The Vertex Tools license is per-user - to use on all your computers.

Hello Thom,
I've just purchased the Vertex tool plugin. I loaded in SU with the Sketchucation importer and....it doesn't work! I close nd re open SU and it appears to me a loading error message on screen. How can I fix it? Please help me to find a way to fix it
I have SU 2015 and Windows 8 pc and various other plugins loaded. Maybe something incompatible?

It would be useful if you share the exact error message.

hi all! just started using this tool and am LOVING it! one thing though. is there any way to enter a scale or distance factor when in gizmo mode? the advantage of this would be that i could scale by half in just one axis rather than all at once. thanks in advance for your tips and this excellent resource!

hm... this should be working... but something seems to be broken.. I need to file this as a bug and investigate. Sorry.

thomthom, I was trying to update my version of vertex tools by downloading the latest version from your site and it keeps getting flagged as a virus.

Achk! This is Windows Defender, right? Windows 10?

Had this issue a couple of releases ago. I submitted the false positive to Microsoft and they updated their definitions.

For some reason Defender freaks out about a JS file used for the webdialogs. It's bogus though.

thomthom · 17 Sept 2016, 08:27

I submitted new reports to Microsoft; https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/portal/submission/submit.aspx

I also asked if they could provide any info to why Defender keeps freaking out.

alpro · 17 Sept 2016, 10:26

thomthom, Windows 7 Professional and Microsoft Security Essentials, if it makes a difference.

Can you try downloading from Extension Warehouse? http://extensions.sketchup.com/en/content/vertex-tools

I'm curious if Defender reacts differently depending on what site the file is downloaded from.

alpro · 17 Sept 2016, 12:26

No issues downloading through the extension warehouse

thomthom · 17 Sept 2016, 14:28

Interesting. I wonder if part of this might be trust based on download source. My website is a rather new one - so possibly that affects things... I dunno. I just hope they come back to me with some insight.

I buy a license... but today the vertex tool doesn't work.
I have a blank panel with the title "Vertex tool license"...
How I can reactivate my license ?

Hi. Sorry to hear that.

I need some more information though.

What SketchUp version?
What version of Vertex Tools do you have installed?

Also, you are on Windows, right? Windows 7?
Any chance that you are using IE8? If so, then you need to update IE as minimum version for SketchUp and Vertex Tools is IE9.

Hi Tomtom
I have purchased the plugin, but when i activating a gizmo the soft select radius in measurement dialog appear.
I try moving the vertex when a gizmo is active (using the arrow), and the measurement dialog show the distance, but when i release the gizmo (arrow), the dialog automatically change to soft select radius, and the distance disappear.
I can not move precisely vertex with numerical imput!

Did you try hitting enter to finish.

Yes, nothing change!

That sounds similar to that another user reported: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323%26amp;t=29636%26amp;p=604392#p603638

I've yet to figure out the cause of that is. It's high up on the list though.
