                      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:

                        https://aws1.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/4/c/4cbe68e6bb45e0e417077a8ad1184d254d8b5836.jpeg

                        Window Well Options:

                        Type: Steel
                        Shape: Rectangle, Arc, Trapezoid
                        Width:
                        Projection:
                        Depth:
                        Radius:
                        Vertical Offset:

                          • 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.

                                The new updated menu for stemwall openings also shows two other advanced options however I have not yet activated those features yet.

                                    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:

                                    https://aws1.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/e/6/e6b32e6674f250ad04f27f9c9bd32e7b696119bc.jpeg

                                    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:

                                          Still a few details to work out with the door and window opening module.

                                            one thought - maybe create a windows and doors module and only add the bucks for the doors and windows in the foundation. then the windows and doors modules become reusable across your other products. also maybe the option to apply commercial product names / models, etc, even if minimal drawing detail, so the reporting shows up as a commercial product (e.g Pella)
