      For the callout and 2D symbol I'm not really sure what I should use, for now I'm showing the device part number and a simple rectangle.  Any thoughts or suggestions in this regard will be appreciated.

                Version 1.4.9 - 02.11.2025

                • Added three generic hvac condensor units/sizes into the built-in library (with WeatherGuardTM tops): 30X28_WG, 30x32_WG, 30x40_WG.

                elec_su260_800.jpg

                These additional variants added per customer request. They are the exact same as the similar sized units other than the addition of the weather guard top. Hopefully this gives enough selection for typical residential AC units however if there is need for any other styles etc... please let me know.

                  Version 1.5.0 - 02.16.2025

                  • Added two generic side discharge hvac/heat pump condensor units into the built-in library: HP_XV19_42, HP_XV19_36.
                  • Added various "Wilkerson Art" framed art prints within the "art" category under misc. fixtures: Wasco, Frog, Hummingbird, Eagle under Sun, Killer Whale, Abstract and Medeek (Grizzly Bear).

                  The funny thing is that I added the hummingbird framed art back in June (2024) as an Easter Egg but I guess no one noticed, or at least no one ever messaged me about it so I guess it went undetected. I've also added in a decent wall clock as well for those needing a wall clock mounted in a room.

                  Decided to take a much needed break from the code today and did some other misc. tasks. This one just kind of popped up on my radar so I figured I would add a few more framed prints.

                  As far as using the artwork in any of your projects, so long as you hold a licensed copy of the Medeek Electrical plugin you are authorized to use my artwork in any personal or professional projects you see fit. My only request is that if you do decide to use the artwork, please give attribution where possible and applicable.

                            I’m thinking about adding in a tool so that one can assign labels within a load center as well as configure the circuit breakers. Thoughts on this?

                              so, on the white "paper" space you would have a list (slots) for entering text "kitchen light", "kitchen outlet", "garage door", "clothes washer", "clothes dryer" etc and add some parameters like voltage, amperage, single, dual, etc?

                              "clothes dryer", 240V, 30A, SINGLE -> voltage logic would span a 240V across both busses?
                              "air conditioner", 240V, 50A, DUAL -> would have two 240V splitting 25A across each for the air handler and compressor?
                              "kitchen lights", 120V, 20A, DUAL -> split two 10A circuits on single breaker (dual switches) for overhead and under counter lights to save breaker slots
                              etc
