    Hi MC,
    Great work on this. However, the plugin will not load into GH version 06.019 (and crashes the assemblies in the process, so only half the functions load). I see you wrote the plugin for v06.043. I imagine the problem is with the version update. Just thought I’d send along the issue!
    Cheers,

    Hi sdg,

    thanks for your feedback.
    We are familiar with that issue. Rabbit works only with version 0.6.0043 of GH at the moment.

    Cheers

    Hi!

    Great idea to create and produce the plugin. Will you update the ‘Rabbit’ to work with other GH versions? And when? :)

    Hi,

    At the moment Rabbit works with the latest build of GH. We do not plan to make it work with an Older release except for a good reason to do that…

    If there is an interest from the community we plan to extend it in the future and integrate it with the future releases of GH.

    Hope this answers the question :)

    Hi,

    First time I installed the Rabbit, within the newest build of GH, most icons where gone inside GH! However, reinstalling GH (same build though) fixed the problem.

    Looking forward to using it! :)

    Looks like Rabbit is outdated, it will not load in GH 0.8.0004

    Is it still under development ?

    @sanderboer

    Hi there,

    Rabbit is still under development but it is not our top priority at the moment. Rabbit 0.2 is compatible with the older GH 0.6.XX series.

    hola,
    sounds like a nice plug in, though it does not seem to run with GH 8.0004
    any way through it or an update coming soon?

    gracias!

  13. conorblack22 4:37 pm on January 28th, 2011

    Hello,

    Its impossible to download the earlier versions of grasshopper, so is there a timescale for when rabbit will be updated for GH 8.0004?

    Thank you!

  14. morphocode 6:21 pm on February 2nd, 2011

    Hi there,

    @howking Rabbit 0.2 is an obsolete version…it do not work with GH 0.8.XX

    @hormigatomica, @conorblack22
    Thanks for your interest….we have no exact timescale for the new version…it depends on the community support.

    Best!

    Any ideas as to why not?

    Sorry just read the statement above.

    Hi, I downloded rabbit when it was already too late and i had GH.0.7 running. Does anyone know if u can get both the newst 0.8.xx version and the 0.6.xx running simultaniously?

    thanks

  21. lichtwerk360 9:56 am on March 11th, 2011

    Hi,

    I just got the old grasshopper from the grashoopper page itself.

    http://www.grasshopper3d.com/forum/topics/grasshopper-060059-available

    By the way, is there any place I can see what the exact meaning of the symbols such as ” ^^!!!!!&+-” and so on is when I create the rules of an L-System?

  22. lichtwerk360 9:57 am on March 11th, 2011

    Regarding running more versions of GH simultaneously you should best save the whole folder of th ecurrent GH version somwhere on your computer, then you install th eold version and when you want to switch back you just copy back in the new version from th ebackup folder.

    People are very rude…this project is free but the people that develope it use their own free time to make possible this great tool. If you want a cellular automata quickly running in your GH canvas, code it…

    Don’t push morpho team in this way…think that they are giving you their work for free…

    Hello everybody,

    First of all, congratulations to Morpho team (again)!

    I am one of the funs of Rabbit, but I’ve lost a lot of data and software when my pc crashed.
    So I would like to know if someone can send me the grasshopper 0.6.0043?

    Thanx in advance

  42. amritbanerjee 3:47 pm on October 21st, 2011

    Hi Everyone,
    Thank you for such a useful tool that can be incorporated in grasshopper and give us such awesome ideas and designs.

    But recently i lost my older versions of GH due to a virus and had to format. So could you guys also upload the latest version of GH which rabbit supports. It would be great for everyone, or otherwise you could give a link where we could download older versions of GH.
    Once again congratulations for your work. Looking forward for a positive reply and a brand new Rabbit as well! ;) . Thnx guys!

  43. morphocode 7:03 pm on October 22nd, 2011

    It depends on how fast we finish some of the features that are still not implemented.

    please help
