                          When the foundation segment lengths in a polyline stemwall foundation are too short this is what you get (notice the anchor bolt placement):

                          https://aws1.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/b/a/ba1443b0e345add3c636dbc40bc9ded984787e76.jpeg

                          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.

                            http://design.medeek.com/resources/foundationplugin/images/foundation_su72_800.jpg

                            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.

                                        First look at a hole cut using the new SUBTRACT keyword system:

                                        https://aws1.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/f/c/fcfa3a82d747e94b0e665eed71592e96d3eaa409.jpeg

                                        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...)

                                          http://design.medeek.com/resources/foundationplugin/images/foundation_su78_800.jpg

                                          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.
