• Added the Medeek Wall API - Wall Attribute Library Index page to the website.

Medeek Wall API - Attribute Library Index

(design.medeek.com)

The Wall Attribute Library Index exposes all of the attributes that are stored with wall assemblies. This is the first time I have publicly exposed all of these parameters.

Version 4.4.0 - 03.12.2026

• Enabled the following method within the Medeek Wall API: wall_draw
• Added the Medeek Wall API Documentation page to the website.

Version 2.1.2 - 03.07.2026

• Added Weight Callouts as an option for polyline stemwall assemblies.
• Added Weight Callouts as an option for stemwall step assemblies.

For this detailed breakdown you need to have the "separate callouts" and "weight callouts" both enabled.

Version 2.1.1 - 03.06.2026

• Added a "Material Weights" section to the General tab of the Global Settings.
• Added Weight Callouts as an option for grade beam assemblies.

This update per customer request.

The density of the concrete, CMU and steel can all be customized in the global settings as shown in the image above. I will probably enable this feature for other foundation assemblies if it is requested.

Version 2.1.0 - 03.05.2026

• Enabled quantity 4 and 5 bars of footing rebar for stemwall and stemwall step foundations.

This update per customer request.

I did not update the legacy stemwall tool since I will be retiring that tool eventually but I have not decided on a date just yet.

I would highly recommend that new users of my extensions watch this intro video as well as those who are contemplating purchasing any of the extensions.

Version 2.0.9 - 03.03.2026

• Added a "Separate Callouts" option for stemwall foundations into the General tab of the Global Settings.
• Separate callouts for stemwall foundations display the volume for footing and stemwall portions independently.

This update per customer request.

Version 2.0.8b - 03.02.2026

• Updated the Slab draw tool with a more robust "face" draw option.

Version 1.1.9 - 03.01.2026

• Updated the draw floor tool with a more robust "face" draw option.
• Updated the draw opening tool with a more robust "face" draw option.
• Updated the draw flooring tool with a more robust "face" draw option.

Version 2.0.8 - 03.01.2026

• Updated the SOG draw tool with a more robust "face" draw option.

This update per customer request.

Version 4.3.8 - 03.01.2026

• Updated the draw wall perimeter tool with a more robust "face" draw option.

Version 4.3.7 - 02.28.2026

• Added a "Garage Door Extent" option to the Garage Door tab of the Global Settings.
• The garage door extent symbol/outline can now be removed or toggled between a dashed (construction line) or solid line.

This update per customer request.

I've recently had the request to add an annotation to the wall panels that displays the cladding area (net and/or total). See example below:

Obviously I would add this to a separate dimension layer/tag so one could easily toggle it on and off. One can already get this information from the estimating module but this would simply provide a quick and easy way to pull the sqft (area) of a wall panel. By default this extra annotation would be turned off but if desired one could enable it in the global settings (Sheathing tab).

It would not be too much trouble to add something like this in but I just want to roll this in front of a larger audience and see if it is even something that would be useful or beneficial to the majority of the user base.

Version 1.1.8 - 02.26.2026

• Added AcuJoist I-Joists: ACJ 40, ACJ 60, ACJ 80.

I think that gets us to nine different I-Joist manufacturers in the US and Canada. I think Lebel and Eacom (both out of Canada) also make some I-Joist products, but I don't believe they have as much market share as the companies listed below:

• Weyerhaeuser Trus Joist
• Boise Cascade BCI Joists
• LP SolidStart I-Joists
• Red Built Red-I I-Joists
• PinkWood SAFEjoists and PKjoists I-Joists
• Roseburg RFPI I-Joists
• Nordic I-Joists
• PWT PWI I-Joists
• AcuJoist I-Joists

Version 1.1.7b - 02.25.2026

• Fixed a bug with the ceiling gypsum option.

Previously if you set the ceiling inset parameter to zero the logic would try to apply this zero offset and would throw an error and then abort the draw process. I guess I automatically assumed a non-zero inset (ie. 3.5 or 5.5 inches) and did not test it with a zero inset, so I never caught this specific state.

Shout out to @ArtisanTony for finding this one for me. I probably would never have found out since I'm always using an inset when I turn on the gypsum, I don't think I've ever used a zero inset.

Keep sending in those bug reports, it is greatly appreciated. This extension isn't very old so I know there are still a few more small fires to put out, the trick of course is finding them all.

Version 1.1.7 - 02.25.2026

• Added PWT I-Joists: PWI 18S, PWI 32S, PWI 42S, PWI 53L, PWI 36L, PWI 56L.

Added per customer request.

Version 1.1.6 - 02.24.2026

• Added Nordic I-Joists: NI 20, NI 40X, NI 60, NI 80, NI 90, 80X.

Added per customer request.

Version 1.1.5 - 02.23.2026

• Added Roseburg RFPI I-Joists: RFPI 20, RFPI 400, RFPI 40, RFPI 70, RFPI 90, RFPI 40S, RFPI 60S, RFPI 80S.

The Roseburg I-Joists include LVL and solid sawn flanges. This manufacturer of I-Joists added per customer request.

Version 1.5.8 - 02.16.2026

• Fixed a minor bug with misc. fixtures.
• Added additional "Wilkerson Art" framed art prints within the "art" category under misc. fixtures.

Version 4.3.5 - 02.15.2026

• Added the ability to create custom "Beveled T&G" wall cladding materials within the Material Library.
• Enabled "3D" Beveled T&G wall cladding for all wall types: Rectangular, Gable, Shed and Hip.

This 3D material by customer request.

The three numeric parameters in order are: board spacing, bevel height and bevel depth

An example of this 3D material might be: beveltg_6.0_0.25_0.25
