SivaTools — ZIP installation package
====================================

Automatic plaster generation, take-off and dimensioning for Autodesk Revit.


INSTALL (2 minutes)
-------------------

1. CLOSE Revit.
2. Extract this ZIP into a folder — ALL of it.
   (Running it from inside Windows' archive preview is NOT enough.)
3. Double-click "INSTALL.bat".
4. When it finishes, open Revit.

A "Siva" tab appears in the ribbon.

No administrator rights are needed: the add-in is installed for your Windows
account only. The installer speaks Turkish, English or Spanish, following your
Windows display language.


LICENSE AGREEMENT
-----------------

Continuing the installation means you accept the agreement. The text is at:

    belgeler\LICENSE-EN.txt


ACTIVATE YOUR LICENSE
---------------------

1. Siva tab → License button.
2. Paste the key from your purchase email.
3. Activate.

One key covers up to 2 devices, and after activation SivaTools keeps working
for 7 days without an internet connection.


UNINSTALL
---------

Double-click "UNINSTALL.bat". Your license and settings are kept.


COMING FROM THE OLD .EXE INSTALLER?
-----------------------------------

Uninstall it first: Settings → Apps → Installed apps → SivaTools → Uninstall.
With both in place Revit loads the add-in twice and two "Siva" tabs appear in
the ribbon. INSTALL.bat checks for this and stops rather than making that mess.
Your license survives the uninstall.


WHY A ZIP AND NOT AN .EXE?
--------------------------

Windows Defender's machine-learning classifier can flag a newly published
installer .exe that carries no code-signing certificate as "Wacatac", without
regard to what is inside it. That is a FALSE POSITIVE: the very same files,
shipped in this ZIP, pass a Defender scan cleanly.

The one-click .exe installer returns once our code-signing certificate is in
place. Until then this package is entirely safe and installs the same files.

To confirm nothing was altered in transit, compare the SHA-256 printed on the
download page with:

    certutil -hashfile SivaTools-<version>.zip SHA256
