Hi
I have a old but very good license of Rhino Marine that I do like know if MOI nurb are able to run this program. If no, How will be feasible implemented?
Thanks very much in advance.

Hi MOAI01, sorry no it's not possible to run a Rhino plug-in using MoI.

MoI can read .3dm model data files saved out from Rhino, but plug-ins are a much different thing. A Rhino plug-in is made up of runnable code, it relies on many specific interfaces in the Rhino environment. The MoI runtime environment is not an exact replica of Rhino.

In general it's only possible to run software plug-ins on the specific system they were targeted for.

It's kind of like how a car engine has many areas where it connects to the rest of the car - you can't just take an engine from one car and stick it into another one, all the connections are different.

Thanks for your response Michael,
Does Moi has a runtime environment that gives a same capabilities of plug-in that Rhino has?

Hi MOAI01,

No, MoI doesn't currently have as extensive of a plug-in system as Rhino. It's possible to write scripts to extend MoI and automate things in various ways but Rhino has a far more in depth system.

I'd like to add more plug-in capabilities to MoI in the future, but both documentation and supporting other developers working on plug-ins is very time consuming and so I have not made it a focus area of MoI as of yet.

Thanks very much Michael,
Hopefully in the nearest future some hull hydrostatics plug-in for MOI!
Have a nice day.

Hi MOAI01, I'm sorry but I don't know of anyone currently developing a full hydrostatics plug-in for MoI, so it's not likely that there will be one in the near future.
