Wish: Separate Octane Versions for different Rhino Versions
Posted: Tue Apr 07, 2026 4:48 pm
Hi there!
I'm struggling with backward compatibility when opening older Octane files.
As a solution, could we have the option to 'pin' specific Octane versions to different Rhino installations?
For instance, using an older build for Rhino 7 and the latest one for Rhino 8.
Adding a simple toggle in the latest installer to choose the target Rhino version would make managing these legacy projects much easier.
This way we could install an older version of Octane and then on top of that install the newest version just for Rhino 8 and keep the old version with 7 Rhino.
