Objects Online

Red — Thu, 06 Nov 2003 22:38:18 GMT

I had a few things that I wanted to put on objects online. When I say this by no means am I downing the site I think it’s great! Is anyone out having good success after posting some objects? Was it worth the work?? And once again I think it's a great site.

I haven't posted any new objects since David Correia moved from CA to FL. But I have been consistently receiving royalty checks (with the exception of one outstanding invoice).

Depending on timing, he's been good at posting objects in a timely manner in the past.

Red, I would like to know more about it also.
so far that I know of is that they will deamnd 50% of the sales.

David, what is the sale figure like?

Put it this way... Don't quit your day job. After David's 50%commission, it takes a few sales to recoupe the time and effort put into a well-done (highly-parametric) GDL object. On the plus side, ObjectsOnline is a heavily visited site by ArchiCAD users looking for useful objects.

If you've got a useful or one-of-a-kind object - I say post it! And Good luck!

Since we're on the subject...

If there are any readers out there who have purchased any of the following objects from ObjectsOnline in the past or present:
"Steel Web Joist"
"Wall Panel"
"ArchiDetail-CMU"
"ArchiDetail-Brick"
I have updated, improved, and/or added functionality to these objects.

I will eventually send the updated objects to David at ObjectsOnline. But until then...Free upgrades (with proof of purchase) are available on my website at http://www.archisolutions.com/Store/GDL.htm click the "upgrades" button for details.

Yes, the objects are still compatible with ArchiCAD 6.5 and up. I will eventually update all of my objects to AC8.* to take advantage of all the new parametric enhancements - If I only didn't need sleep! .

I've got a couple of objects I've been trying to email to David at ObjectsOnline but I've not had any response for the last few months. I think this coincided with his move.

I may have to try phoning him at this rate. Which is a bit expensive from the UK

What is worrying is that my Bank account number has changed so if I have sold any objects he won't be able to send me the dosh.

Just had a rummage in my Profile at ObjectsOnline and found that I could update my account details myself.

All I need now is someway to send or upload my new objects

If you are outside the United States, beware of selling through Objects on line, you wont get the monthly cheques that David Larrew is getting. We really need a similar site working in the Eurozone. US checks are very expensive to convert in european banks and can take weeks to clear. You need them to mount up for a few months to make it worthwhile against the commission the UK bank deducts for accepting the cheque.

I get automated monthly statements , but getting cheques is quite another matter. And with Object prices so low, it takes months to build up a decent amount.

I am investigating PayPal to see if thats a better way to get paid. I dont trust Paypal, as it seems that theres too much chance of payments disappearing into Cyberspace (ie ending up with paypal not with me, which has happened with a recent payment), and also Paypal is the object of a spam attack at the moment where people are being asked to submit their details by email - these are spoofs.

Thanks for letting me know that. I thought the dosh was getting paid to my Visa account, not that I would receive cheques from David at ObjectsOnline. I must admit I have been guilty of not checking my Visa account statements to see if the money was getting credited there.

I better go and have rummage through my filing what joy

Resurrecting the topic to see if someone could help me get in touch with David Correia by email (a phone call from Brazil to US is more expensive than the objects I'm trying to sell...).
I could not get any response to messages recently sent to his email at objectsonline.com.
I'd appreciate if someone could inform me an alternative address. Please send private message or write to durval at dtabach.arq.br

I recently bought a boxed item from Objectsonline and had to contact them for some help. The person that helped out used this e-mail addy

terradeatobjectsonline.com

Just replace the at with the @ symbol to get the above address to work

Best of luck
