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 1.9.7 - 04.23.2024
Version 3.4.3 - 04.30.2024
The original 3D cladding tutorial showed the following four materials:
The three additional ones added since this video are:
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
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
Version 1.1.9 - 03.22.2024
I've officially released the plugin now. However I do consider it still in BETA since I have not yet added the Project Info tool:
http://design.medeek.com/resources/medeekprojectplugin.pl
I think it would be very useful if one could input the project address and then have it not only pinpoint the lat and long but also give the elevation and the site criteria at that location (ie. Seismic, Snow Loads, and Wind Speeds.)
Granted this would probably only work fully for locations in the United States and possibly Canada but I think it would be a useful feature.
Version 1.0.0 - 01.11.2023

Also note that if you purchase the mdkBIM bundle today it will include a license/serial for the following plugins:
Wall, Truss, Foundation, Floor and Project
Since the Floor plugin is not yet complete you will not be able to download and install this unreleased plugin but all of the others are available.
Also note that the price of the mdkBIM bundle has not increased.
First look at the project info tool:
I still have some major changes for the General tab. First and foremost I want to try in incorporate an interactive Google Maps window with a button to auto-geo locate based on the address that is input by the user. Then also have the ability to zoom the map as necessary and refine the geo-location on the map. Using the Google maps API I should be able to get the lat, long and elevation (which will be important for the determination of other site criteria).
I've already done a good bit of programming using the Google API's on my website (running on my server) but this is something a bit new so I'm still uncertain if it will work within SketchUp. This should prove to be interesting.
Version 3.4.2 - 04.23.2024
[b]Version 1.9.8[/b] - 04.28.2024
Version 3.4.5 - 05.10.2024
Version 3.6.1 - 05.13.2024
Added Symbol 2 Layer specfically for 2D door swing symbols (Layer tab of the global settings).
Version 1.4.3 - 05.15.2024
Version 3.4.6 - 05.16.2024
The edit and regen functions have now been enabled for all active truss types within the plugin. However I still have four truss types that need to be setup and activated.
Version 3.4.8 - 05.25.2024
Tutorial 30: General Roof Connections (16:54 min.)
Please email me any feedback or suggestions on this new feature.
[b]Version 3.5.2[/b] - 05.30.2024
Honestly I didn't want to spend too much time updating this module since the new Floor plugin will supersede it, however since I do intend on retaining it within the Truss plugin for the foreseeable future, I thought it best to bring it up to speed with the other truss assemblies, and add the insulation option.
Some of these updates seem small now and very incremental however they all take time and energy and they usually involve fairly tedious updates to the attribute library code and the HTML menus.
The Truss plugin overall probably still has the most work that needs to be done of all the plugins. Compared to the Wall plugin this plugin has many partially finished tools and features and still certain trusses that are missing advanced options. The work will go on.
