Hi,

I installed your software and I wanted to try to test with your file "input_dss.txt" but it doesn't work.
I had this error message:

Could you help me?

Thank you so much,

Nour,

Sorry for the late reply. I just found out about your post today as I wasn't subscribed to this support board (which I am now). The error message you're seeing is the underlying program's command line help message, repeated a few times, which you should theoretically never get to. Obviously something is wrong but it's unclear to me how this Skyline plug-in would get to this state of returning the messages you see.

I tried reproducing the problem here with the file you uploaded and everything ran as expected. Can you try running this on another installation of Skyline, say on a different computer? I don't know what the problem might be but it would be helpful to know if this is a consistent problem for you across multiple machines. This will help determine whether it's a general tool issue or an issue specific to your current installation. For what it's worth, I just asked another user here to install the cross-link transition calculator plug-in and run it with the input_dss.txt file that you attached and it ran fine in that installation also.
