Did you install Rhino in a custom (non-standard) location?
Does the installer give you an option to search for the location?

I installed Rhino in a Standard location ( C:\Program Files\Rhinoceros 5 (64-bit)).
I didn't know why not to installed "GRASSHOPPER-ARCHICAD CONNECTION" . (Location: C:\Program Files\GRAPHISOFT - Default installed).
Could you show me how to install pls?

I don't actually have Rhino or Grasshopper to try anything.

Does the Grasshopper/Archicad connection installer ask if you want to choose the location that Rino is installed at?
If so direct it to that folder.

If not then I assume the connector requires Rhino to be installed in a specific location.
You will need to ensure that Rhino is installed there.

The same happens with Rhino 6 ( understandably so ). I had to recently format my machine and reinstall, and doing so, since VRay and Karamba can now be used in Rhino 6 / Grasshopper, I found very little reason to keep Rhino 5 around, but while trying to install the connector, I had the same issue. Will a new version of the connector be released supporting Rhino 6?

Hello leocapricorn128 ,

I haven't seen this problem before. Have you managed to solve this?

I would first try to reinstall both ARCHICAD and Rhino (a clean slate is always good). If that doesn't help, and you still have problems, please write me a PM, and we will see if we can find out what the problem might be!

PS. Rhino 6 will be supported once we are done with testing it against the Add-on (it will probably only be supported by ARCHICAD 22 though).

Thanks all, I got it.
I dowloaded it and installed again from Graphisoft. Someone fixed it.

Hello,

The first thing you have to do, is remove the Add-on from both ARCHICAD and Grasshopper. You can find the Add-ons at these default locations:
‎⁨Mac HD⁩/Applications/⁨GRAPHISOFT/⁨ARCHICAD 21/⁨Add-Ons/⁨Local⁩
Mac HD/⁨Users/⁨dkovacs/⁨Library/⁨Application Support/⁨McNeel/⁨Rhinoceros/⁨MacPlugIns/⁨Grasshopper/⁨Libraries/⁨ArchiCAD 21⁩

After this, follow the instructions on this website to remove traces of the Add-on, and you will be good to go!

Currently it is a little tricky with AC21, but from 22 the Add-on installer will have an uninstall function as well.
