[SOLVED] Forbidden, 403 Error when Importing terrain (Premium add-on)

[MaxLenormand]

Hi there,

Really cool add-on, though I'm faililng to import terrain and not quite sure why.

All I'm getting is a 403 Error when hitting osm -> Terrain - import as shown here:

For context I'm running Blender 3.4.1 on Macos 13.2.1 on a M1 Pro Macbook Pro

Here's my add-on setup (I'm using the premium version):

I am able to get imagery & building from OSM

Any help would be helpful, thanks! I have the know-how to get elevation data myself but this add-on would make it a lot easier to get fetch it quickly, hope I can get to the bottom of this!

Cheers

Just started experiencing the same issue today. I am on the free version though.

[jcav258]

I am seeing the same issue as of today. Importing terrain from most areas throws back a Forbidden error (e.g., Laramie, WY) however some locations still import fine (e.g., Virginia Tech). Hoping this can be resolved. Thanks!

Same problem here (Free Version)

It looks like the tile repository is returning that error: Example request for: http://s3.amazonaws.com/elevation-tiles-prod/skadi/N01/N01E103.hgt.gz

Same error here trying to export European tiles on the premium version. @vvoovv any hint on what's happening?

Thanks

[DesertViber]

Having the exact same issue using Premium version.

[vvoovv]

I'll examining the issue right now.

[vvoovv]

http://s3.amazonaws.com/elevation-tiles-prod/skadi/N01/N01E103.hgt.gz

I think have found the cause of the problem.

The link should start from https (with s at the end): https://s3.amazonaws.com/elevation-tiles-prod/skadi/N01/N01E103.hgt.gz

I hope to provide the fix today.

[vvoovv]

The fix for the base version can be already downloaded on Gumroad: https://prochitecture.gumroad.com/l/blender-osm

The fix for the premium version will follow.

[DesertViber]

Awesome! Thanks so much. Love the program BTW.V/R,Mark Spence+1-928-373-8636 (US)On May 22, 2023, at 5:35 AM, vvoovv @.***> wrote:

Hi, I have tried to download again the add-on right now, but still not working, same error 403.

[vvoovv]

Hi, I have tried to download again the add-on right now, but still not working, same error 403.

What is the version of the addon?

[vvoovv]

I uploaded the fixes on Gumroad.

The base version: https://prochitecture.gumroad.com/l/blender-osm

The premium version: https://prochitecture.gumroad.com/l/blosm

Please provide feedback if it's working now.

[Hansel8900]

Hi, I have tried to download again the add-on right now, but still not working, same error 403.

What is the version of the addon?

version 2.6.6

[vvoovv]

@Hansel8900 Could you please show a screenshot of the System Console in Blender after you tried to import the terrain: On Windows: Main Menu -> Window -> Toggle System Console.

[vvoovv]

@Hansel8900 Can you download the file after clicking on the link https://s3.amazonaws.com/elevation-tiles-prod/skadi/N01/N01E103.hgt.gz ?

[Hansel8900]

Ok, I have actually removed and re-added the add-on and now it works! Thanks :)

[MattPaquito]

I am using the premium version, I used the link received by email some time ago to re-download the package (expecting it will be updated). But I am still having the error :

Downloading the file from http://s3.amazonaws.com/elevation-tiles-prod/skadi/N40/N40W075.hgt.gz... Error: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden

If I click on the link, I get an access denied, if i modify it to https I can download it.

[MattPaquito]

UPDATE : I did a quick and dirty fix on my installation : I update the script 'app/blender.py' from the addon installation folder to replace http by https in the terrainUrl and it works now 👍

[DesertViber]

Question, How do I download it again without having to pay for the premium again?

When I paid for the subscription few years ago, I got an email with a link that let me download the package. I re-used the same link hoping that the package will be updated ... It will be weird to have to pay for a bug fix since I believe the premium was a life-time subscription.

[DesertViber]

Ok, I'll take a look. Yeah it would be weird

@MattPaquito

Please install the latest version (2.6.6) of the addon.

[MattPaquito]

@vvoovv - How do I access the latest version (2.6.6) of the addon ? Is it updated on the link I received some years ago (when I paid for the premium) ?

[vvoovv]

@DesertViber

You can always get the latest version of the addon using the download link in your purchase confirmation email.

[vvoovv]

@vvoovv - How do I access the latest version (2.6.6) of the addon ? Is it updated on the link I received some years ago (when I paid for the premium) ?

Yes, you can always get the latest version of the addon (currently 2.6.6) using the download link in your purchase confirmation email.

[DesertViber]

Working great my friend. Thank you so much for getting on this so quickly. Impressive.

[MattPaquito]

Solved on my side too ! Thanks @vvoovv

[subscribetosomething]

Still having this 403 issue with the free version. The latest version I'm able to download is 2.6.5 so I'm guessing perhaps free hasn't been updated yet.

[vvoovv]

@subscribetosomething

The version is Gumroad is 2.6.6. Just checked it again.

Please try removing all versions of the addon. Then restart Blender and install the latest version from Gumroad.

[subscribetosomething]

So strange. I am on Blender 3.5. Tried deleting the local files for all previous versions of Blender, removing the add on, restarting my PC then re-installing the add on.... Still the version showing is 2.6.5. Not sure what else I can do besides re-installing Blender.

Edit: I tried re-purchasing to generate a fresh view content link, and I checked the files inside the zip folder and they appear to be dated 3/1/2023 -- Perhaps Gumroad isn't directing me to the latest file?

[vvoovv]

@subscribetosomething

Let's try the following:

Get the latest zip-archive from https://prochitecture.gumroad.com/l/blosm (premium) or https://prochitecture.gumroad.com/l/blender-osm (base)

Get the file __init__.py out the archive. Check the version in the line 23 of that file. If it's 2.6.6, proceed to the installation.

[subscribetosomething]

Ok great, after downloading the file today it is now updated to 2.6.6 and works flawlessly. Not sure why it was giving me the older version yesterday. Just bought premium since you're so helpful and I use this add-on regularly. Thanks!

[vvoovv]

@subscribetosomething Thank you!

[nike-997]

Hi,

I had the same issue and I've installed the new 2.6.6 version but I'm now experiencing a different error:

The error occurs only in some zones, depending only on coordinates and not on the domain size I'm trying to export.

Any idea on possible solutions?

Thanks

[vvoovv]

Hi @nike-997

Please take look at #342

[nike-997]

Solved, thanks @vvoovv !

[jonahhawk]

I think this must be the case. I ended up editing the file and correcting the urls. It's easier than uninstall/reinstall and setup.

[ClickClocks]

Hi, Today I bought and install this software. When I select for example an area in France Around Mont Blanc Terrain is Fine but it I select somewhere in Peru or UK gives me the error 403. Please Advice I'm runnning: "version": (2, 7, 0) and Blender Version 3.5.1 on MacOS Monterrey

[vvoovv]

Hi @ClickClocks

What were you trying to import? If Google 3D Tiles, please take look at #356. If it was terrain, please attach the screenshot with the addon panel and the error.

i do suffer the same problem rn here's a screenshot on win 10, version 2.7, blender 3.6

[vvoovv]

@Marianomiomao

Will restarting Blender solve the problem?

Another thing to try: deactivate BlenderKit addon.

[Marianomiomao]

Marianomiomao

tried both. they do not seem to work

even different places do not seem to work in terrain mode

[vvoovv]

@Marianomiomao

Please show the output of Blender's System Console (Main Menu -> Window -> Toggle System Console) after you pressed the button "import" for the terrain. If you are on Mac or Linux, please start Blender from the command prompt.

everytime i click import it gives me this : Downloading the file from http://s3.amazonaws.com/elevation-tiles-prod/skadi/N36/N36W122.hgt.gz...

[vvoovv]

@Marianomiomao The cause of the problem is now clear to me. The URL for the terrain should start from https instead of http. Let's find out why it happens, since the addon with the version 2.7.0 and above requests the correct URL for the terrain.

Please type osm in the search box in the list of Blender addons in the Blender Preferences and show me the result of the search.

[ClickClocks]

I reinstall on my Laptop and everything is OK. Not sure how to fix it on my Main Computer

[vvoovv]

@ClickClocks

Could you please show me the console output on your main computer after you pressed the import button.

Also, please search for osm on your main computer as described in my previous message.

[elewa92]

Hello. I have that terrain issue when importing too the HTTP Error 403 : Forbidden i installed the latest version too and still having the same problem ( i was using the old version till last week and everything was Ok with terrain )
