hi karl, thank you for this update - very appreciated! is it 2018 compatible? i will for sure send you a donation if i will ever use it for a commercial project!

Hi Markus,

yes, all scripts running well on 2018. The issues on some scripts in the older Version were fixed. The things which made Problems (boolean and axisdrill/soliddrill) were fixed from the LW gods too in the 2018.0.2 release. 2018 is one of the reasons why I did work on every script. The not so lucky choose of the dark Default Surface material with this megabrillant reflection did inspire me to implement the part on the preferences tab on every part of the bündle. You will even notice, that the geometry creating scripts are ca 60KB smaller each. This is because many of the work is now in the nuSoftLib and not in every script embeded.

Thanks a lot for sharing these scripts. As said 3dworks, be sure I will send you a donation if any of these will ever be used in one of my projects.

I am very interested in this, and sadly, this is the first time that I paid attention in the forum to this posting.
I am always happy to donate to Open Source development, when I find something useful. This qualifies, however, I did some research and can't find your website or how to donate. It should be included in the bottom of your postings, this may account for the lack of feedback/donations.
Besides that, I got a little bit confused on the installation, got everything in folders, but could not locate the . . . went back in, Scanned the Plugins, then added them all to a Menu. Now I see the Preferences that you were referencing.
So, where to I put my money, because this was a lot of valuable work. I will try to say something else, after I play around with it.

Hi paulhart,

you are right, the Installation is a bit confusing. I will try to Change this in the future. I think about a small piece of Software for this Job.

If you want to donate, so please do this via PayPal to [email protected]
You can click on one of the 2 logos in any of the geometry generating scripts requester, there you will find this Information too.

On my Website you do not find any Information about These scripts. This will maybe Change in the future. The web can be found at www.nusoft.de but as sayed, there is no Information about nuArchitect and the website is in german language.
