Some definitions make use of existing plug-ins, but these may not be available on your pc. In this case the window "Unrecognized Objects" pops out. Solution:

1. click on download and install (does not work all the time)

2. if the above would not work, go to www.food4rhino.com

3. search in Food for Rhino for each plug in marked in the columns "plug-in" of the "Unrecognized Objects" mask. Watch-out the version as well.

4. download the package on your PC and install them as described in the troubleshooting above (green image)

Solution: Follow the video to install LBT in your PC. Version 1.1.0 and later are way easier to install. Please check the following thread for further help, if something were not working as expected.

The problem may have multiple causes related to how the plug-in is coded in Python. Try the following in this order. Solution:

1. Manually add LBT to the python path of your PC (how to? check the forum)

2. Manually add "Rhino.exe" to the exclusion path of your antivirus. Particularly, Sentinel reported to confilcts with LBT (check the forum again)

3. Download a definition such as this one to drag and drop the two nodes "Ladybug_Ladybug " and "Honeybee_Honeybee" (on the top-left in the link) directly in your canvas. Do not remove these nodes from your canvas.

Solution:

You have to place the whole folder with all of the data somewhere in your pc. Keep the folder structure and copy paste the path from the bar. The script works with the rhino file and the excel table (in the input folder!) (1)

Once you open the script you have to modify the file path of your pc to read the excel , then set save data to true and let Colibri fly (2).

Change the domain for example “1 to 50” or "69 to 119" to print a batch of 50 iterations - this thing is computationally demanding (3).

You can fly the code and upload the google drive link into design explorer, but can´t see any images.

Solution: your images haven´t been exported, because in your Rhino file there is no window with the name as specified in the node on your left. Unless the view name does not match the one in the node on the left, Colibri won´t export any 2D snapshot. Also: the viewport must be in Rendered mode.

You can fly the code but the images exported look funky: you see a different elements in red or green, together with what the option should actually render"

Solution: this the bug I mentioned in class (under investigation). The graphic card of a pc is slower to render an option that the GH to compute it. in the same export you have the "new"3D and the "last" 2D. Use this Workaround:

• don´t have any node in preview mode

• control what is being produced: do the analytics on screen refer to what is blue (render) or what is red (preview)? it should be to the blue.

• if it´s blue, intervene the "data.csv" manually, by shifting the whole column of 2D and match the actual option. Practically you move all the data one down.

• with this workaround you have data that is not named properly, because OptionN_2D is an image that refers to Option(N-1), but when you plug into Design explorer everything works just fine.

• we may want to find a more stable solution in the future i.e. naming the 2D in the script or using Python to sort the export data.

• atm I´m not sure whether it's a "systemic" issue or it's just because my PC has poor graphic card. Apparently it´s the first. Thanks for the feedback.

You installed Weavebird, but when you open the file GH shows an error.

Solution:

1. Download https://discourse.mcneel.com/uploads/short-url/8xX7wRn96N2Vt5aMr4hfGXDf6c9.gh

2. Drag the Weavebird's GH script in the window.

3. Package installer should open, and then Weavbird will be installed.

4. If your package installer is not opening/visible then make sure your Rhino is not blocked by your antivirus firewall.
