Foundation Plugin
-
After giving this suggestion some additional thought:
I think I will introduce two additional parameters for stemwall foundations which will make them more applicable for use as retaining walls in foundation design.
The two parameters will be:
Ftg. Bar Development: None, Hook, Full Ext., Full Int.
Ftg. Offset: 0.0 in (default)Currently footings are drawn symmetrically with respect to the foundation wall, this will enable the user to offset the footing in or out (+/-).
-
Version 1.6.1 - 08.31.2020
- Added a footing offset parameter to polyline stemwalls.
- Enabled options for 90 deg. footing hooks for vertical rebar in polyline stemwall.

your website isn't reflecting the new version yet
-
It should be showing version 1.6.2 now.

not yet, and I did press "F5" so the page would load fresh
-
Try it now.

Version 1.6.3 - 10.22.2020
- Fixed a bug in the strip footing "Outline" edit menu.
-
Version 1.6.4 - 01.11.2021
- Added the option for post bases for the (Post & Beam) Interior Bearing tool: BC40, BC60.
Post base hardware added per customer request.
-
Version 1.6.4b - 01.14.2021
- Added the following additional post bases to the Interior Bearing tool: ABU44, ABU66.
Two additional post bases added per customer request.

When the foundation segment lengths in a polyline stemwall foundation are too short this is what you get (notice the anchor bolt placement):
I'm working up some additional logic to properly deal with anchor bolt placement with short segment lengths.
-
Version 1.6.5 - 02.09.2021
- Fixed a bug with anchor bolt placement for polyline stemwalls.
- Added an option for a zero depth footing for polyline stemwalls, which eliminates the footing for this foundation type.
By setting the depth of the footing to zero you can eliminate the footing from a polyline stemwall, so only the stemwall portion of the foundation is drawn. This is per customer request.
Also the algorithm for anchor bolt placement for polyline stemwalls is greatly improved, however there can always be further improvements, any feedback is always appreciated.
-
Version 1.6.6 - 02.12.2021
- Added logic to the final assembly routine to allow for electrical components (Medeek Electrical) to be retained within all foundation assemblies.
-
Version 1.6.7 - 03.07.2021
- Fixed a bug with brick ledges (and drain pipe) for slab-on-grade foundations.
-
Version 1.6.8 - 03.14.2021
- Standardized the naming convention of the plugin toolbars.
-
Version 1.6.9 - 03.25.2021
- Fixed a bug with footing offsets when a (polyline) stemwall terminates non-orthogonally.
-
Version 1.6.9b - 03.26.2021
- Fixed a bug with footing extensions (polyline stemwalls) for SketchUp Pro 2021.
- Enabled hidden edges for polyline stemwalls that terminate non-orthogonally.

First look at a hole cut using the new SUBTRACT keyword system:
Now I just need to set this up for the other various foundation types (ie. stemwall, stemwall steps, strip footings etc...)
-
Version 1.7.0 - 05.09.2021
- Added an option for subtractive geometry into the General tab of the Global Settings.
- Sub-groups within foundations and footings can be made persistent and "subtractive" by naming these groups to (subtract1, subtract2, subtract3, etc...)
Interestingly the code to make this happen was staring me in the face for months. I essentially took the "roof connections" complex roof module, changed up the logic slightly, simplified it, and arrived at this new feature/ability.
Notice that the subtractive groups cut through the rebar as well as the concrete. Certain other elements such as anchor bolts (groups within groups) are not removed. I may need to give this some additional consideration.
I guess we need to make this new feature available with the Truss plugin as well now.
