Does this plugin works with Rhino Compute?

[ryok90]

I've trying to import from Grasshopper using a C# script to do it.
It works fine when using Rhino but through Rhino Compute the import comes false.
Has anybody successfully imported through Compute?

I am doing something like this

var Filepath = "/some/file/path.glb";
using( var doc = RhinoDoc.CreateHeadless(null) ){
    Boolean result = doc.Import(Filepath); // `result` comes `false` when using through compute but `true` on Rhino
}

Hi, it should work with compute. I couldn't tell you off the top of my head why it wouldn't. This repository is for glTF IO plugins that ship with Rhino 8. I'm guessing your compute instance is Rhino 7 which doesn't include these plugins.

[ryok90]

Oh my! I didn't realize that. Yes, we are running on Rhino 7.

But how come this plugin works fine with Rhino 7 when running "headfull" instead of on Compute?

Nevertheless, thank you for the answer!

Can you paste the system info for both here?

[ryok90]

It is an r6i.xlarge EC2 instance running the latest Windows Server they have.

I mean copy the output of the SystemInfo command in Rhino. I wanna see what plugins you have installed

[ryok90]

Oh I see.
There you go, but it doesn't show any plugins even though I have them installed.

@jrz371 I’m having the same exact issue when importing / exporting .glb/.gltf as well. This only happens when I’m exporting a headless RhinoDoc on HOPS / compute.rhino. It works fine in UI mode though.

I'm running Rhino 8.5.24072.13001

Hi, I think this is the issue. I plan on looking at it soon.
