RHINO 8 is out - Updated GC is coming (when)?

[Romans]

Rhino 8 was just released with significant advancements. 

This is how real and serious 3D software evolves….

@GS: When can we expect an updated Grasshopper-Connection to work with V8?
Thanks.

Hello, 

Do you have any news about the plugin or this "downgrade" version for rhino? I work also on Mac, and the connection between AC27 / RH8+GH  is not working.

Thanks

I have good news: the updated Grasshopper Add-on is planned to be already available with the Archicad 28 Beta version.

[Aaron Bourgoin]

Great News Illes. Will it be compiled for use in 27 as well?

[Illes Papp]

The add-on is planned to be available for Archicad 28 in sync with the official release. It is not planned to be released for previous versions of Archicad.

WHAT?

This is maximum user/client unfriendly!

Very bad news!

Sorry.

[Aaron Bourgoin]

sad to hear this although it's the kind of response I'm getting accustomed to hearing from the GS product team.

[Diego Alves]

It worked for me @Ktoffer.
Thank you very much !

Hi,

Do we need to install Grasshopper-Archicad Live Connection prior to copy these files into the folders?

Thanks.

I use Speckle to transfer models between Rhino 8 and AC27, I can't recommend it enough:

https://speckle.systems/

I lose AC-parametrics, sure, but I found this to be the best compromise (Rhino 7 vs. Rhino 8 is worlds apart on Apple Silicon Macs in terms of display performance, and the new features worth it on Windows as well to choose Rhino 8 on running projects).

This kind of incompatibility introduces unnecessary fragmentation in our workflows, as you will not update to the latest and greatest AC release with long-running projects. As a result you either miss on the Rhino 8 improvements or you need to jump into the unknown again with months of half-baked features or serious regressions (hello, attribute management or MEP, to name two of my favourite topics from migrating to AC26 then to AC27).

Note: Rhino Inside Revit is compatible with Rhino 7&8, with Revit 2018-2024 (and 2025 being WIP).
