The following toolbar will be added for HVAC Appliances:

The HVAC Appliance tool will be for adding AC units, furnaces, fans, VAV’s, boilers etc… Essentially any preconfigured HVAC equipment that is not duct work.

The will be simple stand alone assemblies that one can reposition using the native tools.

Some Youtube viewers of this video reached out and told me that they had more equipment than could reasonably fit within such a small structure. I agree, maybe a 16'x12' space is a bit cramped for anyone, especially if you are also using it for a content creation studio. This is where the parametrics of the extensions come in real handy:

Version 0.9.1 - 07.29.2025

• Updated the draw and edit menus for HVAC appliances.
• Added the following brands and associated models into the HVAC appliance built-in library: Bryant, Rheem

Version 0.8.2 - 09.09.2025

• Enabled loads and reactions (values) within the load diagram.
• Fixed a bug with end supports that are not centered on the start or end of the beam.
• Improved the formatting logic (SVG and HTML) for the load diagram.

First look at the bearing check:

I also need to update my disclaimer, the disclaimer shown is for my previous online calculator, it needs some changes.

Here are a couple examples, everything should be complete, but I will now spend the next couple of weeks error checking and seeing if I can break the engine or the report formatting. I will also need to test against other third party programs to make sure all my calcs are indeed correct. It is amazing how easy it is to make errors in the code on something this extensive.

Currently the calculator will only handle sawn lumber beams. Once I'm fairly certain I've eliminated any bugs or other issues I will then extend the logic so we can handle glulam and timber beams. Once that is done I will probably next work on LVL, LSL, and PSL and then finally I will include the ability to analyze various I-joists from the major manufacturers.

I've been slowly working on this for about three months now, probably another month to go.

Medeek Wall Plugin Tutorial 47 - Custom Glass Garage Doors (w/ Webcam)

Version 1.1.9 - 03.22.2024

• Added a Weight Database to the Medeek Estimating Module.
• Enabled Weight Analysis to the Medeek Estimating Module for Rectangular Wall Panels.
• Fixed some minor bugs with the estimating module for wall panels.

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:

Medeek Design Inc. - Medeek Project

Medeek Design Inc. - Medeek Project

(design.medeek.com)

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

• Created the Medeek Project Plugin, utilizing SketchUp's Ruby API.

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.
