Note
In the past, the Standalone and Render Suite plugins were built and distributed separately. This is no longer the case, with the
determination of which mode to use being made based on the type of license found on the machine. For more information,
please see the Licensing topic below.
Installation
1. Unzip the downloaded zip fle to your Desktop.
2. Double-click to run Maxwell_for_SketchUp-3.0.11.app.
3. Choose the desired SketchUp versions and click Install.
If any error occurs, please note the error message and take appropriate action (for example, fles could fail to be copied if they
are currently in use). If installing over an older installation, it may help to use the Uninstall button to remove that installation frst.
If not, please see the Manual Installation section below.
Uninstallation
1 Double-click to run Maxwell_for_SketchUp-3.0.11.app.
2. Choose the desired SketchUp versions and click Uninstall.
Licensing
Depending on the license detected at runtime, the plugin will run in Unlicensed, Standalone, Demo
There is therefore no need to uninstall and reinstall the plugin when upgrading, though it is necessary to restart SketchUp, in the
case that a new license is activated during a SketchUp session, in order to allow the plugin to detect the newly-activated license,
and adjust its user-interface accordingly.
To license an unlicensed plugin, click License Activator item in the Plugins > Maxwell menu; this will launch the Maxwell
License Activator application. If the license activator does not start, it may be due to security features in Mac OSX. To address
this, either temporarily set System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Allow applications downloaded from
or run LicenseActivator.app directly from Finder by right-clicking and choosing Open from the context menu.
LicenseActivator.app may be found in the SketchUp Plugins folder, under maxwell/lic/osx. See the Manual Installation topic
below for instructions on how to locate the SketchUp Plugins folder.
Manual Installation
If for any reason the installer is unable to successfully complete the installation, it is possible to perform a manual installation,
using fles contained within the installer app bundle itself. To access the fles, right-click the installer app and choose
