Version 4.4.9 - 04.19.2026
- Enabled a secondary custom profile/component parameter for balusters.
- Added additional ornamental iron balusters into the baluster component library.











I think I've beat this horse to death.  Hopefully with this added option we can configure most of the common baluster layouts, however there will always be a few that will be beyond the scope of the plugin (ie. three or more baluster types in various repeating patterns).

Version 4.4.8c -  04.19.2026
- Fixed a minor typo in the stair module.
- Added a ornamental iron baluster into the baluster component library.



The limitations of profile cutting balusters can be overcome by using a predefined component instead, which allows for much more intricate baluster geometries.

However as I have been researching various baluster layouts I've noticed that with iron balusters usually more than one baluster style is utilized.  The typical scenario is two or three different baluster geometries are alternated along the run of stairs.  I will need to give this some more thought.



Stairs can be a "rabbit hole".

Version 4.4.8b - 04.18.2026
- Enabled custom components as balusters for vertical and OTP handrails.



Th sub-folder structure is the same as for newel posts, so Tutorial #85 is applicable to balusters as well.

Version 4.4.7 - 04.16.2026
- Fixed a bug with custom door positioning for metric templates.
- Enabled "profile cutting" of posts for vertical handrails.
- Fixed a bug with the bottom trimming algorithm for balusters.

Thanks -- I need to get that sketchup and see if I can do some more work with it to add to my cabin

Meanwhile, the addition should go on this year!

I'm not sure on other sites, can you do it with google photos?  

Looking good!

Hi everyone,

I'm currently looking for a better image hosting service to replace Photobucket. I've used it for years to upload progress photos for a long-term project, but lately I've found it slow, outdated, and difficult to use.

I'm hoping to find a platform that offers:

• Organization by folders and subfolders
• Bulk upload support (Lightroom integration would be a big plus)
• Easy bulk sharing with direct image links or forum code

I've used Flickr for photos, but I find it difficult to share large numbers of images, and I still have hundreds more images to upload.

What image hosting service are you currently using and can you recommend one?

Could you share or help me with advice on this issue?
