Hi Michael,

> Is this something that could be incorporatable into Moi?

Scan & Solve is a plug-in for Rhino - it's something that runs within the Rhino environment and is tied specifically to Rhino.

Geometry is interchangable between MoI and Rhino, but plug-ins are programs that run within the host program's environment and are not interchangable between different programs.

I'd recommend contacting the developers of Scan & Solve and asking them if they could develop a standalone version that ran all on its own instead of only as a plug-in to Rhino.

Or other than that a simple solution is to just get Rhino to run along with MoI and then you can open your MoI objects inside of Rhino to use with Scan & Solve, data exchange from MoI into Rhino works very well, they use the same 3DM file format and you can even use Copy and Paste to move objects back and forth between them.
