Installation

The Thea Node installers can be downloaded either from your Altair One account or the Downloads page on the Thea Render website.

IMPORTANT:
You should always make sure that both the integrations (Thea for SketchUp / Rhino) and Thea Node are the same version and revision.
Example: Thea for SketchUp v3.0.1145.1951 and Thea Node v3.0.008.1951. Both applications are version 3 and Revision 1951.
