With support for 3D digitizers and a large set of 3D entities there are no limits on complexity or size so engineers can focus completely on their designs without worrying about workarounds. Whether it will only be limited as the trial of the final release or won’t start at all is a question…ģ., Install Rhino WIP, provide the license details.ĥ., Launch Archicad as you would do normally and type Grasshopper into the Rhino command line.Ħ., Launch the connection from File/Interoperability/Grasshopper Connection in Archicad.McNeel's Rhino 7 for Windows and Mac is the ultimate industrial design modeling solution, combining a powerful NURBS based engine with the ability to create, edit, analyze and translate complex shapes. Site says that WIP needs a commercial license, but it runs with the trial as well – most likely will not work after 90 days. (Rhino will not start up at all without a license key.) Though the full and the evaluation versions are separated on the Rhino website, the downloads get you the same files, the only difference is that for the evaluation version you will receive a license key for 90 days by e-mail. Rhino is already available for MAC, but Grasshopper is not, however an earlier, so-called ‘Work-In-Progress’ version of Rhino has it embedded. Well, the bad news is that officially Grasshopper is still not available for MAC yet, but there is a way to test all these three applications – even if it is not a straightforward way. The following is not focusing on the performance and the features, the pure intention is to give some guidance to those who also prefer MAC in general and had no access to Rhino and Grasshopper because of that. The MAC version of the Grasshopper-Archicad Live Connection has been released recently, so it was high time doing a test run on this platform as well.
