Referral Links / Re: Wall Plugin for SketchUp
Last post by Medeek Engineering - Today at 11:48:36 AM
**Version 4.4.4** - 04.02.2026
- Enabled the following methods within the Medeek Wall API: wall_draw_perim
- Enabled "profile cutting" of balusters for vertical and OTP handrails.




I'm not sure why I didn't realize I could do this before but I woke up yesterday and I realized that a simple profile could be revolved into the cutting solid (like putting a piece of square stock on a lathe) and then boolean subtracted from the square baluster as shown to give a typical "turned" baluster.

Tutorial 82 - Medeek Wall API (18:43 min.)



I think with all the rapid developments in AI there will begin to be an increase in AI assisted workflows.  We are only seeing the beginning of this.  Honestly, If I don't develop this API I will simply get left behind.  I will need to add in many more methods (ie. draw_door, draw_window, draw_column etc...) I also need to do this for each plugin.

The structure / exterior of this house was built with Countryplans 20x30 'The One Story Cottage' plans.  It was built by me and my family over the period of a couple years from raw unimproved land.

I waited until our permit closed to post photos.

Will post construction photos soon.
