        i wasn't sure if that was a laminate or not but it's ok. in general, i see a lot of newer construction with the laminated i-beam for the headers (similar to floors and rafters) and a foam fill. i think the headers work as-is and folks can draw any details necessary to describe their preferred approach πŸ˜„ it would be really cool if you could "x" the ends of the lumber so a 2D / wireframe view can show it like a construction plan would...

          I considered that X as well, but not only at the ends but two faces all the way through studs, so that any stud in any location would show in sections as such. It would jump the polys up quite a bit but I don't think that would be a very big issue.

            Just posted an update to Face2Frame. Now does floors, faces on the XY plane, and adds "X"s to ends of studs, headers and/or joist.

            Nothing is worthless, it can always be used as a bad example.

                  You can 'metricate' it relatively easily...

                  @wall_type = "Ext" #unless @wall_type
                  @stud_size = "2X4" #unless @stud_size; 
                  @stud_space=16.inch #unless @stud_space
                  @header_size = "2X8" #unless @header_size
                  @corner_type = "A"
                  @thickness=0.0
                  

                  could become

                  @wall_type = "Ext" #unless @wall_type
                  @stud_size = "50mmX100mm" #unless @stud_size; 
                  @stud_space=400.mm #unless @stud_space
                  @header_size = "50mmX200mm" #unless @header_size
                  @corner_type = "A"
                  @thickness=0.mm
                  

                  Then in the html code... make similar edits so
                  <option value='2X2'>2x2</option>
                  ...
                  <option value='16\"' selected>16\"</option>
                  becomes
                  <option value='50mmX50mm'>50mmx50mm</option>
                  ...
                  <option value='400mm' selected>400mm</option>
                  and so on...
                  Now the cases for the stud sizes...
                  case @stud_size when "2X2" : dx = 1.500.inch; dy = 1.500.inch;
                  ...
                  becomes
                  case @stud_size when "50mmX50mm" ; dx = 38.mm; dy = 38.mm;
                  OR whatever...
                  Fix all 8 or so of those sizes...
                  unless @wall_type=="Int" || (@stud_size!="2X4" && @stud_size!="2X6") case @stud_size when "2X4" case @corner_type when "A" ; studs=self.A_2X4(xa,ya,p,v,dx,dy)
                  ...
                  Needs to be looked at...
                  unless @wall_type=="Int" || (@stud_size!="50mmX100mm" && @stud_size!="50mmX150mm") case @stud_size when "50mmX100mm" case @corner_type when "A" ; studs=self.A_50mmX100mm(xa,ya,p,v,dx,dy)
                  ...
                  Then rename the matching
                  def A_2X4(vx,vy,p,v,dx,dy)
                  as
                  def A_50mmX100mm(vx,vy,p,v,dx,dy)
                  etc
                  The parts like 1/2" plywood spacer need 0.5 replacing with 12.mm or whatever is the equivalent ?
                  Parts of the code like dx+0.01 which add a 1/100" spacing could be adjusted to 0.25.mm or some other small metric equivalent ?
                  As can [ruby:13xikt90]dx2-0.02[/ruby:13xikt90] to be [ruby:13xikt90]dx2-0.5.mm[/ruby:13xikt90]
                  It just a matter of steps through every line and deciding what is needed...

                                Hi Sam, I note above you said you haven't considered converting this plugin for metric use and TIG has outlined how to 'metricate' it. I'm a little unsure how this is done; Do I try and open the script and edit it? A little risky given I nothing about coding....

                                Cheers.

                                  You could try opening it in a texteditor. I use Notepad++.
                                  Set the language to Ruby and try to find the lines described by TIG.

                                    Better leave it to the "professionals". I'll take a look at it and PM you a copy to try.

                                          No it's not just you. SU2017 strikes again. I will try to fix the problem if I can.
