Version 1.1.8 - 02.21.2024

• Updated custom rebar within the Medeek Estimator to include unit and total length.
• Added custom rebar within the Medeek Estimator for Slab, Stemwall and Grade Beam foundations.
• Updated the Medeek Estimator so that multi-ply (custom) Window and Door headers are properly called out and quantified.
• Added additional logic into the Medeek Estimator so that assemblies are ordered in the report logically by their assembly names.

Tutorial 5 - Estimating Custom Rebar (12:15 min.)

Version 1.1.7 - 02.17.2024

• Enabled custom rebar within the Medeek Estimator for Slab-on-Grade foundations

Per customer request.

Version 3.4.9 - 02.16.2024

• Added an RGB color code input into the Add, Update and Import menus for custom materials.
• Added an RGB color code input for each color in the Materials tab of the Global Settings.
• Added a "Toggle RGB Input" button to the Materials tab of the Global Settings.

Updates per customer request.

Version 1.1.6 - 02.13.2024

• Added foundations within the Medeek Estimator: Slab-on-Grade, Slab, Stemwall, Grade Beam

There is still a lot more work to be done with adding all of the various hardware and items into the estimating for foundations. This is just a start.

Version 1.9.5 - 02.13.2024

• Improved the serial number verification logic within the License tab of the Global Settings.
• Updated the javascript logic within the License tab of the Global Settings.
• Added statistics for the following foundation types (Medeek Estimator integration): Slab-on-Grade, Slab, Stemwall, Grade Beam

Version 3.4.8 - 02.04.2024

• Added a Sheathing Reset button in the Sheathing tab of the Global Settings.
• Added Dimension Layer 5 specfically for framing/elevation auto-dimensions (Layer tab of the global settings).
• Enabled editing of dimensions for framing/elevation dimensions (rectangular walls only).

Tutorial 46 - Editing Framing Dimensions (7:34 min.)

Version 3.4.7 - 02.01.2024

• Updated the Columns tab of the Global Settings with new parameters.
• Added glazing color and opacity parameters to the Sheathing tab of the Global Settings.

The Columns tab now includes Custom and Blank under Column Type.

Up until now the glass color and opacity has been hard coded in to the plugin, now the user can adjust these values if desired.

Version 1.4.1 - 01.31.2024

• Improved the serial number verification logic within the License tab of the Global Settings.
• Updated the javascript logic within the License tab of the Global Settings.
• Added standard PVC (Schedule 80) electrical conduit sizes into the custom wire library.
• Fixed a minor bug with the edit wire profile logic of the wire module.

It turns out the outer diameter and bend radius of schedule 80 conduit is the same as schedule 40, only the wall thickness is different. I learn something new everyday.

Version 3.4.6 - 01.30.2024

• Added a "Dimension to Centerline" option for framing dimensions in the General tab of the Global Settings.
• Enabled centerline dimensioning for openings, columns and SSW for rectangular walls.
• Added a "Style 5" (Pull Plate) to the built-in door hardware options.
• Added more options for grid style window grilles: 3X4, 4X5, 5X6.

All updates per customer requests.

Version 3.4.5b - 01.28.2024

• Fixed a bug with holdowns for in-wall columns.
• Fixed a bug with the bottom plate cutting algorithm for in-wall columns.

Version 3.4.5 - 01.28.2024

• Added two additional column types for in-wall columns: Custom, Blank.
• Three additional parameters added for custom in-wall columns.
• Added a custom label option and annotation section for in-wall columns.
• Updated the javascript logic within the License tab of the Global Settings.

Technically this update is a bit redundant because one can already configure custom in-wall columns within the global settings. However, this new option gives one the ability to insert any sort of column into the wall (non-wood) as well as a blank opening where one could then insert their own manually modeled column or structural support.

The custom label option applies to all column types, so it can override the auto labeling algorithm of the module.

This update per customer request.

I could provide another option in the Advanced Options section which essentially removes the column and leaves a blank opening in wall. Is this what you are suggesting?

Version 3.4.4 - 01.24.2024

• Added a pressure treated option for in-wall columns.
• Created a more realistic material/texture for pressure treated timbers (for in-wall columns and posts).

Version 1.1.5 - 01.23.2024

• Fixed a bug with the Extend Tool for groups (and components) that share the same definition.

Version 3.4.3 - 01.18.2024

• Improved the serial number verification logic within the License tab of the Global Settings.
• Added a Door Reset button in the Doors tab of the Global Settings.
• Added a Window Reset button in the Windows tab of the Global Settings.

Version 1.4.0 - 01.12.2024

• Added a "PIPE" shape to the wire module for electrical conduit.
• Added an additional parameter for custom wires (conduits/pipes) within the library: Wall Thickness.
• Added standard PVC (Schedule 40) electrical conduit sizes into the custom wire library.

Note, that previous custom wire libraries will not be compatible with this latest update. If you have an extensive library already established please contact me directly with step-by-step instructions on how to bring an older wire library into this latest version of the plugin.

The dimensions for the OD, wall thickness and bend radius were taken directly from CANTEX and JM Eagle literature, and should match exactly the standard specs for SCH40 PVC in the American and Canadian markets.
