Wall Plugin for SketchUp

[Medeek]

I suppose one could gang together as many window units as one would like, but two or three is probably the practical limit from a structural standpoint.

Here is a three-gang of windows with one header, utilizing the recent advanced framing options:

Version 4.0.0b - 05.28.2025
- Enabled "green" pressure treated lumber within the stair module.

[Medeek]

Version 4.0.1 - 05.29.2025
- Added five additional layers to the Layers tab of the Global Settings for stair assemblies.
- Added a "Stair Layers" option into the Layers tab of the Global Settings in order to toggle the stair layers "On" or "Off".

Version 4.0.2 - 06.01.2025
- Added a bottom gap parameter to the draw and edit menu of the door module.
- Added the bottom gap parameter to the door tab of the global settings.

Version 4.0.3 - 07.03.2025
- Fixed a long standing bug (06/27/2023) with the edit dimension tool for framing dimensions (rectangular walls).

[Medeek]

Version 4.0.4 - 07.13.2025
- Added the following steel post types to the post module: Round (HSS), Pipe (NPS).



I'm not sure why I never added a "pipe" option in before, I guess no one ever asked until now.

I will need to add more sizes but I now have the most commonly used sizes from 3" to 6" DIA.

Version 4.0.4b - 07.14.2025
- Added springfield plates to the post base and post cap libraries (for 3.5" and 4.0" pipe).
- Added the following Simpson post caps to the post module: LLC35_35, LCC35_4, LCC45_35, LCC45_4, LCC525_35, LCC525_4, LCC6_35, LCC6_4, LCC7_35, LCC7_4.





If I'm going to add in this new "pipe" post then it stands to reason that I also add some appropriate bases and caps to match.

Version 4.0.4c - 07.15.2025
- Added the following Simpson Strong-Tie holdowns to the wall, column and shearwall modules: HDUE3, HDUE5, HDUE7, HDUE9, HDUE13, HDUE17.





Looks like Simpson added this new replacement for the HDU holdown in May of this year.  I just noticed this morning so I added them in.

Note that these are low poly versions of the holdowns based directly off of the geometry provided on Simpson's website.

Version 4.0.5 - 07.16.2025
- Fixed a bug with quadruple end wall studs (applies to all wall types).
- Added the following Simpson Strong-Tie pre-assembled anchor bolts to the wall, column and shearwall modules: PAB6-12, PAB6-18, PAB6-24, PAB6-30, PAB6-36, PAB7-12, PAB7-18, PAB7-24, PAB7-30, PAB7-36, PAB8-12, PAB8-18, PAB8-24, PAB8-30, PAB8-36, PAB10-12, PAB10-18, PAB10-24, PAB10-30, PAB10-36.
- Added the HTTH6.5 holdown to the built-in holdown library.







Note, that these anchor bolts come in five different lengths (12, 18, 24, 30 and 36).  I did not add in the 1/2 and 5/8 dia. anchor bolts since this option is primarily chosen when a much larger anchor bolt is needed, but do let me know if you would like to see them added in.

Just playing catch up on a number of items after spending three or so weeks on the HVAC plugin.  Undoubtedly, I am spread a bit thin these days with six plugins now under active development.
