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 1.5.8 - 02.16.2026

• Fixed a minor bug with misc. fixtures.
• Added additional "Wilkerson Art" framed art prints within the "art" category under misc. fixtures.

Version 4.3.5 - 02.15.2026

• Added the ability to create custom "Beveled T&G" wall cladding materials within the Material Library.
• Enabled "3D" Beveled T&G wall cladding for all wall types: Rectangular, Gable, Shed and Hip.

This 3D material by customer request.

The three numeric parameters in order are: board spacing, bevel height and bevel depth

An example of this 3D material might be: beveltg_6.0_0.25_0.25

Version 4.3.4 - 02.13.2026

• Fixed a bug with bypass, bifold, pocket and sliding glass doors as related to the sidelite and transom options.
• Fixed a bug with the kick plate option for doors.

Version 4.3.3b - 02.10.2026

• Fixed a bug with pocket and sliding glass doors as related to the sidelite and transom options.

Version 1.1.4 - 02.09.2026

• Fixed a bug with staggered joists.

Version 1.2.6 - 02.09.2026

• Added a line type option for major grid lines of the grid tool.
• Added the major grid line option to the General tab of the Global Settings.

With the latest versions of SketchUp there is a bug with the stipple pattern for construction lines and as a result it is nearly impossible to differentiate major grid lines from minor grid lines. Since this bug has never been resolved (at least to my knowledge) by the SketchUp team, I have determined that simple work around would be to replace the construction lines in the grid (major grid lines only) with regular lines or edges. Now one can actually tell them apart.

This option can be toggled in the General tab of the Global Settings.

Personally I prefer the dashed construction lines for the major grid lines but in newer versions of SketchUp solid lines are probably the better option.

Version 4.3.3 - 02.08.2026

• Added the following Simpson Strong-Tie anchor bolts to the wall, column and shearwall modules: SABR58-24, SABR34-26, SABR78-28, SABR1-30, SABR114-32.

These new anchor bolts are included in the new Wood Construction Connectors Catalog (C-C-2026) for 2026.

These low poly versions of the anchor bolts are based on the models provided on Simpsons website.

Version 2.0.7 - 02.05.2026

• Fixed a bug with the (double) stemwall step when the ICF option is active.

Version 4.3.2 - 02.05.2026

• Added flat panel options for pocket doors.
• Added flat panel options for bifold 2 and bifold 4 doors.
• Added flat panel options for bypass doors.

I think that finally completes all of the door panel options for all the other non standard door types (rectangular doors) within the Wall plugin.
