Downgrade Components (Rhino 5)
The Grasshopper shipped with Rhinoceros 6 introduces a bunch of new components, some replacing the most basic ones. This feature provides an one-click solution for downgrading them, so that it can be loaded by a Rhino 5 user. This feature will work without Rhino 6.
How to use this feature?
- Navigate to "Pancake" menu, click "Downgrade external script"
- Open an external Grasshopper file
Which component will be downgraded?
- Subtraction (with 2 inputs)
- Multiplication (with 2 inputs)
- Evaluate Surface
- Interpolate Curve (Tangent)
- Relay component
What are the possible results?
- Pancake encounters error when downgrading your file
- Grasshopper script may be corrupt
- Please contact us with the script file.
- Pancake cannot find any downgradable components
- No components need to be downgraded
- Operation successfully completed
- All components are downgraded
- And, there is no Rhino 6 only component
- Some component(s) were downgraded successfully but some component(s) cannot be downgraded
- Some component in the definition may be Rhino 6 only and has no substitution in Rhino 5
- Some Sub/Mul component may have more than 2 inputs
What else should I also notice?
- To-be-downgraded script shouldn't be opened in the document editor.
- The downgraded file is saved as
<OriginalFileName>_downgraded.ghin the original location. So the original location must be writable.
