I am trying to understand how the Mac .plist file works. Is it similar to the registry? I have a client that is having some trouble with registering (inputting their serial into the global settings) and having their system save the serial number.
Unfortunately, I don't own a Mac so I am not much help. Does anyone use the plugin on a Mac and have had similar problems with saving the serial number? Where does one go to manually edit the .plist file and enter in the serial number manually.

not only that
i had the same questions
so i bought a mac: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_Mini
sheap, you can use windows mouse, keyboard and screen
there are a few things to modify in the ruby code por windows, to make it work on a mac -
I am working on adding the heel blocking since it is an option listed in the advanced options.
So far there has not been much call for this feature but a few people have inquired so I figured we might as well add it in for completeness. The red coloration is for clarity in the image above.
I will probably add the option to allow for venting holes since this is fairly typical in my neck of the woods.

Very important. Sometimes the heel blocking, when taller, is a truss manufactured square that might have sheathing.

I agree, I was investigating this a while back but I'm not sure yet what is standard practice, there could be a number of ways of handling this.
-
Those look nice. I think sometimes the truss blocking has a diagonal which would make it effective (but the engineer will want plywood on it anyway it seems). You can have the truss all the way to the top or the method you show allows (1) continuous plywood gets nailed to the top of the truss block and the solid block provides the shear nailing (2) sometimes decorative rafter tails are added which need to pass through the space above the truss block.

King Post
Queen Post
Fink
Howe
Fan
Mod Queen
Double Fink
Double Howe
Mod Fan
Triple Fink
Quad FinkOut-to-Out Span = Portée Hors tout
Top Chord Angle = Angle de Corde Supérieure (?)
Overhang Left = Porte-à-faux Gauche
Overhang Right (Same as Left) = Porte-à-faux Droit (Identique au Gauche)
TC Size = Taille TC (? à définir)
BC Size = Taille BC (? à définir)
Web Size = Taille (?)
Ply Thickness = Epaisseur du Pli
Raised Heel (No, Yes) =Talon surélevé (?) ( (Non, Oui)
Heel Heigh = Hauteur du Talon (?)Bldg.lenght = Longueur Bâtiment
Truss Spacing = Espacement de Ferme
Gable End Trusses (Yes, No, Front) = Poutrelles d'extrémité (Oui, Non, Face Avant)
Gable Stud Spacing = Espacement Goujons de Pignon (?)
Adv. Roof Options (Yes, No) = Options Avancées de Toit (Oui, Non)PS
Does the Messages' window data is self-adapting to the length of words ? -
Thank-you Pilou, I will add these phrases into the language file.
Yes, the SU menu automatically adjust for the length of the words so even though French is often more verbose than English it does not matter. I've noticed though that Russian has some problems rendering in the SU menus.
I would have liked to see the video dive into the advanced menus more but I realize there is far too much material to cover in such a short video.

Excellent!
What is BC and TC size ?
Minor Roof Family = Famille de Toit Secondaire
Gable Dormer = Lucarne de Pignon
Hit Dormer = Lucarne de Toit
Shed Dormer = Lucarne de Hangar
Gable Roof Minor = Pignon de Toit Secondaire (?)
Hip Roof Minor = Lucarne de Toit Secondaire (?)
Dutch Gable Roof Minor = Pignon de Toit Hollandais Secondaire (?)The (?) does not signify that is forcefully false but can maybe be enhanced!
Else works fine!

BC = Bottom Chord
TC = Top Chord
Web = Internal (web) members of truss -
Thx for the Infos!

The license registration module was causing some problems in isolated cases so I've released a sub-rev. 2.1.1b to address that issue.
If you are trying to enter in your serial number and it does not appear to take, first verify that you are not entering in any leading or trailing white spaces if that does not solve the problem you may be encountering the issue at top, in that case download the latest version which should address the issue fully.

Web = Fiche & Contre-Fichein this following Schema "Chantignole" is false : must be "Arbalétrier" !

This week has been a bit tough for me to get any meaningful work done on any of the plugins, too many Christmas concerts, parties etc... but I guess its for the better. This weekend I will try to get out the update for the heel blocking and an update on the translations.

Version 2.1.2 - 12.18.2017
- Enabled vertical and angled heel blocking within the advanced options for truss roofs.
If you choose to enable vent holes the heelblock menu will prompt for the hole diameter. The vent hole algorithm will place vent holes in the heel blocking per the truss spacing:
< 12 in. = 1 vent hole
< 16 in. = 2 vent holes
16 in. or greater = 3 vent holesLet me know if this makes sense, I can always modify it to meet any criteria. If this sort of thing varies a lot per locale I can also make it more user definable.

This type of heel blocking is very typical in my locale (Western Washington State):
