XirusCAD® is currently available for Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10.
Rhino 6.10 or Rhino 5 (64-bit): XirusCAD® is currently developed for Rhino 6 and Rhino 5. Note that for Rhino 6 compatibility, version 6.10 or higher needs to be installed (6.9 and previous are not compatible with XirusCAD). If you have Rhino 6 already installed and it says it’s up to date, you can manually install the update by downloading the installer from https://www.rhino3d.com/.
The same XirusCAD license key works for both Rhino 6 and 5.
