Medeek Wall Plugin
-
maybe collapse the wall sheathing section as well so it's only opened if you need to edit it.
-
Version 3.3.6 - 11.18.2023
- Added a "Menu UI" parameter in the General tab of the Global Settings with the following options: Legacy, Collapsed, Expanded.
- Updated the Wall Draw and Edit menus with the new Menu UI options.
- Fixed a bug with the tee intersection algorithm for rectangular "stacked" walls.
The additional menu options are in response to feedback from multiple users requesting a less busy and simpler menu system. By default the legacy menu system is selected in the global settings however one can quickly change to one of more advanced "collapsible" systems. This is my first real crack at this so further refinement may be necessary depending on the feedback I receive.

-
one thing i recently ran into was needed a steel column to support a steel beam spanning a couple of walls to get the proper support for ceiling joists. it would be a nice option (not necessarily to provide a steel column in leiu of a wood one
) but just to leave the space for easily adding one separately (and thus avoiding closing it etc when regenerating due to a wall change).cheers!
-
I could provide another option in the Advanced Options section which essentially removes the column and leaves a blank opening in wall. Is this what you are suggesting?
-
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
