Medeek Wall Plugin

gullfo

make it configurable at a wall level but based off a global set as a default. some CMU also have metalized surfaces as part of insulation or protection.so might be worthwhile to consider several levels in a given unit - again wall configurable but defaults to a global setting. then if there are specific products to be applied / supplied, modeling those should/would become simpler later on.

I think you are right, I will set it up in the global settings so the global defaults can be set but also allow the user to change these values on a per wall basis.

Here is a preview of the global settings (Insulation tab) with the new parameters:

bearing in mind that most ICF use rigid insulation

Version 3.0.8 - 01.03.2023

Added ICF options in to the Insulation tab of the Global Settings.
Added an ICF wall framing option for all wall types.
Added four additional ICF parameters into the wall Draw and Edit menus.
Fixed a bug with the plan view auto-dimensioning module.
Enabled trim, ext. wainscoting and quoins for CMU Core and ICF wall types.

ALERT! - CRITICAL BUG FIX
The bug associated with the upgrade that brought you plan view dimensions will cause the plugin to abort during regeneration when installing garage doors into a wall. It is highly recommended that you install this latest update which addresses this bug and a couple more minor bugs with the plan view dimension feature.

Well this is interesting:

These versions they have hacked are quite old so I'm not too worried but it is interesting that my plugins are useful enough to warrant hacking by someone.

Version 3.0.9 - 01.05.2023

Enabled beam pockets (in-wall columns) for CMU, CMU Core and ICF walls.
Fixed a bug within the plan view auto-dimensioning module having to do with in-wall columns.
Fixed a minor typo in the Draw menu for in-wall columns.

any thoughts on exterior parging / waterproofing like a partial thin surface (stucco, poly, etc) added on the exterior side above grade and below grade contact? fancy would be terrain following (approximated) versus a set level per wall.

Version 3.1.2 - 02.05.2023

Fixed a bug with metric templates that propagated from Version 3.0.8.
Fixed a specific bug with auto-loading wall presets.

! ATTENTION !
Critical bug fix, especially for metric templates. I highly recommend upgrading to Version 3.1.2 if you have installed Version 3.0.8 or later.

The auto-load bug has to do with enabling the auto-load preset option in the Global Settings and then subsequently deleting the preset that was selected as the default auto-load preset.

Version 3.1.2b - 02.07.2023

Fixed a minor bug with the Wall Selector Matrix (Gable, Shed and Hip walls).

This bug was due to some consolidation and general house cleaning I did with the code a few cycles back. Even when a gable wall was selected it would automatically revert to a rectangular wall. I just noticed this yesterday but the bug probably has been around for at least a month.

Version 3.1.3 - 02.16.2023

Fixed a bug with door presets within the Edit Door menu.

medeek

Version 3.1.4 - 03.12.2023

Added the following door types: flat one panel (single and double).

This update per customer request.

medeek

Version 3.1.5 - 03.17.2023

Added a fluting number parameter for classical columns.

Really wasn't wanting to dig into this right now but after a quick inspection of my code I realized it would only take me a few minutes to add in this additional parameter so that one could fine tune the look of the fluting of classical columns.

This update per customer request.

I thought I would circle back to inclined walls since I had some questions on shed dormers over the weekend.

I’ve updated the wall menus to include these new parameters now I just need to create the boolean logic to modify the wall geometry accordingly:

This feature should give the user the flexibility to modify rectangular, hip, shed or gable walls as needed when an inclined bottom plate is required.
