Medeek Wall Plugin

yes, or even just have a column type of "blank" (or simply marker) in the selection list (along with x dia round steel, x by x wood, etc) this way the code is effectively the same, just whether or not the spacing has anything other than say a 2D marker of the column location.

Version 3.4.5 - 01.28.2024

Added two additional column types for in-wall columns: Custom, Blank.
Three additional parameters added for custom in-wall columns.
Added a custom label option and annotation section for in-wall columns.
Updated the javascript logic within the License tab of the Global Settings.

Technically this update is a bit redundant because one can already configure custom in-wall columns within the global settings. However, this new option gives one the ability to insert any sort of column into the wall (non-wood) as well as a blank opening where one could then insert their own manually modeled column or structural support.

The custom label option applies to all column types, so it can override the auto labeling algorithm of the module.

This update per customer request.

thanks! this will be handy as i design a lot of studio where the isolation structure has to be separated from the exterior and custom columns and sizing it for that critical 2" separation, using i-beams and glulams, when using autogenerated walls etc will make this much easier to draw and document
