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

                https://aws1.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/f/c/fcfa3a82d747e94b0e665eed71592e96d3eaa409.jpeg

                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.

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

                                      I've been thinking about adding in a Door and Window module to the polyline stemwalls. However, I'm not very familiar with what is common practice as far window and door bucks go.

                                      Any feedback or drawings/details would be greatly appreciated.

                                        Now that I'm on the subject of windows it may also be useful to add in some sort of window well feature:

                                            Version 1.7.9 - 12.24.2021

                                            • Fixed a bug in the slab tool when layers/tags is disabled in the global settings.

                                            I apologize that I did not notice this bug when I added interior footings to the slab module. Typically I enable layers/tags so it managed to sneak past me.
