These don't seem like major updates however there are numerous places within the plugin that required updating and also during the process I was able to further refine and compress the code so it is now more efficient and better organized.  Updates were made to the following modules:  Walls, Stairs, Columns, Beams, Posts and Shearwalls.

Some Youtube viewers of this video reached out and told me that they had more equipment than could reasonably fit within such a small structure.  I agree, maybe a 16'x12' space is a bit cramped for anyone, especially if you are also using it for a content creation studio.  This is where the parametrics of the extensions come in real handy:

Per customer request I will add in an LSL option for the framing very shortly:



I'm using the updated LSL texture I created for the Floor plugin, but I still feel like it is a bit dull or dark compared to my previous texture (OSB).  It could be a bit more vibrant or saturated.  I will need to spend some more time on this.

Weyerhaeuser sells their Timberstrand line of LSL framing and studs:

However, I would always worry about water damage.  What happens if the LSL gets wet?  We all know what happens to OSB, and plywood is a much more robust product in comparison.  Standard lumber seems like a much more resilient choice when it comes to potential water damage, but I could be wrong.
