When did the licensing to Placemaker change to an annual subscription model?

I contacted the company 2 days ago but have had NO RESPONSE.
I suggest you consider that there was a weekend in between. Whaat is normally quite good at resolving matters.

so far this plugin is a waste of money...
I bought the educational licence and the overlay they provide cannot and does not scale to the maps they provide.
basically, the buildings and roads are out of scale with the maps which makes this overly expensive app useless. I contacted the company 2 days ago but have had NO RESPONSE. I would avoid this app, it's useless and unattended to. Next step is getting blender and doing this in a way that actually works.
Give me my money backi suggest you chill brandon. whatt will get back to you. be nice.
although in hindsight, rereading your post, this is a forum where people try to help each other, so I now suggest you go blender yourself. xx

Give me my money backHi Brandon,
Your first contact with us about this issue was Saturday morning at 3am local time. Over the weekend, you continued to send us repeated emails.We are typically praised by our customers for our quick response time compared to many large companies. We are a very small firm and do not have an army of out-sourced support personnel overseas covering our support requests over the weekend. Instead, when you send us a request, you will get a response from either myself or Brian (who did 90% of the programming for PlaceMaker). We normally respond to support requests within 24 hours but we don't work weekends and we ask that you respect that.
As soon as I arrived to work this Monday morning, I responded to your support request. The issue that you are having is not typical and I am confident that we will be able to resolve this issue for you.
Let's continue this conversation through our customer support channel. Thanks!

seems like a bit of a learning curve but looking forward to getting the most out of it!

I guess the company is out of business, the software does not work. The support is unresponsive. Just wasted my money.

I am using Placemaker since a few months.
recently I have a problem.
when I try to import the geometrie I have the following error:
"Selection must contain previously imported 3D Earth tiles. No valid tiles were selected."
but I used placemaker Google import first
what can I do?
-
@jo-ke I'd send them a support ticket. They are usually responsive.

thank you.
Done!

Is placemaker still working?
I used to import Googlemaps buildings, but now they want a yearly paid subscription.
Is anybody else using this app?
-
Any app with some type of GIS data import comes with a cost. Placemaker initially had a credit type solution but it moved to yearly sub after a few versions.
-
OK, I want to make the yearly subscription. I've choosen the 109 $ but they will add 1000 tokens for 130 $ to my account.
Is that the subscription?

-
Credit are for tiles which is the Pay-as-you-go version not the Subscription
PlaceMaker Credits - SketchUp PlaceMaker
PlaceMaker Credits PlaceMaker Credits are the new universal credit system for V3 and future versions of the PlaceMaker Plugin. Instead of different credits for different products as in our previous version, the new credit system is much more flexible and has several advantages: * Credit prices and import costs are subject to change.
