Medeek Wall Plugin
-
I've recently had the request to add an annotation to the wall panels that displays the cladding area (net and/or total). See example below:
Obviously I would add this to a separate dimension layer/tag so one could easily toggle it on and off. One can already get this information from the estimating module but this would simply provide a quick and easy way to pull the sqft (area) of a wall panel. By default this extra annotation would be turned off but if desired one could enable it in the global settings (Sheathing tab).
It would not be too much trouble to add something like this in but I just want to roll this in front of a larger audience and see if it is even something that would be useful or beneficial to the majority of the user base.

Version 4.3.7 - 02.28.2026
- Added a "Garage Door Extent" option to the Garage Door tab of the Global Settings.
- The garage door extent symbol/outline can now be removed or toggled between a dashed (construction line) or solid line.
This update per customer request.

Version 4.3.8 - 03.01.2026
- Updated the draw wall perimeter tool with a more robust "face" draw option.

I would highly recommend that new users of my extensions watch this intro video as well as those who are contemplating purchasing any of the extensions.

Version 4.4.0 - 03.12.2026
- Enabled the following method within the Medeek Wall API: wall_draw
- Added the Medeek Wall API Documentation page to the website.
-
Version 4.4.0b - 03.13.2026
- Enabled the following methods within the Medeek Wall API: wall_read_attributes, wall_read_attribute, wall_set_attribute
- Added the Medeek Wall API - Wall Attribute Library Index page to the website.
The Wall Attribute Library Index exposes all of the attributes that are stored with wall assemblies. This is the first time I have publicly exposed all of these parameters.

Tutorial 82 - Medeek Wall API (18:43 min.)
I think with all the rapid developments in AI there will begin to be an increase in AI assisted workflows. We are only seeing the beginning of this. Honestly, If I don't develop this API I will simply get left behind. I will need to add in many more methods (ie. draw_door, draw_window, draw_column etc...) I also need to do this for each plugin.
-
Version 4.4.1 - 03.18.2026
- Enabled the following methods within the Medeek Wall API: wall_win_draw, wall_win_read_attributes
- Added a "right" hand casement window and updated the existing casement name to be a "left" hand casement window.
The casement window update per customer request.
I've added the first two methods for windows in the API. I still need to add the following methods:
- wall_win_read_attribute
- wall_win_set_attribute
- wall_win_move
- wall_win_open
- wall_win_delete
I will then need to create similar methods for doors, garage doors and in-wall columns. My plate is full right now.
-
Version 4.4.2 - 03.21.2026
- Enabled the following methods within the Medeek Wall API: wall_door_draw, wall_door_read_attributes
- Enabled the following methods within the Medeek Wall API: wall_garage_draw, wall_garage_read_attributes
Tomorrow I will try to add the in-wall columns to the API and then after that I will need to finish adding all the other methods, for opening, moving and deleting these sub-elements.
-
Version 4.4.2b - 03.21.2026
- Enabled the following methods within the Medeek Wall API: wall_column_draw, wall_column_read_attributes
-
Version 4.4.3 - 03.23.2026
- Enabled the following methods within the Medeek Wall API: wall_win_get_attribute, wall_win_set_attribute
- Enabled the following methods within the Medeek Wall API: wall_door_get_attribute, wall_door_set_attribute
- Enabled the following methods within the Medeek Wall API: wall_garage_get_attribute, wall_garage_set_attribute
- Enabled the following methods within the Medeek Wall API: wall_column_get_attribute, wall_column_set_attribute
This completes most of the required methods for the Medeek Wall API.
There are other assembly types that I can possibly add in API calls for but I may wait and see what is requested by the userbase before spending too much more time on this. The other assembly types are:
- stairs
- beams
- free standing posts
- moldings (crown, baseboard, chair rail)
