I am starting this thread for the continued encouragement of Mr. Wilkerson in his creation and development of Medeek extensions. Feel free to post general ideas here. (Please post specific ideas about any individual extension to the appropriate thread.)

[image] medeek: at some point if the API allows it would be really nice to automate some of the tedious work associated with putting together construction documents. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe the api already enables you to create LayOut documents and LayOut entities from within S…

That is kind of the level of automation I am hoping to get to. Yes, its going to be fun to program.

This makes me think of when I bought a multi-tool and had the hard decision whether to take the one with 16 or 20 functions (more expensive). And now I still have to take both my new and my old multi-tool with me because 1-2 functions are missing and 90% overlapping. The challenge for a developer i…

Other users of the Medeek plugins please share your opinions about my following comment: Valuable features for/to me are code compliance integrated modeling (IRC or possibly https://codecheck.com/ instead), drafting standards LayOut tools ( United States National CAD Standard - V6 ), and estimating p…

I agree that it would be very nice if all plugins or at least a majority of them could interact well with each other and even share data using a common protocol. I have been contacting other developers in regards to having their window and door plugins interact with my wall plugin, with very little…

How is the process on the overarching vision? [image] SketchUp for Builders: New SketchUp Book SketchUp I just received my copy of John Brock’s new book yesterday. I haven’t had a chance yet to thoroughly review it from cover to cover but at a cursory glance it appears …

Reading through John’s book right after Christmas I happened upon the section on electrical, mechanical and plumbing (chapter 15). This is what gave me the initial idea to add an electrical module to the Wall plugin, which of coursed has recently morphed into the Medeek Electrical extension. I did…

Have you, by chance, contacted John Brock about collaboration, instead of reinventing the wheel for an estimating tool? (Sorry, you may have already given me an answer about this.)

The estimating tool I am including in the Wall plugin will eventually be moved to a separated plugin within the mdkBIM package. The Medeek Estimator is drastically different than either the Estimator by John Brock or Quantifier. Those two estimating extensions are general estimators and are design…

The Medeek Estimator plugin will be specific to mdkBIM, but the Medeek Electrical plugin is NOT specific to mdkBIM? (The estimating feature is fairly easy to implement if assemblies are already parametric, right?)
