Latest Versions

Beta branch: 0.4.8.0 (Mar 4, 2024, SHA256: C4E8C6E39876C1CBAFD2C87C68ADCEBF816888DA6B2DD0B5EE85DA3ABDEA509C) — works with Rhino 8

Main branch: 0.3.8.0 (Feb 17, 2021) — works with Rhino 6

Known Issues

Beta branch:

  • Templates are not fully tested. Some features might not currently be working. Use with caution.

Main branch:

  • Probing on decomposed cases doesn’t work for now (need to reconstruct first).
  • The latest release of Eddy3D (v0.3.8.0) currently only works with Rhino 6. McNeel made changes to the SDK in Rhino 7 which renders the box-shaped simulation domain incompatible with v0.3.8.0. Fixed on beta branch.
