This add-on uses the rhino3dm.py module
(https://github.com/mcneel/rhino3dm) to read in 3dm files.
This code is currently being written directly for Blender 2.80, even though it is still pre-beta. In general the latest 2.80 build for your platform from Blender Builder should be fine.
The add-on will automatically install all dependencies in user-writable locations.
- Note on MacOS some preparations need to be done, see next section
- Start Blender 2.80
- In top menu press Edit > User Preferences...
- Select the section Add-ons
- In the bottom of that window select Install add-on from file...
- Browse to where you saved the zip file, select it and press the Install add-on from file button in the top right of the file browser
- There may be exceptions and warnings, look in the output to see if you need to do anything (note: on Linux you'll most likely will have to run the pip installation manually. The terminal will have the line to run)
- Restart Blender.
