Step 2: 

Install...

Once downloaded select the option to ‘Open’ or run the file (if this option is not presented simply run the executable from the temporary location you chose). 

Follow the typical installation dialogs through to the finish. A shortcut to the Tas Manager should have appeared on the desktop.

 

Step 3: 

Register...

Double click the shortcut to start the Tas Manager. Click the ‘Register’ button to bring up the registration dialog.

Double click anywhere in the ID box to highlight the ID, then right click and select the ‘Copy’ option. Paste the ID into the Edit box on the Tas Demo Keys page.

Click here to go to the Demonstration Keys page and follow the on screen instructions.

Once this process has been completed an Email will be sent to you containing your 1st 4 week key. You will be able to return to the New Generation Keys page for one further 4 week key as part of this demo.

Once you have received the Email, paste the key into the key box of the register dialog and click OK.

The software is now ready to use.

 

Step 4: 

Getting Started...

Currently there is limited supporting documentation for each program. However, there is a detailed ‘Getting Started’ tutorial available by selecting Tas->Building Designer->Tutorials in the left pane of the Tas Manager and then double clicking the ‘Getting Started’ item in the right pane.

After studying the tutorial you can create a new project by selecting ‘Tas Data’ in the left pane of Tas Manager, then clicking the ‘Create Project’ button. Enter a name for the new project and click ‘OK’. Make this project the current project by first clicking on it, then right clicking and selecting ‘Set Current Directory…’. Next, to make a building in this project, click the ‘Create Building’ button. This will start the 3D Modeller and the steps of the tutorial can be followed. (Note: due to the behaviour of Windows 2000 and XP when you ‘Save As..’ or ‘Save’ your new file you may need to navigate to the current project as the default behaviour in these systems is to always remember the last location a file was saved by the current application).

Once a file has been created you can access it directly by selecting the project in the left pane of the Tas Manager and then double clicking the file in the right pane.

By default UK weather data is included with the Tas demo. Click here to download weather data for different regions.
