Version 1.5.9 - 08.18.2020
- Added the "Basic Options" parameters to the Wall tab of the Global Settings.



I'm not sure why these parameters never got added to the global settings a long time ago but I guess better late than never.

[Medeek]

Version 1.5.9b - 08.18.2020
- Fixed a bug with gypsum when applied to the end condition for interior shed walls.

[Medeek]

Version 1.5.9c - 08.19.2020
- Fixed a floating point rounding error in the blocking and cavity insulation modules for all walls.



No bells and whistles tonight.  Sometimes it's just about putting out the fires.

[Medeek]

Version 1.6.0 - 08.23.2020
- Enabled variable king stud and trimmer stud widths for garage doors (non-portal frame).

[Medeek]

Version 1.6.0b - 08.23.2020
- Added the ability to create, load and delete garage door presets within the Edit and Draw (HTML) Menus.
- Fixed a bug with reading in presets from the door and window edit menus.

[Medeek]

Version 1.6.1 - 08.26.2020
- All gable wall types (gable, hip, shed) now include the option to enter in the wall slope as a pitch or angle.

For completeness I think it would be a good idea to add the option for arched garage doors and dutch corners.  The algorithms for arched doors already exist within the man door module and the geometry of dutch corners is very simple.  Give me a couple of days and I will knock this one out.

[Medeek]

Version 1.6.2 - 09.01.2020
- Added three additional parameters to the "User Interface" section of the General tab of the global settings. This allows the customization (colors) of the HTML menus.

Version 1.6.3 - 09.06.2020
- Added (segmental) arched garage doors to the garage door module.



I still need to add the option for dutch corners.

[Medeek]

Version 1.6.4 - 09.07.2020
- Added Dutch Corners to garage doors within the garage door module.

Now the garage door module feels a little more complete.

[Medeek]

Version 1.6.5 - 09.10.2020
- Added a parameter into the global settings to allow for adjustment of the size of labels and annotations.
- Added a parameter into the global settings to allow for adjustment of the font for text found within annotations and labels.
