Excuse me if I'm wrong, but I think iLive Reader can do this, but I'm new to iLive Reader and could be wrong, just something to check into.

It is available at SC4 Devotion. Be sure to read the listing. You will need Gmax installed first.

The BAT - Building Architect Tool can be found on sc4 devotion website - you need to set up a name and password to download plugins. Also on this site, as well as lots of forums, you will find BSC LEX section - name and password needed- where you'll find loads of materials and plugins etc. Highly recommended good luck!

    Where do I find Gmax?

    From Turbosquid. There's a link on the BAT page through the link in the above post.

    I don't mean to sound problematic, but now GMAX won't register my code. Others seem to have this problem with XP [i'm using XP] this is very frustrating.

    Ok, to install the BAT after you've downloaded gmax and the BAT installer:

    1. Install gmax.
    2. Activate gmax by starting it up and going to Turbosquid to register and get a password (license number).
    3. Install the BAT, which should now go in like silk. It did on XP when I installed it.
    4. Open the BAT from the shortcut.

    And awaay you go. For openers follow the BAT tutorial on the Omnibus. This eases the shock and helps with the learning curve.

    Enjoy.

    When the initialization dialogue takes you to turbo squid, fill out their form. They will give you a very long key. Use your mouse to copy this key and paste it in the key box for gmax. Do not try to copy it manually, and copy it very carefully with no extra characters.

    I try to copy and paste it and the continue button is greyed out.

    Ok, that's enough fooling around. If you cannot install gmax there must be something wrong with your O/S or your machine. What Operating System are you running including update level. We've been assuming XP SP3 on a reasonable windows machine. What are the specifications of your computer? It must have a certain minimum configuration for this.


    Edit: Later.

    I had to reinstall gmax today and I was having your problem until I noticed that somehow my copy function picked up some leading spaces in the license code. The license code has NO SPACES before or after it, so if you get some, remove them. Worked for me today. I now have gmax up and running.
