[Plugin] 1001bit Tools - Architectural tools for SketchUp
-
One 'tip' for v1 pro users who are upgrading to v2 pro...
If you install v2 files overwriting the v1 files, then Sketchup might no longer auto-load 1001tools at all, as there will be some initial error messages [re. incorrect key etc].
You cannot therefore enter your new key-code into a dialog as your upgrade email has instructed. Bummer !
However, if you look in the 1001tool's subfolder there's a file called 1001bit_pro.key... open that using Notepad or similar plain-text editor like Notepad++... edit>copy your new key string from you confirmation email [all 458 characters of it!] and then in the .key file edit use edit>select-all and then edit>paste to overwrite the old key string. Save the .key file and restart Sketchup, now 1001tools v2 pro should auto-load successfully with all of the new/improved features... Fixed !!

Thanks TIG, does not appear as you show it, in my case (Windows 7 64bit) I have to look at COMPATIBILITY FILES to display the file. Key

Arrrgh ! No, No, No...
You do not have the proper access-rights to install Plugins.
As an Administrator... Highlight the Plugins folder icon.
Right-click context-menu Properties > Security/
Change/Edit the settings so to ensure that YOU/others-like-you have 'FULL permissions'.
Windows Vista/Win7 tries to protect you from yourself... if you have limited rights and you try to install files/subfolders within 'Program Files', it [stupidly] doesn't tell you, BUT installs them into a 'Compatibility Fies' subfolder instead ???
You should only put the files/subfolders into the locations specified in the tool's instructions [typically 'Plugins']...
To do otherwise is a recipe for problems
YOU should have full access rights to the folders for Plugins, Materials, Components and Styles - otherwise you will get unpredictable results when trying to install any of these types of file...

I have a problem with the selection of doors/windows presets tool: http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/1949/bugtp.jpg (it's just an example, sometimes no windows appears). I used to have problems with the simple stairs in the previous version too, but it works in this one!

Hello, first off allow me to say what a great plugin this is. As a student in architecture it has really helped me cut down on the time it takes to build my models. I have only one question. The version of the plugin that i just downloaded with an academic license is v1.1.7, however it seems from the forums that version 2 is out. May i ask if that is a version available only for purchased licenses, or will the academic licenses be able to upgrade as well?
-
Why not ask the question on the 1001 forums?
-
just me or is the link on the first page misdirecting to another place?

Ty.. downloaded latest version of sketchup.. rebuilding plugins folder

I tried to register at 1001bit forums and got this message in red saying my IP address was blacklisted as a spammer (I have definitely NOT spammed anyone). Anyone else had this problem? Also I would like to know if this would be a problem for me when it comes to activating the product? I want buy it now. I understand the company is in the far east so I don't expect a response from them just yet. Can I just buy 1001bit without registering to the forums or would my email given during activation be treated in a separate way?
BTW, this set looks really good! I'm shocked I have not heard of this plugin until I stumbled on it while shopping for plugins yesterday. I'm so late to this community.
-
Well Goh got back to me sooner than I expected and explained what was going on (IP stuff). It's all sorted and I just bought my license.
-
Goh is always on top of customer service. welcome to the club of 1001... You're gonna love it.
-
Yes! I will echo that! The service is excellent! I wish most software was as responsive. Well worth every penny! I now won't work on a machine without this plugin loaded on it! I recommend it to anyone using Sketchup to do any architectural project! Can't wait till the next version upgrade!

hi guys,
I have been trying to catch the crashing bug for 1001bit in SU2013, the odd thing is, for some pcs, it crashes a few times and then seems to solve itself without me doing anything.
I tried to run 1001bit inside SU2014, Windows8.1;
it crashes initially, after i changed SU2014 to run under Win7 compatibility mode, it no longer crashes.
Thought I update everyone on this.
(BTW, i repeated this message across other topics that reported the crashes, hope you guys don't mind...)
Cheers!
GohCH
