Foundation Plugin
-
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.

I've been thinking about adding in a Door and Window module to the polyline stemwalls. However, I'm not very familiar with what is common practice as far window and door bucks go.
Any feedback or drawings/details would be greatly appreciated.

Now that I'm on the subject of windows it may also be useful to add in some sort of window well feature:
Window Well Options:
Type: Steel
Shape: Rectangle, Arc, Trapezoid
Width:
Projection:
Depth:
Radius:
Vertical Offset: -
Version 1.7.8 - 11.11.2021
- Added interior footings for rectangular and polygon slabs.
- Enabled editing, moving and deleting of interior footings for all slab foundations.
Regular slabs now have the same functionality with interior footings as the slab-on-grade foundations.
-
Version 1.7.9 - 12.24.2021
- Fixed a bug in the slab tool when layers/tags is disabled in the global settings.
I apologize that I did not notice this bug when I added interior footings to the slab module. Typically I enable layers/tags so it managed to sneak past me.
-
Version 1.8.0 - 02.13.2022
- Fixed a bug with the slab insulation thickness for the SOG draw tool (metric).
- Fixed a bug with the slab and SOG edit menus for slab reinforcement (metric).
-
Version 1.8.1 - 03.02.2022
- Enabled window wells for polyline stemwall openings: Rectangle, Arc and Trapezoid.
The new updated menu for stemwall openings also shows two other advanced options however I have not yet activated those features yet.
-
Version 1.8.2 - 03.03.2022
- Enabled window and door bucks for polyline stemwall openings.

To be honest I've never actually had to deal with a basement door opening in any of my various projects (design or structural) so now I have a bunch of questions.
Notice that typical prehung door frame is not deep enough to span two 2x4's and a 1/2" air gap:
So how is this typically framed out and trimmed? Are there special order door frames that are deeper that can better accommodate this situation?
*Note: I have not shown the brickmould that would trim out the exterior of the door and cover the door buck.
-
Something along these lines for an inswinging door (however I have shown the door frame and jamb extension as a single solid for simplicity).
Also note that I have shown the brickmould as 2.25" however 2" is a more common width so there would probably be a 1/4" gap between the brickmould and concrete (caulking).

First look at doors installed within the foundation plugin:
