Easy setup instructions
----------------------------------
I. version
1. Rez the elevator and move into its starting position.
2. Touch it then select RECORD.
3. For every level (including the 'Lobby' level) move the elevator by hand and touch/select SETPOINT. Use SNAP option to snap to whole Z coordinates.
4. When you are finished, touch/select FINALIZE, then touch/select START.
II. version
This version is best suited for identical levels. (Like if you have 5 stories, having 6 metres of distance between each of them.)
1. Create a notecard, name it _config. (There is an underscore in front of the word config...)
2. For every level, enter its coordinates in a vector format. Make sure the X, Y coordinates are the same for every levels.
Example for 3 levels (including lobby):
<100,55,120>
<100,55,126>
<100,55,132>
Save the notecard into your inventory.
3. Rez the elevator, touch/select DELETE. The elevator will get rid of its own current _config card. Now, holding CTRL, drag and drop your _config card (from your inventory) onto the elevator.
4. Touch/select USENC to turn notecard usage ON, then touch/select START.
Calling buttons
----------------------
For every elevator you can only have ONE calling button/object PER level.
1. Rez the calling button. Move it next to the elevator OR move it to a location that is close to your level coordinates.
2. Repeat it for every levels.
3. Touch the button to test if the elevator comes when it is called. If it doesn't come, move the calling button object closer to the XYZ coordinates of that given level.

great looking elevator, but people fall through
Installed per the instructions, the car stops at each floor perfectly, but the door animation closes, then the elevator sits there for a while before it jumps to the desired floor leaving the passengers behind. The aesthetics of the build are top notch even the one with the metal sides that are a battle damaged breastplate texture. The function however is disappointing. If it worked properly I would give it a 5 star rating without second thought.
A great product; very poor installation and programming instructions
What can I say? The product is beautiful, very true to elevators of the period (............... though I wonder why the vintage elevator cage which can be seen at the in-world store is not in the package..................hmmmm...????) After reading the "instructions" and knocking my head against the wall for 90 minutes, I contacted someone who had given it a good review and asked for her help. Indeed, my elevator was up and running beautifully in 10 minutes. I would STRONGLY encourage Miss Dibou to engage a top notch technical writer to review all of her instructions and programming notes. It would make a huge difference in the overall quality of the product, and would immediately eliminate the poor reviews here. With better instructions I would have given it 5 stars. :)
