landmarker "LIGHT": Download and Installation

Download: landmarker2.0.8.zip  for Windows (7, Vista, XP or 2000).


Installation procedure: Follow steps 1 to 6 carefully (probably you can skip step 3).

1) Unzip landmarker2.0.8.zip e.g. in  c:\ on your computer, creating a directory named c:\landmarker2.0.8

The directory contains several files, including landmarker.exe, determine_user_home.exe and a subdirectory named landmarker_preferences.

(In addition there are some example data files; e.g. tron.stl.)

2) Copy the subdirectory named landmarker_preferences and its contents to your user home directory.

 

(If you already have a previous version of landmarker on your computer, then be sure to take a backup of landmarker_preferences.tcl in case you have any personal settings there.)

(Under Windows XP, the user home directory is usually c:\Documents and Settings\Username\ where Username is your login name. Possible exceptions are if you are on a networked computer and your home directory is on a remote disk. You may determine the name of your user home directory by running the program determine_user_home.exe (by double-clicking on it's icon).

(Under Windows Vista, the user home directory is usually c:\Users\Username\ where Username is your login name. You may execute the program determine_user_home.exe to determine your home directory if you are in doubt.)

3) If you decided to put the landmarker2.0.8 directory (from item 1 above) in another directory than c:\  then you need to make a change in the file named landmarker_preferences.tcl in the landmarker_preferences directory. Otherwise: go to 4) below.

Open the file landmarker_preferences.tcl in a text editor (e.g. WodPad or NotePad: you find them under "All Programs->Accessories on your Computer).  Locate the line with the following statement:

if {$platform == "windows"} {set landmarker_home "C:/landmarker2.0.8/"}

and change it to

if {$platform == "windows"} {set landmarker_home "F:/myprograms/landmarker2.0.8/"}

assuming that you have put landmarker2.0.8 in F:\myprograms\ (note that you need to use forward slashes in the directory name).

 

4) Create a shortcut to the file named landmarker.exe and place the shortcut on your desktop.

(Right-click the landmarker.exe icon and select "Create shortcut".  Drag and drop the shortcut (Shortcut to landmarker.exe) onto your desktop.)

5) Execute landmarker.exe

(Double-click the Shortcut to landmarker.exe icon on your desktop.)

6) Test it: Load a surface file (Load(New)->Surface File), e.g.  tron.stl.
