Impressive

Very impressive looking tool.
However: installation (MaxDesign 11, Windows7) installs the tool, but nothing seems to work. Starting with the simple FreeStair tool: can't create ANY stairs. System unit is Meter!! Installing classic theme under Windows7 is NOT an option; hopefully this is not why things go wrong.

When will there be an English manual?
Some tools still show strange characters, as if they are not translated. When will this be fixed?
Can the plugin be transfered (activated/de-activated) to another PC?

Waiting for a manual and a working version !!

just little input, if u want

just little input, if u want to sell your script or at least your script known (even you post it here), I recommend u using standard english lang in your script, so everybody can use or try it. Not everybody here can read chinese word ,but at least chinese man here can understand simple english, if you already using 3dsmax , not try to be rude tho.

Thanks

install problem

Install is not working, I can press the install button, nothing seems to happen, and no "TheAxeTools" in the customize list.
Otherwise it looks very promising.. :)
