        To better reflect the distinction between a plugin and extension I will be re-branding the plugin and renaming it to just "Medeek Wall".

        From here on out I will also be referring to it as an extension.

        The entire collection of plugins will be re-branded as:

        Medeek Architect - A SketchUp Extension Library

          There may be an issue with calling the collection of plugins Medeek Architect because of the reserved status of the word architect and architecture. I'm not even sure who to contact in regard to this matter to check on any legal difficulties, but I will do some more research tomorrow.

          Other ideas for names include:

          Medeek Construction
          Medeek Home
          Medeek Arch
          Medeek Designer
          Medeek SU
          Medeek Build

          I kind of like the ring of Medeek Architect, but I don't know if it will fly.

            There's "Chief Architect" --don't know if there's a licensed individual involved. Not the same as if you were trying to sell services as an architect but some people do get litigious and states do have widely encompassing protections on the word.

                      I would put a request in for all the Simpson Outdoor Accent Connectors as well as the CPTZ Concealed Post tie. I've modeled some of these for one project but it would be great if they were incorporated into your extension (almost called it a plugin πŸ˜„ ).

                        I was going to add the post feature to the foundation ext. but I think I will add it to the wall ext.

                        To this feature I will then add the ability to include post bases and caps. Then I will add in all of various Simpson hardware for free standing posts.

                          • Added the Prairie Grille for picture windows.

                            Trying to get to the big stuff but ended up working on some fires and adding some window grilles per customer requests.

                            The following grille options now available will be:

                            • None
                            • Standard
                            • Prairie
                            • Perimeter
                            • Short Fractional
                            • Farmhouse

                            3D Warehouse is a website of searchable, pre-made 3D models that works seamlessly with SketchUp.

                            Now that I've spent some time organizing the window module better adding various grille configurations is a breeze. If you need others added just let me know.

                              Version 0.8.5b - 07.12.2018

                              • Added the following Grille Types for all windows: Prairie, Perimeter, Short Fractional, Farmhouse, Grid2x2, Grid2x3, Grid3x2, Grid3x3.

                              http://design.medeek.com/resources/images/wall_su151_800.jpg

                              A Grid3x2 would be three columns and two rows (6 lite).

                              There are now 10 variants available for window grilles. One of these days I might consider adding in the Diamond and Queen Anne patterns but right now I'm "grille fatigued". On to bigger and better things.

                                Beyond the trim and grilles the only exterior window treatment I am missing is shutters:

                                http://design.medeek.com/resources/images/wall_su152_800.jpg

                                I will need to add in another set of parameters for shutters and associated menus.

                                The parameters will be:

                                Shutter Geometry: Single or Double
                                Shutter Style: Louver, Raised Panel, Flat Panel, Board & Batten
                                Shutter Material
                                Shutter Thickness

                                By default they will be half the width of the window opening and their height will be the same as the window opening. The shutter(s) will be offset 2" from the edge of the window to simulate the space taken up by hinges. I will not be showing hinges or any other hardware so as to keep the poly count reasonable.

                                The poly count on the various styles should not be too much of a problem except for the louvered style. Not sure how to model this variant without adding a lot geometry which is going to make the model heavy.

                                  Available shutter styles are:

                                  • Solid
                                  • Raised Panel
                                  • Flat Panel
                                  • Louver

                                  I have not yet enabled shutters for arched windows, that will be next.

                                  I also need to add in a board & batten shutter which is also quite popular.

                                  Also note that you can position the shutters on either side of the window (left or right, single shutter) or the more common double shutter configuration as shown.

                                        Arched window with flat panel shutters:

                                        These arched shutters are proving to be a bit more challenging. I will need to figure out a new algorithm for board and batten shutters and louver shutters.

                                          Arched window with flat panel shutters:

                                          These arched shutters are proving to be a bit more challenging. I will need to figure out a new algorithm for board and batten shutters and louver shutters.

                                          No kidding. I can't even imagine!

                                            I think I've finally been bested by the complicated geometry and the limitations of SketchUp or perhaps my ability to model within SketchUp.

                                            Notice the raised panel shutters for an arched windows shown below:

                                            To create the raised panel effect I will draw the three outlines and then use the transform_entities method to move the edges into the plane. The problem is when I try this with a curved outline(s) as shown SketchUp does not know how to handle the curved planes/surfaces being created.
