Integrating Updated Components in Rhino 8.1 with Ladybug Tools 1.7: Strategies and Solutions

[freedom0525]

I am currently using Rhino 8.1 with Ladybug Tools 1.7 and have noticed that some components are marked as “old.” Does this mean these components are outdated? If so, how should I go about updating them? Is there an automatic update feature available, or do I need to manually download and replace these old components? Any detailed steps for this process would be greatly appreciated.

Hi -

I am currently using Rhino 8.1 with Ladybug Tools 1.7 and have noticed that some components are marked as “old.”

For the time being, you’ll have to run the latest development version of the LBT plug-in:

Getting Ready for Rhino V8

FYI, @tay.0 and @eirannejad , I finished integrating all of the fixes into the latest development version of the LBT plugin, which is available with the LB Versioner. So there’s no more OLD tag in Rhino 8 and all of the cases where we use subprocess to call an external Python library succeed. I’m just waiting on a few updates to our single-click Pollination installer and then I’ll make an official post that includes an updated installer on Food4Rhino
