The growing list of Grasshopper plugins you can use with ShapeDiver. Check this page out regularly!
While we definitely want to support lots of great plugins in the near future, for now ShapeDiver can only handle built-in Grasshopper components and selected plugins. Some plugins of the list are only partially supported, when they contain components we can't allow yet. Find under each plugin a Grasshopper definition that contains all its components that aren't allowed on our platform.
Plugin versions
We try to stay up to date with most plugins, when it is possible. Nevertheless, the current version of a plugin supported by our servers is not always the latest one, make sure you check if it matches before downloading.
Plugin Package for ShapeDiver
For convenience, we have built an archive containing all the third-party plugins that are supported on ShapeDiver's servers. The archive contains version compatible with both Rhino 5 and Rhino 6. Uncompress the files, make sure they are unblocked in the Properties (Right-click - > Properties - > Unblock) and copy them to the Libraries folder of Grasshopper. You'll be set with a full set of ShapeDiver-compatible tools. Download it here.
Clusters
Some plugins like Peacock and Lunchbox consist of a set of clusters. In that case, all versions of the plugin are supported, but each cluster that our system doesn't know yet will need to be validated, in the same way that script components are handled. Find more information about model checking here.
Python scripting
Rhino 6 supports Python scripting natively, and so does ShapeDiver. Users of Rhino 5 can use the official interpreter plugin developed by Giulio Piacentino.

Dendro is a volumetric modeling plug-in for Grasshopper built on top of the OpenVDB library. It provides multiple ways to wrap points, curves, and meshes as a volumetric data type, allowing you to then perform various operations on those volumes. Dendro includes components for boolean, smoothing, offsets, and morphing operations. *Download the slightly modified version below for using with ShapeDiver. |

Weaverbird is a topological modeler that contains many of the known subdivision and transformation operators, readily usable by designers. Instead of doing the work repeatedly, or sometimes using complicated scripts, this plug-in reconstructs the shape, subdivides any mesh, even made by polylines, and helps preparing for fabrication. |
