Since I added the steel trusses I've had some call for steel decking.  I will look at adding in Verco Decking by Nucor, they have quite a complete product lineup for floors and roofs and it is well documented (so I can get it dimensionally accurate):

https://vercodeck.com/





The example shown is a W3-36 (FormLock) steel deck with 6.5 inches (total slab thickness) of concrete topping it.  If I provide the steel decking it makes sense to also provide an option for the concrete as well (at any thickness).

Are there any specifics decking types anyone would like to see added or additional options?  The decking will be able to rotated zero or ninety.  I will also provide an overhang parameter (and removal list) similar to the deck board options.

Version 0.9.9x - 12.01.2024
- Fixed a bug with the SUBTRACT_JOIST feature.
- Updated the algorithm for large span Open Joist floors.



Rather than insert a fictitious joist size that does not actually exist I decided to insert two short joist products back to back.  This seems to be the typical way to handle large span floors with this product (similar examples are given in the product literature).  This update was also by customer request.

The update to the SUBTRACT_JOIST feature is a critical update and I highly recommend updating to this latest version if you are using that functionality.  Since the boolean subtraction of the joists happens before the final floor assembly is created I had to account for the pre-transformation of the joist geometry and include this within the subtraction method.

Tutorial 19 - Steel Trusses and Joists (18:19 min.)

Version 0.9.9w - 11.25.2024 thru 11.29.2024
- Fixed multiple bugs with metric units within the attribute libraries and edit menu.
- Fixed a bug with offset joists and metal bracing, blocking and insulation.

I have been giving MPC floor trusses some more thought since this is the last big floor system type that is not part of the plugin yet. The example I've shown below was created with the existing floor truss module of the Truss plugin. I created three separate assemblies to give me the geometry needed to end up with this final model (some manual editing required, but doable in about 1-2 minutes). The common trusses themselves are not too much trouble the algorithm already exists for their geometry and placement. However I will need to come up with some new logic for the gable (ladder) trusses shown:

Version 0.9.9v - 11.24.2024
- Added a "Web Shield" option for PinkWood (PKI) I-Joists.
- Fixed multiple bugs with the floor preset module.
- Fixed a bug related to metric units within the edit menu.
- Updated (Manufacturers: LP and PinkWood) links on the Floor plugin website.





They now have this new option called "WebShield":

Version 0.9.9u - 11.23.2024
- Added the "CFS" floor family: ClarkDietrich, JoistRite and TotalJoist.
- Added additional logic for non-standard joist sizes for Open Joists (TriForce).
- Addressed some minor bugs with metal bracing and other advanced options for top chord bearing trusses (Open Web and Steel).
- Added a built-in steel material option for rim joists.



Let me know on any other floor framing system(s) that I should add.

Version 0.9.9t - 11.19.2024
- Added the "Open Web" floor family (RedBuilt™: Red-L, Red-M, Red-S, Red-M, Red-H).
- Added the following TriForce Open Joists: OJ3-14, OJ4-14, OJ3-16, OJ4-16.
- Added the "Steel Truss" floor family (Nucor®: K-Series).
- Added a removal parameter for sill plates.

Various configurations and example usages of top-bottom and bottom-top for open web (Redbuilt) and steel trusses (K Series):

First look at a Nucor/Vulcraft (K Series) steel floor truss (top chord bearing):



Currently these are defined by 13 parameters but I may need an additional four in order to specify a top chord extension and the bottom chord extension on both ends.

It isn't too big of a stretch to also include some steel open web trusses/joists:

First look at some RedBuilt (Red-W) open web floor trusses:

Version 0.9.9s - 11.13.2024
- Added the "Open Joist" floor family.
- Added the following TriForce Open Joists: OJ3-11.875, OJ4-11.875.

First look at a TRIFORCE Open Joist floor:

There has been some call for this product line so I am working on the algorithms so that it can be configured properly.  It is a bit more complicated due to the directional nature of its trimming panel (only one end can be trimmed).
