When the foundation segment lengths in a polyline stemwall foundation are too short this is what you get (notice the anchor bolt placement):

I'm working up some additional logic to properly deal with anchor bolt placement with short segment lengths.

Version 1.6.5 - 02.09.2021

Fixed a bug with anchor bolt placement for polyline stemwalls.
Added an option for a zero depth footing for polyline stemwalls, which eliminates the footing for this foundation type.

By setting the depth of the footing to zero you can eliminate the footing from a polyline stemwall, so only the stemwall portion of the foundation is drawn. This is per customer request.

Also the algorithm for anchor bolt placement for polyline stemwalls is greatly improved, however there can always be further improvements, any feedback is always appreciated.

Version 1.6.6 - 02.12.2021

Added logic to the final assembly routine to allow for electrical components (Medeek Electrical) to be retained within all foundation assemblies.

Version 1.6.9 - 03.25.2021

Fixed a bug with footing offsets when a (polyline) stemwall terminates non-orthogonally.

First look at a hole cut using the new SUBTRACT keyword system:

Now I just need to set this up for the other various foundation types (ie. stemwall, stemwall steps, strip footings etc...)

Version 1.7.0 - 05.09.2021

Added an option for subtractive geometry into the General tab of the Global Settings.
Sub-groups within foundations and footings can be made persistent and "subtractive" by naming these groups to (subtract1, subtract2, subtract3, etc...)

Interestingly the code to make this happen was staring me in the face for months. I essentially took the "roof connections" complex roof module, changed up the logic slightly, simplified it, and arrived at this new feature/ability.

Notice that the subtractive groups cut through the rebar as well as the concrete. Certain other elements such as anchor bolts (groups within groups) are not removed. I may need to give this some additional consideration.

I guess we need to make this new feature available with the Truss plugin as well now.

Version 1.7.0b - 05.09.2021

Components within foundations can also be made persistent and "subtractive" by naming the component instance to (subtract1, subtract2, subtract3, etc...)

Version 1.7.1 - 05.20.2021

Fixed a bug with subbase and slab insulation options for slab-on-grade foundations.

Version 1.7.2 - 06.03.2021

Added four additional parameters to the "User Interface" section of the General tab of the global settings. This allows the customization (colors) of the HTML menus and buttons.

medeek · 13 Jun 2021, 01:53

Version 1.7.3 - 06.12.2021

Added a "Regen" context menu item for the following foundation assemblies: Polyline Stemwall, Strip Footing, Interior Bearing.

Version 1.7.4 - 07.10.2021
