Installation

How to install VertiBevel

In LightWave 6.5:

  1. Move the VertiBevel.p file into your LightWave\Plugins\Model directory.
  2. Launch LightWave Modeler.
  3. Pull the Modeler menu (located at the left hand side of the Modeler interface) down and select Plug-ins|Add Plug-ins.
  4. Navigate to the LightWave\Plugins\Model directory if you are not already there.
  5. Select the VertiBevel_xxx_15.p file ("xxx" being either "int" or "mac") and click Open.
  6. Select, or create and select, a polygon in Modeler.
  7. Go to the Construct tab, Pull down the Additional menu (in the Utility section) and select VertiBevel.
  8. A dialog will pop up to give you a registration code, and asking you for a registration key.
  9. Copy and email the RegCode to jhurdlow@skstudios.com, and request a registration key.
  10. If you received a temporary or trial key, you can Copy and Paste, or type it in to the RegKey field at this time.  This will allow you to use VertiBevel until your permanent key arrives.
  11. When you receive the registration key in your email, open VertiBevel as before.  If you still have time remaining on your trial key you will need to select the Register option from the action menu (the one right next to the preset menu).  Copy and Paste the registration key from the return email into the RegKey field in the dialog and click OK.

 

If using LightWave 6.0:

Note: VertiBevel 1.5 is not officially supported under LightWave 6.0.  It is highly recommended that you take the opportunity to upgrade to LightWave 6.5 (a free upgrade).  However, if you have special reason to use LightWave 6.0, then this is how you install it:

  1. Move the VertiBevel.p file into your LightWave\Plugins\Model directory.
  2. Launch LightWave Modeler.
  3. Select the Objects tab at the top of the Modeler interface.
  4. Pull the Preferences menu (located at the left hand side of the Modeler interface) down and select "Add Plug-ins...".
  5. Navigate to the LightWave\Plugins\Model directory if you are not already there.
  6. Select the VertiBevel_xxx_15.p file ("xxx" being either "int" or "mac") and click Open.
  7. Select, or create and select, a polygon in Modeler.
  8. While on the Objects tab, Pull down the Additional menu and select VertiBevel.
  9. A dialog will pop up to give you a registration code, and asking you for a registration key.
  10. Copy and email the code to jhurdlow@skstudios.com, and request a registration key.
  11. If you received a temporary or trial key, you can Copy and Paste, or type it in to the registration key field at this time.  This will allow you to use VertiBevel until your permanent key arrives.
  12. When you receive the registration key in your email, open VertiBevel as before.  If you still have time remaining on your trial key you will need to click the Register button at the bottom of the VB interface.  Copy and Paste the registration key from the return email into the appropriate field in the dialog and click OK.

If using LightWave 5.0/5.5/5.6:

You will need to obtain VB version 1.0 to use VertiBevel under Pre-6.0 versions of Lightwave.  Licensed 1.5 users can obtain a copy of 1.0 with documentation by request from jhurdlow@skstudios.com.  This is only available for Intel and Alpha platforms.
