Version 4.1.9b - 12.18.2025
- Fixed a bug (door presets) introduced with door hardware material update on 11/29/2015 (Version 4.1.5).

Version 4.2.0 - 12.22.2025
- Updated the opening and closing algorithm for all (panel) garage doors.



Not a customer request, just an interesting kinematic challenge that I felt like addressing at some point.  I found the previous garage door opening animation largely unsatisfactory for panel doors like these.  Hopefully you can indulge me with a little gold plating... now back to the real stuff.

Version 4.3.3 - 02.08.2026
- Added the following Simpson Strong-Tie anchor bolts to the wall, column and shearwall modules: SABR58-24, SABR34-26, SABR78-28, SABR1-30, SABR114-32.



These new anchor bolts are included in the new Wood Construction Connectors Catalog (C-C-2026) for 2026.

These low poly versions of the anchor bolts are based on the models provided on Simpsons website.

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.

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.

Version 4.4.5b - 04.08.2026
- Added a tooltip for the Corner Treatment option into the Global Settings, Draw and Edit Wall Menus.



I didn't realize that the term "California Corner" was not well known in the industry.  To that end I've added a tooltip for "Corner Treatment" which shows a typical (2x6) California Corner and a U-Corner.  Hopefully this further clarifies this parameter for some users who are not familiar with this term. The other corner treatments seem fairly self explanatory.

I've been meaning to add in a "Style 6" door hardware option for quite some time.  Basically something for your entrance door, and I haven't had a good option for this until now.  This low poly entrance hardware and deadbolt (handleset) is loosely modeled after the Camelot series by Schlage.  I will include this in the next roll out:
