Common Issues

  • You need the latest service release of Rhino to run ClimateStudio.

  • In some cases if you receive a GPU error, your graphics card drivers may need to be updated. 

  • ClimateStudio only works under Windows, and is not likely to run from a VM such as Parallels on the Mac.

Common Issues

  • The Package Manager does not exist for Rhino 6.
