I might actually designate the initial release a BETA number but I'm still not decided on that yet.

Right now the plugin is all torn apart as I continue to add in a few additional features like presets and the "remove joist list" option:

This is my current desk setup, I've just added the big monitor to my left which gives me more screen real estate and improves my coding efficiency.  This is where all the magic happens, at least for now.

I also initially used the slab-on-grade code for moving edges of the floor perimeter but now that I'm testing it more extensively it appears that I should probably switch to the code I use for the complex roofs, so some additional adjustments required there as well.

This is how the sausage is made, one line of code at a time.

My wife said my design was boring so I saved a new version and let her try to come up with something a little more interesting…

Version 1.9.7 - 04.23.2024

• Fixed a compatibility bug with SketchUp 2024 (Fixnum & Bignum) while maintaining backward compatibility with previous versions of SketchUp.

Version 3.4.3 - 04.30.2024

• Added ceiling gypsum for tray and coffer trusses.
• Enabled the "Edit Truss Assembly" function for tray and coffer trusses (imperial and metric units).
• Enabled labels for tray and coffer trusses.
• Updated the license verification system with a more secure and improved algorithm.

The original 3D cladding tutorial showed the following four materials:

• Board and Batten
• Shiplap
• Log
• Lap

The three additional ones added since this video are:

• Metal
• Shiplap (Vertical)
• Dutchlap

There are now seven different types of 3D cladding materials one can configure within the Custom Material Library.

Version 3.5.0 - 05.26.2024

• Enabled "flat" ceiling gypsum for dutch gable rafter roofs.
• Enabled "flat" ceiling gypsum for hip rafter roofs.
• Fixed a bug with the global settings for rafter and truss roofs when the layer/tags option is turned off.

CRITICAL BUG FIX!
Version 3.4.7 introduced a bug for both rafter and truss roofs when the layers/tags option is turned off. This release fixes that bug. I highly recommend that everyone download this latest update to correct this bug.

Double sliders are kind of interesting windows.

Sometimes I forget how cool it is to be able to create something like this in SketchUp and have it animate like it does. Can I say I love my job?

The new Rafter Roof menu should be a bit more visual and intuitive for selecting the appropriate roof type:

Version 3.5.6 - 07.03.2024

• Enabled a graphical user interface for Rafter Roof selection.
• Enabled a graphical user interface for Floor selection.
• Fixed a bug introduced in Version 3.5.3 for all I-joist, lumber and truss floors (when adv. floor options disabled).

Version 2.0.1 - 08.01.2024

• Added a duplicate foundation assembly check to the regen module for the following foundation types: Stemwall, SOG, Slab, Stemwall Step, Grade Beam, Strip Footing, Footing.

The instructions for usage are the same as the recent update to the Wall plugin, see Wall Plugin Tutorial #51:

Version 4.2.8 - 01.27.2026

• Added the following steel column types to the column module: Round (HSS), Pipe (NPS).

Update per customer request.

You can now add round steel in-wall columns into your Medeek walls. These aren't actually lally columns since that specific product is typically installed with an adjustable screw assembly. However for most design purposes I think showing the round column like the image above will suffice.

Tutorial 81 - Door Kick Plates (4:29 min.)

Version 4.2.7 - 01.26.2026

• Added a kick plate option for all swing doors (rectangular and arched).

Yet another update following up on a customer request. Probably not the highest priority on my list but a welcome addition for those that need this feature.

The kick plate(s) can be positioned on the exterior, interior or both sides of the door. The height and thickness is configurable. For now the margin at the edge is hard coded in at 0.75 inches (width is auto calculated based on door size). The material (ie. brass, nickel etc...) is configurable the same way the door hardware is.

I was also wondering if anyone had any thoughts on kick plates for doors. Is this something anyone is interested in?

Version 4.2.6 - 01.24.2026

• Added a one and two panel option for rectangular half glass and 3/4 glass doors.
• Added a one and two panel option for rectangular double half glass and double 3/4 glass doors.
• Added a one and two panel option for arched half glass and 3/4 glass doors.
• Added a one and two panel option for arched double half glass and double 3/4 glass doors.
  
  This update per customer request.

There are many other door configurations I could add but these were obvious low hanging fruit so I jumped on it and knocked it out fairly quickly. I will take another look at pocket doors and bypass doors and see if I can add some panel options to those as well.

My last house had three of them and I found them quite clunky to use. They look nice but functionality is marginal.

Version 4.2.5 - 01.20.2026

• Added an option (global settings) to miter trim for rectangular doors and windows.
• Fixed a minor bug with the remove cladding feature introduced in Version 4.2.3.

This update per customer request.

Version 4.2.4 - 01.19.2026

• Added bypass (2 panel - solid) doors to the door module.

This door type added per customer request.

At some point I should probably add in the "barn door" type, these seem to be quite popular these days.

Tutorial 80 - Removing Cladding (5:43 min.)

Version 4.2.3 - 01.18.2026

• Added an option (global settings) to remove cladding with the exterior trim of doors, windows and garage doors.
