Medeek Floor Plugin

Looks like I'm about 95% there with floor trusses:



The only issue appears to be what happens when ribbon boards are enabled and you have an inside corner as shown. I probably need to add in some additional logic to eliminate the slot for the ribbon board in these cases.

Version 1.0.7 - 06.06.2025
- Enabled MPC Wood Trusses with ribbon boards, multiple chases and gable trusses.
- Updated the Move Floor Edge tool so that it also toggles the metal plate connector layer.
- Update the SUBTRACT_JOIST feature so that it can adequately handle MPC wood trusses.

Version 1.0.8 - 06.08.2025
- Updated the SUBTRACT and SUBTRACT_JOIST features so that they can better handle MPC wood trusses, steel trusses and open web "Redbuilt" trusses.
- Updated the Floor Opening module so that it can handle MPC wood trusses, steel trusses and open web "Redbuilt" trusses.
- Added a "None" option for the header type in the draw and edit menus for floor openings.

In many cases when you introduce a stairwell opening into  a floor like this it will be along the perimeter of the floor assembly as shown.  In these cases it is simpler to create your floor perimeter with the opening in mind:







Note, in order to create the additional gable truss (2x6 ply) I first changed my ply width to 5.5" then copied the gable truss at the interior of the stair well, then pasted it in place in the root of the model and then edited the floor assembly back to the typical 3.5" ply width.  Alternatively one could simply frame this small pony wall with the Wall plugin (ie. conventional framing) just as easily.

I'm not exactly sure how the trusses would work where the LVL beam/header is positioned at the start of the stairwell, obviously we would need some kind of header at that location.

Here is a link to the model for those who are interested in examining this floor truss example in more detail:
