Info

The file name of the installer contains the version number of the plugin. Please use always the latest available version.

Warning

In the previous versions of the plugin, it was OK to just copy the plugin files into the ARCHICAD Add-Ons folder.

The new installer works differently. It copies the files into an arbitrary folder a Maxwell for ARCHICAD folder by default (it can copy into Add-Ons folder too, but we recommend to choose different folder), and in the last step the user has to make ARCHICAD (via Add-In Manager) to register the plugin files.

In case you still have older plugin files inside the ARCHICAD Add-Ons folder, please remove them!

...

To register the plugin files please following follow these steps:

  1. Start ARCHICAD

  2. From the Options menu select Add-On Manager....

  3. Inside Add-On Manager click on the button Search for more Add-Ons....

  4. Navigate to the installed plugin folder (Maxwell for ARCHICAD) and select the files Maxwell_AC21.gmx and MaxwellController_AC21.apx (on Windows) or the Maxwell_AC21 and MaxwellController_AC21 bundles (on OSX). The number at the end depends on the version of ARCHICAD you are using.

  5. Click OK to accept these add-on files.
