I have tried to install the plug-in for Rhino 8. However, an error occurred and the plug-in is not loaded.

Answer:

Check your DotNetRuntime settings in Rhino 8.

The Dlubal plugin for Rhino 8 is compatible with the .Net version ‘’'NET Core'‘’.
If the .NET version ‘’'NET Framework'‘’ is used in Rhino 8, it is necessary to install the latest plugin version 7.XXX.XX.X.

Check whether older Grasshopper plug-ins are used – these may not be compatible with activated .NET Core.

Disable automatic updates in the package manager so that the installed version is not overwritten when Rhino restarts.
