      I solved the problem and perhaps this will help others. Call the Keymark office in Boulder. They will take your credit card info over the phone and then once cleared, the tech support folks will send you the authorization code by email. Some additional info They are still working on BuildEdge and hope to release something next year.Although dont know what that means. Sketchucation is the site to find any updates. You can install it on two machines but you have to shut down one before you can start the other. So one machine in the office and one at home is ok povided you remember to shut down one before starting the other. Too complicated so I bought a second copy and dont have to remember to shut down before I go home.

      Hi Aaron, i downloaded the Build edge Plan and installed it on diverent Versions of Sketchup. it is not possible to test it, allways i get the message "Build Edge pro has expired". 3 years ago i worked with this Plugin and Sketchup 2014, I was very pleased and all worked fine. i also tryed to install my old version, but i think it's not longer working, the last years i had not installed Sketchup and Build Edge plan. Now i would buy Build edge plan, but when i click on "buy" I will be forwarded to a Domain "http://store.buildedge.com/" Where there is no possibility to buy the Plugin ??? Please send me information how i can buy Build edge plan. Attached a Mail from 2014 for info. Sorry my bad englisch, i hope you can help me. best regards Rudolf E-mail from Brendon Studholme 2014 E-Mail from 2014

      @unknownuser said: Looking great Aaron. Just a couple thoughts 1.it would be great to be able to insert multi-sash windows as well. 2.adjustable trim configurations 3.adjustable stile and rails. Also, when you are forming floors and walls and roof lines are they automatically set into separate groups? This would be great for layer control. Great work! Hi Nick, Thanks for the input! To address your questions directly: We do plan on getting different window types in the future. This first release we added the VERY simple tool of adding what we call dividers. These can be used to represent sashes, mullions.... whatever! We do allow the trim to be adjusted for width, at this point. I would love to see the kinds of controls you would be interested in. Please let me know what you think would be useful. Again, in the future releases we want to add this, please send me your thoughts on inputting these items. Thanks for the kind words! Hopefully I can get additional input and amp doors and windows way-up in the next release! Thanks! Aaron

      @aarondietzen said: Hi all, So over in another area of the forum it has been revealed that there was a bug in SketchUp related to materials and observers. It looks like they will be fixing it in the near future. We have been looking into this an working directly with SketchUp in an effort to get this fixed the right way (as opposed to us creating a monster of a solution to get around the problem). It is great to see that they are on it! Thanks! Aaron Now we will see if Trimble's idea of "On It" is the same as Google's.

      Hi all! We have been developing/testing primarily on Mountain Lion. We have done some testing on Lion, and have not seen huge issues, but we cannot guarantee that it will work 100% on Lion. As for the cursors (having the orbit or arrow cursor while drawing, for example), this is an issue in either version fo OS that we are working on. Please let me know, either in this topic or via PM what you think, or if you see any problems. Thanks! Aaron

      After trying this again, yes, it can be horrible. I set the AA to (4) as I had to give a presentation on a house model (no entourage or interior). It showed pretty well, and I actually accomplished many modifications on screen (a projection setup at the meeting) but it started the beachball spinning just to select an edge. I have tried just doing my modelling on this setting and sometimes it is OK but others it just sucks or crashes. I can only blame it on this (and my weak computer perhaps).

      Hi Thomas, Sorry to hear you were having installation issues. It looks like our Help Desk is in touch with you, though. In fact, it looks like Rick in our office has emailed you and is waiting to hear back. Unfortunately, we are limited as to the hours that we can offer support, but most issues that come in through the website are adressed within an hour (or, if the issue comes in at night, or over the weekend, we try to respond right away the next business morning). Anyhow, please let em know if you have any issues with our software once you are up and running! Thanks! Aaron

      @krisidious said: That's great. But SU plugin should be cheaper than Revit... Because people who own Revit obviously have money to burn. Gaieus got it! Our BuildEdge Roof plugin (for that other software) is really just a macro that simplifies the creation of pitched roofs... BuildEdge PLAN allows you to create walls and roofs (with a far more intelligent and powerful roof engine) in SketchUp... and SketchUp is awesome!

      Aaron, here's my thoughts: Wall tool User to input profile details [width, height, Layer, etc]. As you build the wall sequence, each segment is 'grouped' to allow for individual edits in future. [I've attached a quick vid of what 1001bit tools do. It's not bad but does require additional user input to draw on axis as well as snap cursor seems a little 'loose' unlike the SU standard...] 2012-01-31_0819.swf Just on this topic, I believe a plugin's operation and UI should be identical to that of SU. It would just make the users experience seamless.... Now with wall segments. Give the user the option to either build walls with Mitre or butt end. The reason is so the user can edit a particular wall segment individually. Eg: extend wall segment vertically to create a parapet wall or rake a wall top to follow roof pitch.... 2012-01-31_0833.swf In addition to the Wall tool there should be a Wall Edit tool to change from Mitre to Butt end for unique situations. This should be very easy given that such boolean operations are able to be done via Solid tools. [image: T9xS_2012-01-31_0851.png] I'll post more on windows, doors, etc later..
