An error `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'compas.robots'` occurs when importing the compas\_view2.app  
Perhaps this is due to `from compas.robots import RobotModel` is written in the file …\anaconda3\Lib\site-packages\compas\_view2\objects\__init_\_.py instead of `from compas_robots import RobotModel`. You also need to add a mandatory compas\_robots installation requirement for the compas\_\_view2 library

hi,

`compas_view2` is deprecated. please use `compas_viewer` instead. you can install it directly from PyPI using `pip`.

the repo is available here: [GitHub - compas-dev/compas\_viewer: Standalone viewer for COMPAS with PyOpenGL and PySide6.](https://github.com/compas-dev/compas_viewer)
