I don’t know exactly, turn on the ruby console and then duplicate the error and then send me the error codes (nathan@medeek.com).
Will do, but not tonight 
Done.
Version 3.2.0 - 11.28.2022
- Fixed a minor bug with the roof cladding thickness parameter when the materials option is toggled off.
Strange that I never noticed this bug before but I guess most of us turn on the materials option so that is probably why no one ever really noticed. I highly recommend turning on the materials options to get the full bang for your buck out of the plugin but in the rare chance you don’t want to this bug fix will take care of the previous issue reported above.
Thank you!
This was the birth of the Truss Designer (Oct. 8, 2013) which eventually led to the Truss plugin and all the other plugins.
P.S.
I was actually working out of a hotel for about 8 months, it wasn’t much of a life but it did allow me to fully focus on my (side) work without any interruptions.
P.P.S
Notice the text sitting on the floor. Structural Analysis by R.C. Hibbeler. Without this text I would never have figured out the matrix analysis section of my code. Probably the most complex bit of code I’ve ever written, even to this day what it is does is like magic to me. Chapter 16 on Plane Frame Analysis using the Stiffness Method is the solution to the problem with which I was facing.
Version 3.2.1 - 01.04.2024

Version 3.2.2 - 01.11.2023
- Enabled layer control integration with the Medeek Project extension.
- Moved the Medeek Tools module to the Medeek Project extension.
!!! BUG ALERT - SKETCHUP 2023 !!!
I’ve just identified an issue with the Truss plugin and the current release of SU 2023.
Many of the tools within the Truss plugin still use the UI.inputbox module for simple menus, see example below:
If you notice that this type of menu appears (not an HTML menu) then press alt-tab which will then require you to refocus on the menu with your mouse and will also allow it to function correctly.
I don’t know all of the details however it appears that the backend framework has extensively changed and in the process a few focus bugs have slipped through and need to be ironed out with SU 2023. See status and more details at the thread below:
For now I would recommend staying with SU 2022 if you extensively use SketchUp combined with the Truss and Foundation plugins. However the Alt-Tab work around should also keep you up and running if you have already migrated to SU 2023.
I am hoping that minor update will be forthcoming in the near future from SketchUp, which will save me from having to rewrite a significant amount of code and pull me away from the Floor plugin development. If the bug is not fixed I will proceed to switch all remaining menus in the Truss and Foundation plugins to HTML dialog type menus, that process could take upwards of two to three weeks.
dear doctor
First of all, thank you very much for creating such a useful plugin as meedek tools.
I would like to ask you if you add steel construction materials to wooden roof, because our steel roof is more demanded in Turkey, steel roof profiles
Version 3.2.5 - 06.17.2023
- Enabled a gable wall cut for attic trusses.
- Enabled a feature to selectively remove specific trusses from an attic truss assembly.
After making the tutorial video for the inclined walls yesterday it quickly became apparent to me that the features for dealing with attic trusses and their implementation are wholly inadequate.
The gable cut allows for one to then insert a hip wall into the opening created by the attic truss, which then further allows for windows and doors being inserted into the gable end of an attic truss.
When dormers are added to an attic truss as shown it is usually necessary to remove certain trusses that conflict with these dormers and then ladder framing is added to bridge the gap created. The selective truss removal feature will now allow for the removal of any specific number of trusses in a attic truss assembly. However note that it does not automatically insert any of the ladder framing for the roof or floor of the attic.
I will probably create a tutorial video explaining both of these features in more detail in the next couple of days.
Tutorial 21: Attic Trusses (14:26 min.)
A brief overview and demo of the Gable Wall Cut option and the selective truss removal feature.
These same two features should also be enabled for the gambrel attic truss:
Now that I’ve worked out the details I figured it would only take me about 30 minutes to update the gambrel attic module with the same but then I realized that I have never actually added the edit menu for this truss type. I’ve got my hands full for tomorrow.
Is the truss plugin drawing all the trusses now? There have been some instances where it only drew one half of the truss?
Thanks
You mean with gambrels?
It’s been doing full trusses for others types for a long time.
