Version 0.9.9p - 11.08.2024
- Added a "Wall" draw mode to the floor draw tool.
- Enabled "Perimeter Options" within the edit menu of the floor tool.

Tutorial 17 - Linking Floors and Walls (11:09 min.)



I apologize I got so interested and focused on the wall draw mode for floors that I completely forgot about the updates I made to allow for drawing floor coverings on slab etc...  I will drop those updates into the very next release which will probably be this weekend.

Version 0.9.9o - 11.07.2024
- Added a Material X-Offset parameter for the floor covering material.
- Added a Material Y-Offset parameter for the floor covering material.
- Added a Material Rotation parameter for the floor covering material.





I will probably add in the same offsets and rotation parameters for the underlayment as well, but I will hold off for now until it is requested.  I really want to get back onto the floor opening tool.

Medeek Floor Plugin / Suggestions, Ideas and Roadmap
Last post by Medeek - November 04, 2024, 03:25:40 AM
Please post any ideas, suggestions or other thoughts you may have on the Floor plugin and what direction you think I should go on specific features.  I will also try to post my own ideas and future plans and concepts I am working on or considering.

Version 0.9.9m - 11.04.2024

- Added a "Wall" draw mode to the floor covering draw tool.
- Enabled "Perimeter Options" within the edit menu of the floor covering tool.



When drawing floor coverings you can now toggle between polyline, face or wall mode.  Wall mode will allow you to select any number of Medeek walls (in logical order) which will define the boundary or perimeter of the floor covering.  At first I was going to make this a fire-and-forget type of draw mode but instead it makes sense to retain the association even after the initial floor covering is created.

If any of the walls are deleted or somehow the "link" is broken the floor covering assembly will resort back to its "point" mode and the save points generated by the walls.  So it will or should fail gracefully in these cases.  Also note that there is a wall side associated with each wall assembly, this can easily be changed from EXT to INT or vice versa as needed.

I will make a new tutorial video showing this increased functionality and it should further help explain how this new system works and how to use it.  I've been testing this feature for almost five days now so I think it is fairly robust but I am sure there may be specific cases that may defeat my algorithms.  Bottom line, this is brand new so proceed with some caution.

Still working on this algorithm but at least I have the tool setup now so one can switch it into Wall mode and then select the specific walls that will eventually determine the perimeter of the floor covering:
