      This is how I do it: after you've logged into your account it should bring up the main screen that has the Plugins towards the bottom of the page. Pick on either one (say, the truss plugin), then when it shows your order number pick on it. At that window it should say "Download Now" at the top - pick that and save the new version to your computer.

        Worked like a charm. Thank you.

        I would suggest that a sentence or two could be put in the Account manger page to explain this. Sometimes the obvious ... isn't.

          I apologize for the obvious confusion in where to go to download the latest version. I will look into this further and update the Account Manager accordingly.

              You give me too much credit, if I was on top of things we wouldn't be having this conversation.

                Okay, try it now...

                Login to the Account Manager and click on either the Truss Plugin or the Foundation Plugin. If you have an active license (not expired) a download button/link will now show rather than a purchase or renew button. Once your plugin serial expires the button will revert to a renew and/or purchase button. Not sure why I didn't fix this before, it was not a big deal.

                If you click on your order number you will also see the download link as well. Just one less hoop to jump through.

                    The renewal option is now available for the foundation plugin. The current renewal cost is $7.00 USD versus a $10.00 USD new license fee.

                      Great news for all licensed users of the Medeek Foundation Plugin.
                      Nathaniel just updated the Medeek Construction Library KickStarter project by adding a pledge that lets people upgrade their existing Foundation Plugin license to the Construction Library license for $35.

                          I have just started to experiment with the foundation plugin. The parametrics are great.

                          A question: might it be possible to have defaults for joists flush with the mud sill, i.e. to have the floor
                          assembly sit WITHIN the foundation wall?

                          With my thanks.

                            This is an increasingly typical condition for us too. The sheathing extends over the mudsill. Then we also have the condition where we raise the stemwall even higher to raise the wall framing above adjacent decks.

                                      I've been considering adding in a waffle (pod) slab, the type that is common in Australia.

                                      I've also been reading quite a few online articles that discuss some of the issue with this type of foundation:

                                      Link Preview Image
                                      Beware Waffle Slabs - Structural Engineers

                                      What are waffle slabs? Are they a great idea? I'll answer these questions and finish up with why I have never, ever designed one waffle slab.

                                      There does seem to be some advantages to this system but also some disadvantages.

                                      https://wpma.org.au/members/members

                                      Just wondering if anyone has any direct experience good or bad with this type of foundation system that they would be willing to share.
