Is 8,000 sqft too large? I'm going to say yes, at least for most people.



Besides the regular mdkBIM plugins I also used the grid tool (Medeek Project), but the regular SketchUp grid tool works just as well. A grid tool is a requirement in my opinion, you really need something like this for laying things out correctly.

I also used TIG's mirror tool for certain manual modeling tasks.

The trim and extend tools in the Medeek Project were also very handy for creating my diagonal braces.

Very instructive video showing off all of the Medeek plugins but I think one of the first to show the Floor plugin actually in action:

I am currently working on the floor covering tool which will then become the code template for the floor opening tool.  Once I have those two big items completed I think we will finally have a mostly usable plugin. 

I am sure there will be requests for additional features and/or changes to the functionality but the core of the plugin will be mostly in place.  At that point I will test the plugin in as many states as possible and attempt to discover any final bugs or issues, then within a couple days I will probably release Version 1.0.0.

Further integration with the estimating module will also be something on the todo list in the weeks ahead.

As always please feel free to chime in with any specific requests or items you feel need to be addressed.  I take all feedback and suggestions very seriously and I take everything under consideration.  Ultimately I will weigh every idea in the balance and based on its relevancy and time considerations your ideas may quickly become a reality within this plugin or any other plugin in the Medeek family.

Version 0.9.9e - 10.04.2024
- Updated 2-Ply rim joists with air gap to extend joists that are in a lapped configuration.
- Updated the Floor tab of the Global Settings with even more parameters for joist construction.
- Added the following face mount Simpson hangers into the built-in library: MIU1819, MIU18111, MIU18114, MIU18116, MIU18118.

Double rim joists with air gap, lapped and extended:



A quick test of the non-orthogonal floor types shows that the algorithm holds up as it should:

Version 0.9.9d - 10.03.2024
- Fixed critical bugs with saving of floor presets.
- Improved robustness of floor attribute library and data lookup methods.

Some incremental improvements but necessary. 

IMPORTANT
Note that the last few updates prior to this update introduced a number of new features that effectively disabled the saving of floor presets.  Please download this latest update to restore the ability to save floor presets.

Version 0.9.9c - 10.03.2024

• Enabled diagonal deck boards with the addition of a Board rotation parameter.
• Enabled 2-Ply rim joists with our without an air gap.
