Hi!

Any news on edge softening on Rhino v5 64 bit? Howcome it doesn't work?

Btw, does Next Limit plan any built in edge softening functionality on the meshes?

best regards

On the first, it is because this is a Rhino 4 plugin, and there was never any 64-bit V4 SDK to compile with. On the second, I know it's been requested, but I really don't know any more than that.

[bjorn.syse]

aha, so the plugin I run in v5 is actually 32 bit?

Are there any more features that are missing or did it only affect the RDK stuff?

It's more complicated than that. There are several pieces to the plugin; some are 64-bit specific, but compile with no reference to Rhino code. Others are MS .NET-based, and run on 32- or 64-bit, whatever is necessary where you run them. One specific library does depend on Rhino, and this is 32-bit only, being a V4 piece -- that's the library which interfaces with RDK code.

As such, it is only RDK stuff which is affected; that won't be supported on 64-bit until the plugin becomes V5-specific.

rhino 5 64/32 bit is bulit-in soft-edge function, on need plug-in?

[JDHill]

Both; it is 'built-in' the same way that file exporters are 'built-in': they are plugins included in the Rhino installation.

[bjorn.syse]

I see then. And the maxwell plugin will be v5 specific when v5 releases, is that right?

[JDHill]

That would be the plan, but you know I won't make any concrete statement.

[bjorn.syse]

I'm fine with that!

Cheers,
