Version 3.9.0d - 02.14.2025
- Fixed a floating point rounding bug for metric templates.
- Fixed a bug for balusters when a run of stairs is a single step.

Still putting out a few little fires.  Whenever you make big changes it always seems like you miss something or you add a new feature that adds a whole new level of complexity, and then the plugin gets itself into states that you did not foresee.  That is what makes this job fun, you get surprised once in a while.

Please feel free to send me any additional bug reports or feature requests.  I think we've just about wrapped up the stair module for a while.

Version 3.9.0c - 02.12.2025
- Fixed a bug when the top tread is flush.

Version 1.4.9 - 02.11.2025
- Added three generic hvac condensor units/sizes into the built-in library (with WeatherGuardTM tops): 30X28_WG, 30x32_WG, 30x40_WG.



These additional variants added per customer request.  They are the exact same as the similar sized units other than the addition of the weather guard top.  Hopefully this gives enough selection for typical residential AC units however if there is need for any other styles etc... please let me know.

Version 3.9.0 - 02.11.2025
- Enabled zero size intermediate posts (balusters) for glass railing.
- Fixed a bug with floor level winders/landings for landing treads and covers.

Version 3.8.9 - 02.09.2025
- Added preview thumbnails for handrail fittings to the draw and edit menus of the stair tool.
- Fixed a bug with adjacent winders/landings for landing treads and covers.
- Fixed a minor bug with materials for handrail fittings.

mdkBIM Renewals - UPDATE (Feb. 8, 2025)

For those who can not be bothered to renew each license separately, I have come up with a solution finally. If you are mdkBIM license holder (ie. you have all five licenses - Wall, Truss, Floor, Foundation, and Project) you will now notice that when you click on the mdkBIM icon in the Account Manager on the Medeek website that the renewal price will appear instead of the regular "new" price. In other words you can purchase a new mdkBIM bundle (all five licenses) at the renewal price.

Note, that this is technically not a renewal of any of your licenses, it simply allows you to purchase new licenses at the discounted (renewal) price. For those who are wanting to sync up all their licenses to the same renewal date this is a convenient solution. However, note that if time is remaining on any existing licenses it is not applied to the new licenses.

Version 1.4.8 - 02.07.2025
- Added "hvac" under misc. fixtures.
- Added four generic hvac condensor units/sizes into the built-in library: 30X28, 30x32, 30x40, 36x32.

I've had some call for AC condenser units, so I'm going to create some very generic low poly models to add into the built-in library.
Here is my first crack at a 30x30x40 unit (it is a solid group):

Let me know if there are any particular sizes or geometries you would like to see added.

Just a few more loose ends before I jump back to the Floor plugin.

I would like to enable landing treads for winders, but things get a little interesting when the min. winder length is set to zero.  Does this look okay?
