So far so good with SU 2023, but I am still testing and looking at it.

Medeek Floor Plugin / Re: Development and Updates fo...
Last post by Medeek - February 25, 2023, 02:22:11 AM
The edit menu and draw menu are pretty much done now, just a few more tweaks and error checking and we might be able to start creating our first real floors with this thing:



I was going to include the blocking as an advanced option but after some further thought it seemed like it might be more intuitive to have the blocking be similar to beams and openings, where you can really customize the location and size etc... of each row of blocks independently.

I usually have a pretty good idea how I want things to go even before I start coding but sometimes you get halfway into it and you realize that an alternative method or system would be more optimal.

Gotcha, so sorry to hear that, I hope you are recovering well. Keep up the good work! I along with many others are excited for the floor plugin!  ;D

BTW, with SU 2023 released, do you expect to have any issues with Medeek being compatible?

Here is a first look at what the updated Floor plugin Layer tab in the Global Settings looks like:



I just realized that the Layer Control in the Project plugin does not have a control in place for the new Floor plugin, there is always more to do.

Medeek Truss Designer / Re: Development and Updates fo...
Last post by Medeek - February 10, 2023, 05:50:08 PM
This was the birth of the Truss Designer (Oct. 8, 2013) which eventually led to the Truss plugin and all the other plugins.



P.S.
I was actually working out of a hotel for about 8 months, it wasn't much of a life but it did allow me to fully focus on my (side) work without any interruptions.

P.P.S
Notice the text sitting on the floor. Structural Analysis by R.C. Hibbeler. Without this text I would never have figured out the matrix analysis section of my code. Probably the most complex bit of code I've ever written, even to this day what it is does is like magic to me. Chapter 16 on Plane Frame Analysis using the Stiffness Method is the solution to the problem with which I was facing.
