Installation

At the end of installation, the following error occurs.

Solution

1. Open Rhino.

2. Type EditPythonScript to open the Python script editor.

3. Close Rhino.

4. Run the installer again.

Some parts of Rhino's internal folder structure are only created after the Python script editor has been opened at least once.

Usage

I have successfully installed RV2, but when i try to initialise i get the following error.

Unknown Command: -_RV2init

Solution

1. Open Rhino.

2. Type EditPythonScript to open the Python script editor.

3. Restart Rhino.

4. Initialise RV2 again.

Python Plugin commands are not automatically recognised...

After opening a new Rhino file, with every RV2 command, an error pops up. Did I do something wrong?

Solution

Unfortunately, with Python Command Plugins, you have to restart Rhino everytime you open a new file!
