Assistance with CNC Milling Extensions for Robots Plug-in / installing issues

[fliflaflotte]

Hello,

I hope you are doing well.

First of all, I would like to sincerely thank you for your work on the Robots plug-in. I use it frequently and truly appreciate its functionality.

I am now very interested in starting with CNC milling using the Robots plug-in and have attempted to install the necessary extensions. Unfortunately, I encountered some issues during installation—my Grasshopper is returning errors that look like this:

GH_Load_Ex.txt

Additionally, I was wondering whether I need to install all the dependencies listed at the end, namely:

Robots (https://github.com/visose/Robots)
Clipper (http://www.angusj.com/delphi/clipper.php)
Kendzi straight skeleton (https://github.com/kendzi/kendzi-math)
Geometry3Sharp (https://github.com/gradientspace/geometry3Sharp)
Stefan Gustavson's simplex noise (http://staffwww.itn.liu.se/~stegu/simplexnoise/simplexnoise.pdf)
gsGCode (https://github.com/gradientspace/gsGCode)

Other than Robots, I do not have these libraries installed. I attempted to download them, but many do not include installation instructions, and one link (Clipper) appears to be unavailable.

Could you kindly advise on the best approach to resolving these issues? I would greatly appreciate any guidance.

Additionally, is there a manual available on how to use the extensions? If you have any example files, they would be extremely helpful.

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance!

Best regards, fliflaflotte

Hi @fliflaflotte, you don't need to install those dependencies manually. They are already included when you install this plugin from Rhino's package manager. There was an issue before with Robots and Rhino 8 but the latest version of this plugin should have fixed that. If not, could you downgrade Robots to version 1.8.0 and try again? You can do this in Rhino's package manager.
