Enterprise Deployment

If you are an Enterprise customer, you will be issued a deployment that will support wider installation to the LOCAL MACHINE level of a device. This makes it convenient to automate the deployments of Conveyor and support a larger group of users.

Installation

• Download the EXE (provided to you by Proving Ground)
  • NOTE: Verify that the file has not been blocked by your system and “unblock” if necessary. 
• Run the EXE
  • Note: There will be no interface, it will install without user interaction
• This installer will copy Conveyor files to two C:\ProgramData locations
  • C:\ProgramData\Proving Ground\Conveyor
  • C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\[VERSION]
• The root Conveyor Rhino 8 plugin is located at:
  •  %PROGRAMDATA%\Proving Ground\Conveyor\ProvingGround.ConveyorRhinoInside
  • There are two subdirectories here:
    • net7.0 folder – Contains Rhino 8 plugin files for NET Core (supporting use with Revit 2025-2026)
    • net48 folder – Contains Rhino 8 plugin files for NET Framework (supporting use with Revit 2022-2024)
• Note: If run from the command line, the installer should accept a “remove” argument and delete these files\

Registry Edits

As a Local Machine install, there are some different Registry entries to make at the LOCAL_MACHINE level – your IT will need to push these keys:

• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Proving Ground\d35febfc-1ec2-4f5a-b985-c292e1ed32e3\ce9ffdb5-bf21-478e-91f0-f6e2acdc5f16
  • Two String values pairs
    • Key: [YOUR LICENSE]
    • Site: [YOUR SITE ID]
• For Rhino 8:
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\McNeel\Rhinoceros\8.0\Plug-ins\ccf2ea6d-66d6-4714-8aea-43dfed0add5c
    • Two String value pairs:
      • FileName: C:\ProgramData\Proving Ground\Conveyor\ProvingGround.ConveyorRhinoInside\net7.0\ProvingGround.ConveyorRhinoInside.rhp
        • NOTE: The FileName string needs to contain reference to only one of the Conveyor RHP file locations (net7.0 or net48). Rhino 8 (SR12) will be able to select the appropriate plugin version to load based on Rhino’s current runtime (NET Core or Framework).
      • Name: ProvingGround.ConveyorRhinoInside

Example Batch Routine for Automated Installation

The following is a batch routine to illustrate the deployment of Conveyor using a CLI. Your enterprise’s specific information for Licensing should be used to complete this example. Deployments and automation should be tested and performed by and administrator.

:: NOTE: RUN FROM COMMAND LINE AS ADMINISTRATOR

:: STEP 1: Add the registry entries for Conveyor
:: Replace "[...]" with Site and Key values where applicable

REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Proving Ground\d35febfc-1ec2-4f5a-b985-c292e1ed32e3\ce9ffdb5-bf21-478e-91f0-f6e2acdc5f16" /v Site /t REG_SZ /d "[YOUR SITE]"
REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Proving Ground\d35febfc-1ec2-4f5a-b985-c292e1ed32e3\ce9ffdb5-bf21-478e-91f0-f6e2acdc5f16" /v Key /t REG_SZ /d "[YOUR KEY]"

:: STEP 2: Add the Rhino 8 Plugin Registry entries

REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\McNeel\Rhinoceros\8.0\Plug-ins\ccf2ea6d-66d6-4714-8aea-43dfed0add5c" /v FileName /t REG_SZ /d "C:\ProgramData\Proving Ground\Conveyor\ProvingGround.ConveyorRhinoInside\net7.0\ProvingGround.ConveyorRhinoInside.rhp"
REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\McNeel\Rhinoceros\8.0\Plug-ins\ccf2ea6d-66d6-4714-8aea-43dfed0add5c" /v Name /t REG_SZ /d "ProvingGround.ConveyorRhinoInside"

:: STEP 3: Run the ConveyorV5.installer.exe
:: Replace "[...]" with Directory values where applicable

START "Conveyor" "[DIRECTORY LOCATION]/ConveyorV5.installer.exe"
