Installer doesn´t work on German Vista (x64). It runs, but no dll is installed, only components MaxwellDotNet.

Plug-in version independent (x86 or x64).

Installation also doesn´t recognize the plug-in folder of rhino - it allways tries to install "programs(x86)" never the less it´s 32 or 64bit. - saw explanation in forum

Please fix it.

Thanks Siggi


EDIT - NOW IT WORKS:

I have deinstalled every version of all rhino-maxwell-plugins incl. scripting, deleted all left blank folders, cleaned registry (there where 2 missing installations links) and after all it x64 Version worked fine. Plugin was automatically loaded.

Hi Jeremy!

i just recently upgraded to 2.0.6, when i had a gap between two projects..

blocks seem to work fine! but i haven't had time to test it with this particular acad file that caused trouble.. but i will.. at some point :)

just wondering.. is it possible that there is still an error with textures being "unchecked" turning themselves back on upon reopening a scene? i have a finished project here, and when i open it, i get an active weightmap on a layer rendering the walls partially transparent... that's why i noticed (the map was left over form editing.. it could be removed, but i forgot)

another little thing.. when writing to mxs, and sending the job to netrender (i tested coop mode) devignetting is not applied, although set to 100% in the plugin options.

cheers,

daniel

If, by acad file, you mean the one you sent me with alot of people in an auditorium setup, that's one of the ones I used to test the new code. Also, I used some others which showed problems with mirrored blocks, and that problem should be gone now.

The texture enabled/disabled issue should be fixed in 2.0.6 -- testing here, it works fine. There are always specific scenarios where something could be wrong though, so just let me know if you see a problem.

On the net render thing, the plugin just writes the mxs file -- does it work correctly opening in maxwell.exe and studio.exe? If it is working different in net render, that would be a problem with net render. I'll try to check it here when I get a chance though.

i'll try to isolate the material issue.. and then get back to you.

btw. i am seeing problems with GL shadows and objects having maxwell materials assigned.. it simply disables them.(the shadows)

using may 4th wip right now.

Uninstall and reinstall -- the only cause I can think of for an error like that would be bits from more than one version being present on your system. If you want to make sure it's clean after uninstalling, check wherever you installed the plugin to (program files x86 by default), and also the [systemroot]/Windows/assembly folder; that's where most of the plugin lives.
