Moose

Moose is a Rhino solution that demonstrates how to share a common C++ library between a Rhino C++ plug-in, a RhinoCommon plug-in written in C#, and a Grasshopper component written in C#.

The solution contains the following projects:

• MooseCoreLib — Rhino dependent C++ assembly (DLL).
• MooseCommon — .NET assembly that exposes the functions exported from MooseCoreLib.
• Moose — Rhino C++ plug-in that references MooseCoreLib.
• MooseNet — RhinoCommon plug-in that references MooseCommon.
• MooseGh — Grasshopper component that references MooseCommon.
