Best fit facewhat an incredible tool kit this has become... well it always has been. how can you top yourself, when you keep setting expectations so high.
instant tube frame or roll cage... just a few clicks and bang. and it lines up great. do you realize how much time I spent building the roll cage for my Nascar?

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.
