RE: [Plugin] GKWare Stair Maker
Another idea that I have is to create elliptical stairs. There are essentially 2 types where the stair starts either at the minor or major axis. These stairs can be made comfortable without having a change of pitch. They can also be made with a continuous change of pitch (bigger challenge - more costly)

RE: [Plugin] GKWare Stair Maker
Doug - I do have plans to get back into StairMaker.
L shaped and U shaped stairs are part of my plans (using simple landings). There will probably be additional parameters. I'm also thinking about including a notching point for either side of the stair. Example the top of the stair is between 2 walls and the stair widens after the notching point, possibly changing from housed to sawtooth after the notch.

RE: [Plugin] GKWare Cabinet Maker
CabMaker 2.0.69 is available on my web site.
Please note that this major version is a signed plugin using the more current encryption and only works with SU 2016 and SU 2017
There is a new storage system that prevents updates from overwritting your templates.
There is a template importer that you can use to copy your CabMaker 1 templates over to CabMaker 2 -
RE: [Plugin] GKWare Cabinet Maker
Version 2.0.69 will be available this weekend and the licensing is as follows.

Anyone with a CabMaker license purchased more than 1 year ago my purchase an upgrade for 75% of the going rate.
The paypal purchasing options will be on my web site.

RE: [Plugin] GKWare Cabinet Maker
This next version is a major update.
- It will support SU 2016 and SU 2017
- It will be signed which means a change in storing templates. All supplied templates will stay in the folders I am currently using. All "Save" and "Save As" templates will go into a new folder called "storage". This accomplishes 2 things. It will get around the Invalid Signature which happens when one of the original files get changed and it will get around templates being over written during an update.
I am currently looking at making changes to licensing. I welcome feedback.

RE: [Plugin] GKWare Stair Maker

Are you sure you installed 1.0.23What does it say at the top of the form?

RE: [Plugin] GKWare Cabinet Maker
These are all the tall door choices where you can have a mid rail
The first 5 are embossed doors where the door is a 1 piece door.
Then next 5 were a 5 piece door and are now a 7 piece door.
The last 3 currently can only be created as a 5 piece door.The mid rail is currently precisely in the middle of the door. If users want to be able to set the lower panel height then please respond with that request.

RE: [Plugin] GKWare Cabinet Maker
I'm working on version 1.0.68
You can now have a stile profile for embossed shaker stile doors

You can now set drawer box dado's independently for drawer box sides and drawer box fronts and backs. Here are some of the many possibilities.

I'm now working on completing mid rails for tall doors.

RE: [Plugin] GKWare Cabinet Maker
New version of CabMaker 1.0.67 and Cutmaster 2.0.1.35 are now available.
CabMaker
- For Frameless Overlay added Force Full Side Gaps (left, right, both or none) This is helpful when a cabinet such as an upper cabinet goes beside a deep pantry etc.
CutMaster now has fully synchronized cutplan, Dxf View, labels and Dxf Files.
-
RE: [Plugin] GKWare Cabinet Maker
Yes Mario - you are correct.
The next version of CabMaker includes a few small fixes that are of concern for Cutmaster users. Additionally there is a simplification for creating new material templates.
Notice that all materials have a checkbox.

Now when you apply a change on a checked material that change is then applied to all materials that have a check mark.

RE: [Plugin] GKWare Cabinet Maker
CutMaster version 2.0.1.34 is now available.
- Stretcher Construction and Dowel holes were not recognizing more than 1 hole. Fixed.
- With multiple rules Cutmaster would sometimes use the wrong rule. Fixed.
- With Full Dado's Cutmaster was running a zero depth rout. Removed.
- Labels were only printing in millimeters even when inches is selected. Fixed.

RE: [Plugin] GKWare Cabinet Maker
BTW - there is a new setting in Edit Config which will turn back on the door and drawer opening and closing.
It is called Animate Doors
I had to do this because Sketchup's own Dynamic Components were creating stack issues and weren't allowing cabmaker to make it through their review process. This strategy has now made it through.

RE: [Plugin] GKWare Cabinet Maker
version 1.0.66 is now available from my web site.
- Blind cabinets now work with Depth and Depth Right.
- Mid Stretchers did not adjust for integrated kicks. Fixed.
- Missed graphics for drawer box height overrides and for Mid Stretchers. Fixed.
- Added Top Rail Overhang at the cabinet level. This works well for medicine cabinets.
- Added Mid Rail for Shaker and Square door types – more coming.
- Extruded handles using textures was not loading . Fixed.

RE: [Plugin] GKWare Cabinet Maker
Version 1.0.65 fixes an issue where I have exceeded the amount of data that can be sent between sketchup and the cabmaker dialog. I am now splitting up the data into several chunks instead of one long string. Turns out you can now set decimal inches or decimal mm to as many decimal points as you want without an ill effect.
I am now working on version 1.0.66 which treats blind cabinets the same way as other corner cabinets. You will be able to properly adjust the width of blind panels.
I'm also looking into adding a mid rail to 5 piece doors that are taller than X and I will default this to 1200 mm or 48"
A user wanted to build medicine cabinet using face frame construction and have the frame overhang both sides, top and bottom.

RE: 3D Truss Models
My stair maker plugin creates straight and curved stairs. Also Spirals.

I am intending on adding quarter and half landings and some other features.

I have built more than 200 of these geometric stairs including elliptical, specialty winders etc.
We also specialized in framed up curved stairs without the cost of stringers.
Some of my stairs projects include providing the bending forms and flattened stringers.

RE: Scale to exact dimension ?
Why not reassign 1 or more function keys to directly type the " and ' for you.
-
RE: The Pro Effect
It is possible that some plugins use pro features when available or if not available then either skips the feature or tries to obtain the objective by manually coding. The later method may or may not be completely successful. So from the users point of view the plugin potentially could work better with Pro. However this would be the exception rather than the rule.

RE: [Plugin] GKWare Cabinet Maker
1.0.64 is now available for download.
You can now override the widths of the shelves for the Top and Mid sections of tall cabinets.

RE: Any way to install two copies of SU (same version)?
I agree with Dan.
In my testing scenario I simply install my plugins in an area that All users can see. This way the several hundred settings can be seen by all versions of sketchup and all users.
My plugins all work with every version of sketchup after SU 6 (haven't tested SU 6)
