    After watching Tony's video I realized we probably need a couple additional advanced options for floors/decks with deck boards enabled. The two that immediately jump out at me are:

    1.) Trim Band or Picture Frame

    2.) Deck Wrap

    Both of these can easily be achieved since they are very similar to my existing rim board code.

    In fact, I can even enable a remove option for each of these modules similar to the rim board module. The parameters shall be:

    1.) Trim Band: Yes/No
    2.) Trim Width
    Trim Thickness: Typically one would set this to the same thickness as the deck boards but I better provide this just in case.
    3.) Trim Overhang
    4.) Trim Corners: Lap, Reverse Lap, Miter
    5.) Trim Material
    6.) Remove Trim: Empty by Default

    1.) Deck Wrap: Yes, No
    2.) Wrap Depth
    3.) Wrap Thickness
    4.) Wrap Corners: Lap, Reverse Lap, Miter
    5.) Wrap Material
    6.) Remove Wrap: Empty by Default

      Note that these two feature can only be used when the deck board option is turned on.

              Version 0.9.9i - 10.22.2024

              • Added the following layers/tags to the global settings and deck module.

              floor_su190_800.jpg

              Two different floor assemblies adjacent and forming one deck. Where they contact I've removed the overhangs, wrap and trim (on one assembly) using the new features recently added. Maybe there is enough functionality now to actually create some real decks.

                      Version 0.9.9m - 10.31.2024

                      • Added a "Wall" draw mode to the floor covering draw tool.
                      • Enabled "Perimeter Options" within the edit menu of the floor covering tool.

                      floor_su196_800.jpg

                      When drawing floor coverings you can now toggle between polyline, face or wall mode. Wall mode will allow you to select any number of Medeek walls (in logical order) which will define the boundary or perimeter of the floor covering. At first I was going to make this a fire-and-forget type of draw mode but instead it makes sense to retain the association even after the initial floor covering is created.

                      If any of the walls are deleted or somehow the "link" is broken the floor covering assembly will resort back to its "point" mode and the save points generated by the walls. So it will or should fail gracefully in these cases. Also note that there is a wall side associated with each wall assembly, this can easily be changed from EXT to INT or vice versa as needed.

                      I will make a new tutorial video showing this increased functionality and it should further help explain how this new system works and how to use it. I've been testing this feature for almost five days now so I think it is fairly robust but I am sure there may be specific cases that may defeat my algorithms. Bottom line, this is brand new so proceed with some caution.

                            Version 0.9.9o - 11.07.2024

                            • Added a Material X-Offset parameter for the floor covering material.
                            • Added a Material Y-Offset parameter for the floor covering material.
                            • Added a Material Rotation parameter for the floor covering material.

                            I will probably add in the same offsets and rotation parameters for the underlayment as well, but I will hold off for now until it is requested. I really want to get back onto the floor opening tool.

                              I apologize I got so interested and focused on the wall draw mode for floors that I completely forgot about the updates I made to allow for drawing floor coverings on slab etc... I will drop those updates into the very next release which will probably be this weekend.

                                  Version 0.9.9q - 11.10.2024

                                  • Added a perimeter offset parameter within the edit menu for floors drawn in "Wall" mode.
                                  • Added two "Wall Mode Options" to the Floors tab of the global settings: Perimeter Offset and Move Walls.
                                  • Connected the "Move Floor Edge" tool to the Medeek Wall API so that moving floor edges (Wall Mode Only) can also move walls.
                                  • Updated the Draw Flooring tool so that floor coverings can be applied to slabs, slab-on-grade foundations and floor trusses.

                                      The TRIFORCE® open joist is a state-of-the-art product in the forefront of the construction industry.

                                      There has been some call for this product line so I am working on the algorithms so that it can be configured properly. It is a bit more complicated due to the directional nature of its trimming panel (only one end can be trimmed).

                                        yes! i have some custom DC to mimic this but it's flakey and i haven't revisted it, so have this "built-in" will be a nice feature.
