Ah, this is very odd. I wonder if by some chance you are running Bryce 7 standard instead of Bryce 7 Pro. The IL is only fully functional in B7 pro, however the Lab probably can be entered even with the base version, just nothing inside of the IL would work. Make sure you are using a Pro serial number. Sounds silly, I know, but best to rule out the obvious. I’ve never seen this type of error before, so I feel confident we can overcome this.

I do hope you don’t feel your time is wasted too much. Once we get to the bottom of this the fun and joy will come back.

downloaded the free version today from daz3d where it says BRYCE 7 PRO and they praise the instance lab ... installed it on my new pc, where there was no other version of bryce so far (my paid version 7 is on my old pc)

bryce_7.1.0.109_win32 was the file i executed

aaaah! the problem has gone ....

i stored my old serial number at HELP - ENTER SERIAL, now i entered the number i got with the zip file and the brush editor works as it should be

sigh

I wonder if it could be a corrupt download? I am curious if you experience this same problem on your old PC as well? The programs both paid and free downloads are all the same, privilege level is determined solely by the serial number that is entered. When the Pro version is fully enabled all of the new lights are available. It is sometimes best to close then reopen Bryce right after installing the Pro serial number to fully unlock all of the Pro features.

If you are indeed certain the serial you are entering is Pro, then you should plug it into your old copy on the old pc to test if the IL fails on that system as well.


Edit!
Seems you figured it out just as I was about to send you through a few more hoops. Glad this is fixed up for you now. Fun fun!
