Grasshopper Functions 2.0

⚠️ A few words of warning ⚠️

Using the new Grasshopper plugin will remove the old one from your Rhino — they are incompatible. You can always go back to the old version if needed — both are on the package manager — but you will find it hard to work on old Hypar functions built using the old version.
🚨
If you have the ShapeDiver plug-in installed, you might run into some conflicts — either uninstall the plug-in or remove Newtonsoft.Json.dll and AWSSDK.Core.dll from the Shapediver plugin folder (see here for more details.)

Setup

To get started using the new version of Grasshopper functions on Hypar, run the PackageManager command in Rhino (if you're in Rhino 6, use TestPackageManager — it might not look like it's there, but it's there - just type and hit enter.)
Search for Hypar, pick hypar-elements-for-grasshopper, select the latest available version, and click Install.

Return to Grasshopper, and paste the ID you just copied in the window. If for any reason it's not open, choose "Work on Existing Function" to reopen.

Click Set up function to proceed.
Two new components should show up on the canvas:

Add a Center Box component, followed by a Mesh parameter, and wire it up like so:
