[Plugin] 1001bit Tools - Architectural tools for SketchUp

[Ken]

Ooops
I have not been updating that version information!!!
(just uploaded the corrected zip file);
the info should show version 1.2 if your installed with the latest zip file (from the above link)

Sorry for the confusion
GohCH

OK, I have tried to download Version 1.2. And again, I have now 30 day trial version has expired. And when I send in for another authorization number, I get that two authorization numbers have already been issued for this computer. Dam right, apparently I need a new number every time you upgrade the software. YOU HAVE THE LEAST UNDERSTANDABLE UPGRADE PROCEDURE THAT I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH.

So, one can not determine which version he has on his computer, because you don't keep track of the upgrades in the license info box, and when I do upgrade I have to go thought hoops to just get the software running again.

Dam, you have good software, just figure out how to do better with your license number. I went thought this not to long ago when I upgraded from Vista to Windows 7.

Pissed I am, Ken

It shouldn't be this hard to do an upgrade.

hi Ken,
My apology for this. I was trying to make the loading faster to by pass the command windows and there seems to be a bug there!
There's an incompatibility with some of the activation keys issued last year which i have just realised.
Sorry everyone, I am taking 1001bit Pro version 1.2 off for fixing for a few days.
will put it up for download when fix that bug.
Again Ken, really sorry about the inconvenience!

Sir

Mr Hee let me apologize for my bad forum behavior. Guess I should have waited before sending the above note. To all forum members, Mr. Hee has sent me a new authorization code that works and has alway in the past responded quickly and in a helpful manner. Sir there was very little inconvenience, just frustrations in trying to keep a desktop and laptop in sync.

Again, let me thank you for you very useful plugins and your continued assistance.

Ken

Hi Ken,
Thanks and please do not apologize for anything.
I am really grateful that you raised a very important bug, as well as reminding me the importance of clarity and ease of use.
If not for your comments, there will be a lot more people having problem with the bug right now.
and, for every feedback on issues, there are always a lot more people who are frustrated with similar issues.

Thanks again, and thanks for sending me your old key for debugging.
I'll try to debug this so that we can get rid of the command window that seems to slow down the loading.

Cheers!

hi everyone,
I've just uploaded the debugged 1001bit Pro (version 1.2) for download.

The update contains the following:
1) panel divide tool (re-written, should work better)
2) startup loading; loads faster and should not show the black command dialog,
and also got rid of the request code.

Please try out
cheers!

Cheers! I'll give it a whirl. I've come to the habit of having 1001bit disabled by default and only load on demand due to the load performance and flashing command windows. Now I might keep it enabled.

Thanks Goh, great stuff!!

what 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 !!

TIG: Did you report this upgrade problem?

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?

[TIG]

Why not ask the question on the 1001 forums?

[opal]

just me or is the link on the first page misdirecting to another place?

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.

[Mistro11]

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.
