      First look at an arched door frame and (solid) door:

      https://aws1.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/8/f/8f6a5472d21443210dde244ddde9f5598187e5d1.jpeg

      I think the only thing still pending is to make sure that wainscoting module can handle arched doors and then I will make this upgrade live.

        Version 1.2.0  - 01.15.2019

        • Added (segmental and half round) arched doors to the door module.
        • Enabled variable king stud and trimmer stud widths for doors.
        • Enabled built-up headers for doors.
        • Enabled the trimmer extend option for doors.
        • Added casing "Style C" for rectangle and arched doors (gypsum wrap for interior wall openings).

        I've also addressed a few minor bugs and issues with both the door and window modules.

        Currently the only arched door style is a "solid" door however I can add additional styles upon request (ie. half glass, double, full glass, six panel etc...)

            Version 1.2.0b - 01.16.2020

            • Fixed a bug with wall presets introduced with the addition of the stud spacing offset parameter.

            ***** CRITICAL BUG FIX *****
            If you have previously installed Version 1.1.8 thru Version 1.2.0 then you will want to update your installation to this latest version. The bug was introduced into the wall presets module on 01/06/2020 when the stud spacing offset parameter was added. This bug fix should resolve that bug and allow the creation of wall presets with this latest parameter added to the list of wall parameters.

              Version 1.2.1 - 01.17.2020

              • Added FLUSH:MITER and MITER:FLUSH option to the Wall Cladding Corners parameter.
              • Fixed a second bug with wall presets introduced with the addition of the stud spacing offset parameter.

              http://design.medeek.com/resources/trussplugin/images/truss_su625_800.jpg

              The additional options for the Wall Cladding Corners parameter is specifically for situations where you encounter a wall cladding material/thickness change at an inside corner as shown.

                    I've been considering add an advanced option for Quoins (outside corners only):

                    https://aws1.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/e/a/ea8cec59ed5a90224595423ed0bcd18e3db59f6b.jpeg

                    The required parameters would probably be:

                    Style:
                    Length 1:
                    Length 2:
                    Height:
                    Spacing:
                    Thickness:
                    Material:

                      • Fixed a number of bugs related to stacked doors, door sidelites and backward compatibility with previous versions.
                      • Added (segmental and half round) arched half glass doors to the door module.

                        Version 1.2.1d - 01.18.2020

                        • Fixed the praire and perimeter grille style for arched half glass and full glass doors.
                        • Added (segmental and half round) arched full glass doors to the door module.

                        It seems like there is always more with doors. The items still needing attention with the door module are:

                        • Option for transom window above rectangular and arched doors.
                        • Sidelites for arched doors.
                        • Additional door types for arched doors (ie. six panel, double half glass, double full glass etc...)
                        • Sliding doors
                        • Pocket doors
                        • Closet bi-fold doors

                            It would actually be just another type of corner trim.

                                Eight studs deep may seem a bit excessive but it's there if you need it.

                                    Version 1.2.4b - 02.08.2020

                                    • Added a T1-11 built-in material into the material library.
                                    • Fixed the move wall tool so that it no longer requires a negative number for offsetting to the exterior side of the wall.
                                    • Enabled the display of the offset dimension next to the blue movement arrow for the move wall tool.

                                    The elimination of the negative offset should make the wall move tool a lot more intuitive to use. Please feel free to give me further feedback in this regard.

                                      In some cases you may frame up something like this:

                                      https://aws1.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/c/1/c1a0e2ca91722a1d3f7fd74c35243c083bb55765.jpeg

                                      Rather than a tee intersection you have two walls forming a corner and then a third wall tying in at the corner. Currently I really don't have a good solution for this scenario since one would probably need to offset the sheathing or gypsum back where the tertiary wall ties in.

                                      I will need to give this some further thought. Any ideas or suggestions are always welcome.

                                      I've identified a possible bug or issue where the top plate cutout algorithm tries to cut out a zero thickness slice from the adjacent top plate in this particular scenario, I will release a fix for that shortly.

                                        ***** IMPORTANT WARNING *****

                                        This latest update is a necessary and major rewrite of the window and door modules. As such, this update will break compatibility with previous versions of the Wall plugin. It is highly suggested not to upgrade to this latest version for existing projects that were created with previous versions of the plugin.

                                          Version 1.2.5b - 02.17.2020

                                          • Fixed a critical bug with the recently updated window and door edit menus.

                                          This is a critical bug fix to Version 1.2.5. When the source code was compiled for this version the updated HTML files (window and door edit menus) were somehow not updated as they should have been. I strongly suggest that you update from version 1.2.5 to version 1.2.5b, otherwise you may not be able to edit your windows and doors.

                                            I apologize I was trying to upload Version 1.2.5b yesterday but for some reason I was unable to access the plugin store. I've noticed a number of upgrades and installations of Version 1.2.5 through out the day and this evening. Please upgrade to 1.2.5b since the previous version (1.2.5) has a critical flaw with the edit menus for both windows and doors and will not allow you to edit them. The problem was fully resolved with the fix in Version 1.2.5b.
