I followed the steps that are listed on the website but when I click sync after I have opened both apps the direct link pop up does not show up and the command on Rhino says :

An unexpected error has occurred:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

at DatasmithRhino.DatasmithRhinoExportContext.TryParseLayer(Layer CurrentLayer, DatasmithActorInfo ParentNode)

at DatasmithRhino.DatasmithRhinoExportContext.RecursivelyParseLayerHierarchy(Layer CurrentLayer, DatasmithActorInfo ParentNode)

at DatasmithRhino.DatasmithRhinoExportContext.AddActor(ModelComponent InModelComponent)

at DatasmithRhino.DatasmithRhinoExportContext.ModifyActor(ModelComponent InModelComponent, Boolean bReparent)

Hello ,

Thank you for posting in the community about your issue.

If you are using a windows machine you can try to uninstall and reinstall the plugin with admin permissions to make sure it installs correctly. Then run both application and try to establish a direct-link.

If this did not work we would need to investigate this further, would you be able to contact us directly by reporting a bug with this link:
