                                  I did not update the legacy stemwall tool since I will be retiring that tool eventually but I have not decided on a date just yet.

                                    The density of the concrete, CMU and steel can all be customized in the global settings as shown in the image above. I will probably enable this feature for other foundation assemblies if it is requested.

                                      very useful. for my purposes, since most recording studio isolation is mass, i have my spreadsheet to calculate the walls, floor, and ceiling structure. this includes framing, sheath layers, insulation, and for my estimation electrical, plumbing, ducts, windows, doors, and absorption assemblies. i think the former layers in the floor, wall and perhaps truss would also be helpful (i use trusses to suspend interior ceilings on load bearing walls when i have long spans where a simple joist won't handle it, like a live room)

                                        For this detailed breakdown you need to have the "separate callouts" and "weight callouts" both enabled.
