Version 1.1.3 - 01.13.2026

• Enabled custom overhangs for sheathing.
• Added a "Remove Overhang" parameter to selectively control the sheathing overhang.

Update per customer request.

This feature is identical to the overhang feature included with steel decks and will allow the user to set an overhang and then selectively assign specific edges which do not have the overhang enabled.

Tutorial #20 explains how this feature works:

Version 4.2.2 - 01.11.2026

• Enabled the CUSTOM casing for trapezoid windows.
• Enabled the CUSTOM H casing for trapezoid windows.
• Enabled the CUSTOM casing for arched windows.

Version 4.2.1 - 01.09.2026

• Enabled the CUSTOM E casing for rectangular windows.
• Enabled the CUSTOM H casing for rectangular windows.
• Added a STYLE H casing option for rectangular windows.

Version 3.7.6 - 01.07.2026

• Added an offset parameter for coffer trusses (non-raised heel only).

Version 3.7.5 - 01.03.2026

• Enabled hurricane ties for all remaining common trusses.
• Enabled hurricane ties for scissor, cathedral, polynesian and dual pitch trusses.
• Fixed a (metric) bug for the inset parameter for hurricane ties.

Version 1.1.2 - 01.02.2026

• Fixed bugs with saving floor presets

Thank-you to all those who are sending in bug reports. Please keep sending those in, they are very helpful and I am able to track down and put out the little fires that much more quickly.

If you think you have encountered a bug, turn on the Ruby Console in SketchUp, then duplicate the behavior and then send me any error codes generated with other pertinent details. I will do my best to remedy all bugs that are detected and reported.

I have posted a FAQ for licensing questions on my website with the most common questions that I am asked, hopefully this is helpful:

I’m thinking about adding in a tool so that one can assign labels within a load center as well as configure the circuit breakers. Thoughts on this?

Version 4.2.0 - 12.22.2025

• Updated the opening and closing algorithm for all (panel) garage doors.

Not a customer request, just an interesting kinematic challenge that I felt like addressing at some point. I found the previous garage door opening animation largely unsatisfactory for panel doors like these. Hopefully you can indulge me with a little gold plating... now back to the real stuff.

I spent about an hour trying to figure out the best way to model some of these plumbing fittings for the upcoming plumbing extension. The most basic or commonly encountered of which is probably the 90 deg. elbow or quarter turn. I decided to use the default 24 segments in a circle so that the fitting doesn’t look too blocky but now I am worried about the polycount. Here is a precisely modeled elbow (1-1/2", ABS DWV, Part No. 300).

All dimensions are in agreement with the Charlotte dimensional catalog (pg. 28). My concern is that the file/component size is 112 Kb, is this too large? There will be many such fittings in a given plumbing model, then again maybe I am overthinking this.

I will probably have to model all these fittings by hand, especially if I want them to be low poly and clean. The problem I have found with bringing in models from other vendors is that they are often messy and not even dimensionally accurate to their own documentation. I end up spending more time trying to clean things up when it is sometimes easier to create a clean model from scratch.

Version 4.1.9b - 12.18.2025

• Fixed a bug (door presets) introduced with door hardware material update on 11/29/2015 (Version 4.1.5).

After the Beam calculator I need to put together the post/column calculator, then the footing calculator, then the shear wall calculator and then maybe the FTAO shearwall calculator.

Version 4.1.9 - 12.16.2025

• Enabled the "Add Studs" feature for the following wall types: rectangular, gable, shed and hip.
