Support structures in Rhino

[mongerdesigns]

This one looks like a useful plugin for Rhino for creating support structures for jewelry. Very capable and easy to use. While it might not do everything, it can be a good starting point.

I found it easier to follow what the RPTool guy was doing than the dude in the other video. It might be bcz I didn't understand the language he had set in Rhino. Which plugin do you prefer?

I downloaded the RPTool about a month ago and loved it. Went to use it tonight and all I get unknown command. Was curious if anyone else has had this problem? Thanks

That would seem to indicate that the plug-in is no longer registered or inactive in Rhino. You could try reinstalling it or look in the settings to make sure the plug-in is enabled.

I think I know what happened but I cant figure out how to change the setting to get the RPTool back. Someone was using my PC and accidently updated 8 to windows10 and changed the security setting on Rhino5 when it installed. When I follow the instructions from McNeal on trusted plugins, they are not the same in WIN 10. Does anyone know how to get around this? Would appreciate the help!

I would assume you need to uninstall it and reinstall it. Tried that?

Thanks for the advice. I tried uninstalling 1st thing, but got it sorted out. Had to go into the administer section of windows and make some changes. Thanks Again
