asking about the doc / link you sent me. Problem solved. Thanks!
