the Disassembly component shows an error

chienthang — Fri, 27 Mar 2026 03:33:21 +0000

I have downloaded the latest version of Biber for Rhino 8, but the Disassemble component shows an error saying I need to use a trial version or activate a license. I want to use the trial version—how can I do that? Is there any tutorial available for this?

UNFOLD Command

Cfeldman — Tue, 25 Nov 2025 16:59:57 +0000

The "Unfold" command isn't appearing even after uninstalling the previous version and installing the latest version from Food4Rhino.
I also have OpenNest installed.

Could you explain why I can't see that command so I can follow the tutorial you explain on YouTube?

Always something strange... Help!
Thanks

Biber Basic Manual

Cfeldman — Tue, 25 Nov 2025 11:00:00 +0000

1- "Basic User Manual for Biber":
It's quite an interesting plugin to learn about, ...
but without a "Basic User Manual," it's quite frustrating trying to figure out how many of Biber's features work (it's a huge waste of time).

2- "Different Types of Joints":
Just looking at the number of "Windows-Commands-or Options"—without even a minimal explanation of each item—makes it seem quite difficult to use it properly.

Imagine someone trying to create a secondary structure and only seeing "a letter" for each option, nothing more than that. (Sometimes it's like hieroglyphics.)

3- "Why don't you upload more videos about using Biber?":
On the other hand, the videos you have made are quite useful, but there are very few of them!

4- It seems that if it's for sale, it should be better explained for the user trying to use it.

Using other methods to materialize things seems simpler than
buying Biber and trying to materialize something.
It seems they're not interested in creating genuine help for the user.

(Or do we need to take a year to understand it better?)

It also seems that the new version has even more options,

and is therefore even more difficult to understand without a basic explanation of how they work.
Sorry, but that's what I think.

Greetings

Biber How to use after these Step

Cfeldman — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 10:35:56 +0000

* On screen, I had done an exercise with Biber trial a while back,

but I still have a question:

""How do I materialize the pieces once ordered using Lasercut?""

How do I assemble the set made with Biber?.

Thanks for your help

( i can't upload together more than 1 file, here ?

Swarmsync is making the repository inside Github but on the Grasshopper side nothing happens expect the error.

"The type initializer for 'LibGit2Sharp.Core.NativeMEthodes' threw an exception"

Does anyone know how to get rid of this error? I tried to reinstall, on different grasshopper files but nothing worked so far.

Issues with missing parts of geometry with Unfold

klaus.teltenkoetter — Wed, 12 Jun 2024 10:15:16 +0000

Find attached my screenshot und my files. My grasshopper file doesn´t show errors but when I look at my baked solid body out of "Unfold" component, than there are little "cubes" missing in the edges. I also have this issue with other similiar files. Is there any way to solve this in the settings?
