<p>I have been asked by an ME/AE firm to check out IES-VE Energy. This
firm makes extensive use of the Revit programs for design.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I downloaded the trial version of '<strong><span style='font-family:
"Calibri","sans-serif"'>IES-VE-Ware/Toolkits 5.9 Setup'</span></strong><span
style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'> and tried to run/install it and I
got the following message: "<em><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>You
require an installation of Google Stetchup 6, etc., to install VE-Ware</span></em>"<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:10.0pt'>I downloaded <strong>'</strong><strong><span
style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>IES<VE>5.9 SketchUp Plug-in
Setup'</span></strong><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>
and tried to install this and got the following message: "<em><span
style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>You must have a copy of
IES<Virtual Environment>5.9 installed before attempting to install this
plug-in</span></em>"</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:10.0pt'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>I am interested in trying out IES-VE Energy
component only. Is there a trial version for this? Is there a
tutorial that I can refer to when trying to learn how to use this program?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:10.0pt'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>The IES-VE website shows 2 engineering
clients - Syska Hennessy and Vanderweil Engineering. How many building
