We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Many thanks for the reply. I tried this directory as well, and it didn't work. I put an original DLL, e.g., stepindex.dll (downloaded from this webpage), in the following directory, and it worked. However, if I rebuild it by myself via the files available on that webpage, i.e., "stepindex.h" and "stepindex.cpp", it wouldn't work.

The directory: C:\Program Files\Lumerical\v232\bin\plugins\materials

I guess the issue is related to the DLL generation process, for which I used Visual Studio 2022. Do I need an additional or specific setting for the DLL building (compiling)?
