[Plugin] 1001bit Tools - Architectural tools for SketchUp
-
It's just a work flow issue. Personally I do like as clean UI as possible, but if some tools are used frequently I prefer to have them available instantly tough a toolbar.

Heh, that's opposite of me. I hide all frequent toolbar and only leave the ones I use less.

Rest assured, i wrote all the scripts from scratch; and they are original.
Ok that is clear now!

- isn't it easier if we can just put "1001bit_tools.rbs" and "1001bit" folder in "Plugin" folder as we do with every other ruby scripts?
I also was puzzled by this unusual install process. I don't really like making new folders in the C root.

hi there i have downloaded the trial can you show me where all the files need to be located ...
as i have the 1001bit tools menu in plugins folder but none of the functions do anything
hi haynesc,
The default location for the files is in c:\1001bit
Then copy the file '1001bit_tools.rbs' from c:\1001bit folder into Sketchup's plugins folder.
Start Sketchup.

Hi Goh, first of all congratulations on this clever toolset and thanks for your hard work.
Few questions and suggestions from me.
- where should the folder "1001bit" be placed in case of Macintosh? There is no on Macs.
- isn't it easier if we can just put "1001bit_tools.rbs" and "1001bit" folder in "Plugin" folder as we do with every other ruby scripts?
- 1001bit has very comprehensive UI, yet it's unbelievable that the toolset doesn't have toolbars. It takes too much time to get to "create door" command following the tree structure. SU's personal shortcut is not very capable either.

My apologies for the messy and probably not very clever setup and folder locations.
Guess i was lazy and thought that by fixing the folder on "c:\1001bit" folder, it would be simpler to manage.
Thanks for all the feedbacks. I agree, the idea of creating folders in c:\ is really quite "stone age"
and "Thousands apologies (anyone old enough to remember where this phrase comes from? )" for the Mac users, i really haven't tested this on Mac before.
Appreciate if anyone could offer some help on this.
Note: creating a text file 1001bit_path.rb with the following text
$GH1001bit_path="C:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 7/Plugins/1001bit"
and place it in Sketchup's plugins folder should reassign the path of the scripts to whatever location.Again, my apologies, didn't really expect this to catch much attention this fast; I was taking my sweet time in my slow and easy phase testing and debugging and i believe there's much room to improve still. Really appreciate all the feedbacks and assistance.
Thanks -
hi Mac users,
Tried out the following setup with Takesh and seems to be working for his Mac now, although seems to have problem with the staircase scripts. I'll continue to hunt the bug; meanwhile, setting up for Mac OSX please follow the steps below:Step 1
Place the folder in the following location:
/Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Google Sketchup 7/Sketchup/plugins/1001bitStep 2
Move the file 1001bit_tools.rbs from the 1001bit folder to the plugins folder
/Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Google Sketchup 7/SketchUp/plugins/1001bit_tools.rbsStep 3
Create a simple text file 1001bit_path.rb in the plugins folder
/Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Google Sketchup 7/SketchUp/plugins/1001bit_path.rbStep 4
paste the following text into the 1001bit_path.rb file
$GH1001bit_path="/Library/Application Support/Google Sketchup 6/SketchUp/plugins/1001bit"
or
$GH1001bit_path="/Library/Application Support/Google Sketchup 7/SketchUp/plugins/1001bit"Thanks Takesh-san

Goh Chun Hee,
I get the following error when opening SketchUp 7.0.Error Loading File 1001bit_loader.rb
undefined method `+' for nil:NilClassI also was not able to activate the license.
I copied and pasted the information, then clicked activate but nothing happened.
The program looks very cool though!
I'm looking forward to trying it out.
Thanks,
Mark -
More or less, almost every tool in this pack can be found for free.
Is it me or we don't know the price of the licence ?
Good point: "Free license for Students and academic institutions". -

MarkHi markitekt,
Maybe you made the same mistake i did ,by copying not the 1001bit_tools.rbs file but the 1001bit_loader.rb
into the plugins folder ,this mistake resulted in the same error message.Greetings,
Bep van Malde

Thanks Bep van Malde!
That got it working properly, however I still am unable to activate the license.
It may be a Vista 64 user account issue or something.
I'm going to try to activate logged in as administrator.

Many thanks to Goh for this. Parametrable stairs and escalators

Markhi Mark,
If you're still having problem with activation, feel free to drop me a mail,
i'll send the activation key to you directly.

hi everyone,
I've updated the FAQs on setting up and also updated the 1001bit.zip files to version 1.1.1
The updates are really minor;- there was a bug in the activation -- fixed.
- added a few files -- 1001bit_path_win_su7.rb, 1001bit_path_mac_su7.rb
which contains the correct path for the 1001bit folder for Windows an Mac so that users could just copy it to the plugins folder instead of creating it.
yep, following some good advise here, placing the 1001bit folder in SU Plugins folder.
If you've already placed the folder in c:\1001bit, no need to change anything really it all works fine.
Thanks and regards

Now I managed to install the latest version on SU7 mac, opened SU7 and entered my registration code.
Tried to creat a stair, window, and no luck.
The default values changed all to 0 after the first attempt, then just a big rectangle was created as a component.Exited SU7 and opened again, this time, the 1001bit pluggin wont open at all!
Any ideas?
hi, got this bug report on Mac, anyone experience similar issue?
Truly sorry, my knowledge on Mac environment is really limited; appreciate if someone can assist in this.
Also, i heard that the staircase tools are not working properly on Mac as well, i'm working on catching the Mac BUG.
Thanks
