Does this beta is for everyone or we must have the previous Pro V1?
I just got an email that says it's open to everyone.
My question... Can I do Belled Roofs with it?Nevermind...

on board graphicsSorry to hear this! We are experiencing some issues with stability on certain machine, and would LVOE to look at your installation to see if it will help us make PLAN more stable. Have you been in touch with our Help Desk? If you log a ticket, Brendon should be able to get you up and running, or, at the very least, find the issue that is causing the crash, so we can fix it before the release.
Thank you for trying PLAN, and I hope that we can get you up and running, so we can hear what you think!

That all looks great,
Roofs
Can we have a clear definition at to what is the difference between rafter and truss. Also board width ( which I think this is a sarking board in my part of the world). Heel height ( is this the depth of the birds mouth that is cut into the rafter or a reference to the depth of the fascia board?) How do I set a rafter depth? If these could be pictorially represented within the manual and/or the buildedge properties box that would be great.love the walls, doors and window feature.
keep up the good work

Hi Bruce,
Truss versus rafter is all about the heel (where the roof meets the wall). Below is an excerpt of our online help (I am remote right now, so this is the best I can do right now). I will try to draw up a quick heel for both with more detail later today.
Let me know if there is anything else I can answer for you!
Thanks!

Aaron,
congratulations on getting v2 out! Great work!
Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to get it to open. I have the latest version of SU loaded and have followed your instructions for loading v2 of BuildEdge. The icon appears in SU but nothing happens when I click on it.
Any ideas?
Cheers....

Hi Scotty!
I am going to have our help desk rep, Brendon, contact you and collect a little information. Hopefully we can get you up and running quicker than last time!

I submitted a ticket on the help page regarding the crashes. I am sure they will be able to sort it outThanks
Paul -
I own version 1 and installed version 2 and I'm on Win7 Ultimate and not having any issues.
-
I dont have version 1 on my computer anymore. Is it required to run version 2?
I uninstalled version 2 to see if it would help make it stable. It seemed to be working ok and then it started crashing again. I submitted a ticket to the help desk and they asked for the .log file I cant it find it. -
Kris - Good to hear all is well... please let me know what you think!
Studio - I can follow up on our end, but I will need a little information (as none of the open tickets in our help desk are for "Studio 43"
). I will PM you.Thanks!

Hey Aaron,
I'm testing out the new Beta plugin, and I'm getting some really strange and invasive inferencing issues that won't let me draw a roof. The roof line tool seems to want to stick to everything but the top of the walls, and always shoots off-axis.
Any ideas?
-
Hi Matt,
That is odd! Are you seeing it consistently, or is it only on specific jobs? Have you tried using the Pick Wall command to input (click the little down arrow below the draw icon to switch input modes). Just wondering if that works for line input.
Let me know, and I can see how we can look into what is going on...
Thanks!

I'm experiencing the same thing, Aaron. Its seems to happen mostly when orbit and pan around the model [hold scroll wheel down with shift key]...

Hmm... I will look into this more, guys. Thanks for pointing it out!

Hello
I have tested your cool plugin V2, easy, funny, efficient!
But something curious
I have never successed to make a hole inside a floor during the process!
(there is one on the icone of the Floor tool!
like make a "window hole" or a "door hole" inside a wall without any problem!
At this subject : it's not possible to put a "window hole" inside a floor?
And make inclined walls ?
-
Following on from what Pilou said It would be nice to be able to create curved walls on the fly.
Say you have started your wall profile, click back in the dialogue box select 'curved wall' and the cursor changes to an arc. Input number of segments before selecting the end of the arc and then go about creating it!! Click back in the DB and toggle back to standard walls and carry on...

Hi guys,
Thanks for the notes! I am always looking for additional functionality for future versions. Round was is definitely on the list (not sure when it will be in the software, but it is on the list!).
I wanted to post real quick and let you know that I will be posting a new, more stable version later this week.
You all were able to shine light on some stability issues that we had not run into in house. For that THANK YOU!
Keep an eye out for an updated download link!
Thanks!

Glad to help someone who's interested in stretching SU.....!
