Total noob question, but how the heck does one download this from Github? I get a lot of links, but not one of them is clearly a download link. IMHO, GitHub isn't for the casual user. :(
The link is a folder inside the repo, you have to go up one dir to get to the main github page: https://github.com/Antonioya/blender . There's a download zip button that includes archimesh.
Thanks for the reply Januz, but damned if I could find how to find that folder you mentioned, much less "go up one directory..."
So I did what usually works when confronted with an obscure/mystery interface: I clicked on something and then something else. Eventually I got the Zip file button on the right side. Beats me how I got to it, though.
*Sheesh*
Like I said, not casual user friendly. at. all. Now I know why I usually stay away from GitHub, it's obfuscation for the sake of unnecessary complication. At least that's what it seems like to me.
LOL I just went back and noticed the zips are right there in the article's link. Forget what I said :P
A very-very good news. I never imagine that Blender could be a complete CAD program. Thank you.
WOW! This is handy, dandy and I GOTTA HAVE IT! (Mad dash download)
I was able to download it, but I can't figure out how to install it.
Oh man!!! :D I'm in LOVE!!! :D This is phenomenal!!! :D Thanks sooo much :D
Great addon! Thanks a lot, Antonio!!!
