Oh boy! We have tracked down a problem with Windows XP systems. Seems there was an issue with the way the Visual Studio built dlls or some such technical issue. Good news is we have a fix and will be releasing a new version today. If anyone is having this issue, just PM or email me (adietzen@keymark.com) and I will get you a fix, ASAP.

So sorry for any inconvenience!

Hi Munkey,

We defer to SketchUp units, so you can specify the door and window parameters in your preferred unit of measure.

Thanks!

That would be it and we have a fix! I am sending the new RBZ in right now...

Since I don't know when that will end up in the store, I can send you the RBZ if you want to send me an email address. Alternatively, you can download an updated installer here:

(store.buildedge.com)

It is marked as the "Update Installer" but it will install the full version as well.

As always, please let me know what you think!

Thanks!

TIG

That latest updated version is now in the SketchUcation PluginStore...

Hi Aaron, have watched the 3.0 videos and looks like a big leap foward!!

For some reason though this is what I get when loaded? Seems the dialogue box is scrambled; I can't seem to be able to insert my serial number.

I will try the uppdater

Much better...
Just a very anxious suspense !
1 minute 40 seconds before something arrives after the first click on the icon !
All is freezing then all works fine!
Never seen that for any plugin : I have tested some thousands!
Do you test something to Internet ? (I have a speedy connection)
Tested on a not very old computer ( 3 years 5 cores)
This is happening only at the start of a Sketchup session!
After the first openning of the plugin it works normally at each call of the plugin!

Another thing: does it normal in the free demo to not have door, window, floor ?

Hi Aaron,

if I am part way through my design using build edge and I need to close sketchup. When I re start sketchup and continue with my design do I loose the functionality of buildedge? Does it commit to sketchup on closing in other words.

Hi Bruce,

Closing SketchUp should not affect your BuildEdge data. You should be able to save, close, reopen and continue working. We only Commit when you tell us to!

Thanks!

Hi Andrew!

Woah! That ain't right!

Looks like a problem initializing the java script. Is that happening every time you try to run, or just the first time? If it IS every time, I will need to get some more data from you. I think it is something that we can fix pretty easily, but it might take a little bit of investigation.

Thanks!

First off, I gotta say I am really enjoying the colors.

Now, as for the delay, is that happening every time you launch, or just the first time? Unfortunately, we do authorize the software, and that can take a little time (though, to be honest, 1 minute 40 seems a little too long).

As for doors, windows and floors, yep! That, along with advanced roof input and automatic input are paid functionality (but only $29!).

Thanks!

haven't heard back on how to retrieve my serial number...

also I tried rounding a curved wall and it seems the system is can't do short wall lengths like under 8" maybe?

Hi Kris,

Sorry, did you contact our help desk for your Serial Number? It is very quick and easy to reset. If you email me (adietzen@keymark.com) I will get that done and right back to you. Alternatively, you can contact the Help Desk through our site (http://www.buildedge.com/help).

As for the walls, it will not draw walls that are shorter than they are wide. It can do 8" long walls, as long as the wall width is thinner than 8".

Thanks!

Krisidious

they just sent serial, as for length of wall. that's probably the issue walls are 6" and was trying to make 4" length. around a curve.

Aaron,

I don't see anyway to get the new version for free on your website (I am a current user)?? Does the free version on the plug-in store become the full version with the input of my old activation key?

Regards,
Kris

Yah....okay.
Update button is for the program download, not updating the shopping cart.

Hi Kris,
Glad you figured that out... yeah, we will be changing that term from "Update" to "Upgrade"

Sorry for the confusion...

Thanks!

Yes every time I Launch SU!
So for avoid this I can stay On Su 24 h / 24 h (not very ecologic!

So an authorisation the firt time will be some better!
Ok all that explain the remarks!
