Also an FYI.  I'm testing out Discord (Medeek Channel) for those who want to chat more interactively.  I can't guarantee I will be on all the time so this is a bit experimental:

Version 3.8.4 - 01.14.2025

- Added a minimum winder depth parameter for all stair winder types.
- Adjusted the deck handrail algorithm for narrow cap rails (2x4).

I wanted to better understand the Hide Edges feature in the Medeek Foundations plugin, but I knew a Google search might lead me down an inefficient path. Since I've found that creating Custom GPTs in ChatGPT can be more effective for focused queries, I decided to create one with the following persona and attributes:

Custom GPT Persona: SketchUp Plugin Specialist (Medeek Designs)
I use SketchUp plugins from Medeek Designs – https://design.medeek.com. The plugin developer provides resources and support through his website, a dedicated forum – https://design.medeek.com/smf/index.php, and on YouTube.

Your role as my Custom GPT is to search all relevant web resources related to Medeek Designs to help me quickly and efficiently answer questions about his SketchUp plugins.

*******

This approach ensures I'm getting precise, context-aware assistance without wasting time on less relevant search results.

Here's a link to the Medeek Designs Sketchup Plugin custom GPT.  You're welcome to try it, but I think a ChatGPT subscription may be required.

Version 3.8.3 - 01.10.2025
- Added a "deck" profile or option for handrails (with balusters) to the stair module.

Tutorial 61- Handrails for Decks (8:51 min.)

First look at handrail and post options for "deck" staircases:



I have some more work to do on the balusters or pickets but I should have this wrapped up by tomorrow and then back over to the Floor plugin.

The top run of stairs is set to the "Vertical" or post-to-post option, whereas the bottom run is set to "OTP". I've seen both variants when it comes to typical deck staircases. If there are others I can also add them in but I will start with these two for now.

Version 3.8.2 - 01.05.2025
- Added balusters to the stair module for vertical and OTP handrails.
- Added newel posts to the stair module for vertical and OTP handrails.

Tutorial 60 - Balusters, Posts and Handrails (16:39)

First look at over-the-post handrails with posts:
