Installing Geometry Gym Plugins

1. Download StructDrawRhino and any other plug-ins of interest from http://www.geometrygym.com/downloads Note most plug-ins need Rhino v4 SR8 and the latest version of Grasshopper installed.

2. Run the installers while Rhino is not running.

3. Start Rhino, it should report it's found new plugins and new toolbars should appear. If it doesn't, please drag and drop onto Rhino any rhp files found in C:\Program Files\Rhinoceros 4.0\Plug-ins\SSI (Translate and adjust as necessary) so that they will be loaded when Rhino starts.

4. Run the command sdrZZLicenseRequest and follow the prompts to get a license file, most functionality is not available without a valid license file. Free evaluation available for commercial firms, and free licenses for students for academic use. You can manually locate the "GeomGymLicense.xml" license file at either C:\ProgramData\GeometryGym (Win7 or Vista) or
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\GeometryGym and email it to me if there are problems (Note this system folder is hidden by default, please enable view of hidden folders in Windows File Explorer). The text data I need is also placed in Windows clipboard, so Paste (Menu - Edit - Paste or <CTRL> - v ) into an email to me if you are using web browser based email.

If you need help or assistance, don't hesitate to post here or contact Jon.

Hi
For my school project i got intressted in Tesselation and Space fills
so i found your plug-in. (STRUCTDRAWRHINO)
Now the installation worked just fine, but the License Request fails
When i do it, it tells me it's making some kind of email ready for my request
but then after a few seconds my Rhino crashes...
and my command line says: waiting for an email so be sent or cancelled
So any help on this

Thanks in advance

I'm using Rhino v4 SR8

I have seen a couple of crash reports sent in for license requests, but I haven't been able to isolate what might cause it yet. Maybe if you don't mind you can help me diagnoze it?

But you can manually email me the file I need to jonm@geometrygym.com

If you have Win7 or Vista, find the GeomGymLicense.xml in C:\ProgramData\GeometryGym or C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\GeometryGym

The folder is hidden, you can make them visible if you need to in Windows File Explorer in the menu Tools-Options-View

Sorry for the problem, it's not common.

Cheers,

Jon

I'm not able to activate your license
I sent the email the mail but I didn't receive anything to activate it.

Thanks

Hi Mirco,

At least for the time being, the response is manual. Your reply is on it's way via email.

Cheers,

Jon

Hi Jon,

thank you for this very interesting soft, but...))
I have the same problem like guys, can you help?
Rhino asked me to send you email with "GeomGymLicense.xmlnew" file.
what will be the next step to start using GeomGym?

regards.

Hello,

I am a student from Innsbruck. I have downloaded the StructDrawRhino. Installation was no problem, but if I try to use the polygon packing it keeps asking me for the trial license. I have run the command sdrZZLicenseRequest and sent the email but it´s still not working. help!!!

Hello Jon,

I e-mailed you yesterday for a student license activation. Could you check if you have received it or should I e-mail it again?

Thanks in advance,

Thanasis

Hi Thanasis,

Let me know if you don't have it now. Apologies in advance to all, I'm in transit and a schedule of meetings and trainings for the next 10 days or so. I'll endeavour to reply to all license requests within 24 hours.

Cheers,

Jon

Hi Jon!

I mailed you today for a student license too. I really need it for this week, so if you come there these days... please could you check your mails? =)

Thanks a lot by advance!
