Troubleshooting common installation issues

Error: Plugin ID Already In Use
If you have previously installed Fologram on your machine for ‘Anyone that uses this PC’ and re-install the plugin ‘Just for me’ this may cause conflicts that prevent the plugin from loading. You can remove any existing versions of Fologram you have installed with the steps below to address this issue.
Fologram should automatically update any existing versions of the plugin when you run a more recent version of the installer. However if you have a previous beta version of Fologram installed, or have installed Fologram for multiple users on your machine, you may encounter conflicts when loading the plugin.
If the Fologram plugin fails to load in Rhino after installation, you can try:
  1. Run the PackageManager command, click the Installed tab, then uninstall Fologram. Restart Rhino
  1. Delete any existing Fologram folders in C:\Users\%YOUR USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\%YOUR RHINO VERSION%\Plug-ins
  1. Delete any existing Fologram folders in C:\Program Files\Common Files\McNeel\Rhinoceros\%YOUR RHINO VERSION%\Plug-ins
  1. Launch Rhino and run the Fologram command to verify that all plugins have been completely removed.
Then re-install the plugin and choose ‘Just for me’ when prompted. If you continue experiencing issues with installation or upgrading, contact support@fologram.com.
