      Custom or "complex" walls are really no different than complex roofs or floors. They are defined by an array of points. I was just going to adapt my current "Outline Edit" method for Custom walls but I felt like it was time for a bit of an upgrade. I'm hoping people will find this new tool a bit more intuitive. After I fully test it I may incorporate the same logic/tool into the other plugins for the following: Complex Roofs, Floors, Slab-on-Grad foundations, Polyline Stemwalls and Railings

        Version 4.6.8 - 07.06.2026

        • Added a new "Custom" wall option in the Gable Wall tool.
        • Added Doors, Windows and Garage Doors for Custom walls.
        • Created a new interactive Custom Wall profile editing tool.

        This new "custom" wall is still not quite ready for prime time, however I want to put it out there so that the power users can BETA test it for me and tell me what works for them and what does not. I still need to add in all the advanced options and I'm sure there are a few holdovers from the previous wall menu (ie. Wall Height and Wall Length) that are not relevant to this wall type.

        Please be advised that this new wall type is not production ready. Right now it is for testing purposes only.

                  Version 4.6.9 - 07.16.2026

                  Enabled advanced options for Custom walls.

                  Currently the custom wall draw tool requires that a face be draw and then selected to draw a custom wall. I think I also need to allow for a point-by-point polyline method. I will give this some further consideration tomorrow.

                  I also think it might be convenient to be able to switch a rectangular wall to a custom wall, however the ability to switch back will be disabled or disallowed since a custom wall will potentially have too many points that define it so it can’t be cleanly converted back into a rectangular profile, I will need to give this some additional thought.

                        That's a really clever UI helper.
