Version 1.5.0 - 02.16.2025

• Added two generic side discharge hvac/heat pump condensor units into the built-in library: HP_XV19_42, HP_XV19_36.
• Added various "Wilkerson Art" framed art prints within the "art" category under misc. fixtures: Wasco, Frog, Hummingbird, Eagle under Sun, Killer Whale, Abstract and Medeek (Grizzly Bear).

The funny thing is that I added the hummingbird framed art back in June (2024) as an Easter Egg but I guess no one noticed, or at least no one ever messaged me about it so I guess it went undetected. I've also added in a decent wall clock as well for those needing a wall clock mounted in a room.

Decided to take a much needed break from the code today and did some other misc. tasks. This one just kind of popped up on my radar so I figured I would add a few more framed prints.

As far as using the artwork in any of your projects, so long as you hold a licensed copy of the Medeek Electrical plugin you are authorized to use my artwork in any personal or professional projects you see fit. My only request is that if you do decide to use the artwork, please give attribution where possible and applicable.

I've started working on adding in a scissor truss option into the module. Here are some quick and dirty (sorry I must have set my lunch down on my engineering pad earlier today) calcs for the heel joint of such a truss:

Version 3.9.0d - 02.14.2025

• Fixed a floating point rounding bug for metric templates.
• Fixed a bug for balusters when a run of stairs is a single step.

Still putting out a few little fires. Whenever you make big changes it always seems like you miss something or you add a new feature that adds a whole new level of complexity, and then the plugin gets itself into states that you did not foresee. That is what makes this job fun, you get surprised once in a while.

Please feel free to send me any additional bug reports or feature requests. I think we've just about wrapped up the stair module for a while.

Version 3.9.0c - 02.12.2025

• Fixed a bug when the top tread is flush.

Version 1.4.9 - 02.11.2025

• Added three generic hvac condensor units/sizes into the built-in library (with WeatherGuardTM tops): 30X28_WG, 30x32_WG, 30x40_WG.

These additional variants added per customer request. They are the exact same as the similar sized units other than the addition of the weather guard top. Hopefully this gives enough selection for typical residential AC units however if there is need for any other styles etc... please let me know.

Version 3.9.0 - 02.11.2025

• Enabled zero size intermediate posts (balusters) for glass railing.
• Fixed a bug with floor level winders/landings for landing treads and covers.

Version 3.8.9 - 02.09.2025

• Added preview thumbnails for handrail fittings to the draw and edit menus of the stair tool.
• Fixed a bug with adjacent winders/landings for landing treads and covers.
• Fixed a minor bug with materials for handrail fittings.

Version 1.4.8 - 07.02.2025
Added "hvac" under misc. fixtures.
Added four generic hvac condensor units/sizes into the built-in library: 30X28, 30x32, 30x40, 36x32.

Version 3.8.8b - 02.06.2025

• Added the option for closed stringers.

The lifetime licensing options are now permanently listed on the website:

Just a few more loose ends before I jump back to the Floor plugin.

I would like to enable landing treads for winders, but things get a little interesting when the min. winder length is set to zero. Does this look okay?

Version 3.8.7b - 01.29.2025

• Fixed a bug with the baluster options.
• Enabled a zero stringer option for floating stairs.

Version 3.8.7 - 01.28.2025
