Version 4.1.9b - 12.18.2025
- Fixed a bug (door presets) introduced with door hardware material update on 11/29/2015 (Version 4.1.5).
-
Version 4.2.0 - 12.22.2025
- Updated the opening and closing algorithm for all (panel) garage doors.
Not a customer request, just an interesting kinematic challenge that I felt like addressing at some point. I found the previous garage door opening animation largely unsatisfactory for panel doors like these. Hopefully you can indulge me with a little gold plating... now back to the real stuff.

I just received a very long and detailed email from one of my power users and I was thoroughly impressed with many of the suggestions and usability notes provided to me.
A long standing issue has been wall cladding as it relates to exterior trim of windows and doors. Up until now if you place your trim on the sheathing (not on cladding) then the trim interferes with the cladding. This usually isn't too big of a problem (visually) provided your cladding is not thicker than your trim. However, in the real world you generally install your trim first and then butt your cladding up to it, so there is no interference. When your cladding is thicker than your trim or you are using one of the 3D cladding options (ie. board and batten) this does become a bit of an issue and for me personally has been an annoying lack of realism now for a few years.
To fix this I needed to enable an option where one can toggle the trimming of the cladding by the exterior trim and then add some logic and geometry into the current algorithms so that the end result is as follows:
I won't bore you with the details of the rather complicated logic under the hood that accomplishes this but suffice it to say it is not trivial. It will take about 4-5 days to complete this update.
The window algorithms are now updated but I will need to update the door and garage door methods as well now.
In the global settings one will be able to independently toggle this on and off for windows, doors and garage doors. I will also probably put out another tutorial video on this feature specifically so that everyone is clear on how it works.
