Multible users of GH-script - femdesign.core.dll [SOLVED]

[Thomasaar]

Hi

When using the API it uses the library “femdesign.core.dll”, which is placed locally on the computer. However, this means that when multiple people are to access a script, they manually have to change the file path of this library.

Is there a way to feed a file-path into the API - to avoid this:

Best Regards

Hi @Thomasaar!

You have several solutions:

1. If you insist on using a DLL reference, the smart way is to use the built-in Windows environment variable and specify the path to the .dll file like this:
   %APPDATA%\McNeel\Rhinoceros\packages\8.0\FEM-Design\24.1.1\FemDesign.Core.dll

2. Another way to avoid this issue is to just copy the FemDesign.Core.dll file and place it in a directory with the same name as the other users (because that’s what Grasshopper complains about, the “Markus” folder is not found).

3. Otherwise you can use NuGet from inside of the script component and install the package (FemDesign.Core).

4. You can also add package references and import them into your code.
