Using Dlubal API in Rhino and Grasshopper

In the Script Editor menu, select Tools > Advanced > Open Python 3 Shell

Info

Please note that the Dlubal API requires Python 3, which is currently supported by Rhino 8. Furthermore, Rhino 8 currently only supports Python version 3.9, which limits the use of the Dlubal API in Rhino, as Python version 3.9 is only supported by the Dlubal API up to version 2.9.4.

The current preview version of Rhino (Rhino WIP) supports Python 3.13 and can therefore also be used with the current Dlubal API.
