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:

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.

They've really buried the free version (online only, and limited) but it still works for me when I don't need to export DWG's etc.

Thanks for this link, I was able to see projects that I thought lost.  I don't have access to download anything, but its nice to see the old plans.

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.
