Excellent news for all licensed users of the Medeek Truss Plugin.
Nathaniel just added additional pledges to the Medeek Construction Library KickStarter project.
If you have an existing Truss Plugin license and pledge $20 or more you will receive a license for the upcoming Construction Library.

The Construction Library will include:

* Truss Plugin
* Foundation Plugin
* Wall Plugin (Pre-release)

with the following plugins to be added in the future:

* Structural Plugin (Engineering)
* Deck Plugin
* Stair Plugin
* RC Plugin (Reinforced Concrete)

Great news for all licensed users of the Medeek Foundation Plugin.
Nathaniel just updated the Medeek Construction Library KickStarter project by adding a pledge
that lets people upgrade their existing Foundation Plugin license to the Construction Library license for $35.

In response to "ccaponigro comments":

I agree with your observations which describe the practice of design and construction
for smaller projects in "older firms" or ones that do not utilize software to its fullest advantages.

The current trend is towards integration of software in the design, manufacture, and construction.
Currently, this is mainly being achieved in larger projects and modular designs. The evolution in the
application of BIM is a testament to this change. Refer to video in http://www.nationalBIMlibrary.com

Change is now happening "exponentially" with the increasing power of computers
allowing the sophistication and elegance of software as shown in the ArchiCAD 21 videos.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfBAZYWPIxI

Time savings as a result of using "plugins" or smart software are welcome.
What is needed is continual refinement and improvements. To this end, I support programmers such
as Medeek and the software, they are developing.

Therefore the work practices described in your observations will likely remain
in the future but in a diminishing number of practices and industries.

Description

This video helps with the question: 'What is BIM'?

http://www.nationalBIMlibrary.com is the construction industry's free-to-use resource of NBS standard BIM content.
Objects are available in IFC, ArchiCAD, Bentley, Revit and Vectoworks format.
(note: although UK based it is FREE to enrol in NBS for BIM information and for BIM Library etc. At present mainly IFC and revit files)

NBS National BIM Library content links with manufacturer content such as maintenance literature and CPD. It also links to the UK specification system NBS.

For more information on BIM please see http://www.thenbs.com/BIM

For more information on BIM objects please see http://www.nationalbimlibrary.com

Medeek,
I suggest looking at the existing "stair plugins" in the Extension Warehouse
and see if there is not a common "universal" approach.

Multiple postings of Medeek's Kickstarter campaign is being undertaken by me
on my own initiative to alert as many SketchUcation users as possible to the
"Value" of members pledging funds ($) to Kickstarter by the 29 August.

I am posting in two sections:

1. SketchUp Pro & Make Discussions
2. Extensions & Applications Discussions.

After the 29 August these postings will end with the completion
of the Kickstarter campaign.
