Development and Updates for the Medeek Floor Plugin

[Medeek]

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.

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):

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 1.0.0 - 05.10.2025
- Enabled an edge material/texture for LSL rim boards.
- Fixed a bug with diagonal deck boards for large aspect ratio decks/floors.
- Fixed a number of misc. minor bugs.
- Added the following steel deck profiles: 2.0D, 3.5D, BCD-36, N3CD-32, W2CD-36, W3CD-36.



The floor opening tool and the MPC wood trusses are still pending so I really don't want to call this Version 1.0.0 but I also really need to get some bug fixes out the door and some other minor updates and I've run out of letters in the alphabet.  In the next couple of weeks I'm hoping to devote all of my time to these two big items and see if we can actually knock them out this time.

I'll be the first to admit that I am spread a bit thin with all of these plugins.  I've been bouncing back and forth between the Wall and the Truss plugins for the last couple of months but now the Floor plugin needs my attention.
